Psychedelic animation generator; (p)art of your next trip
Create psychedelic art using liquid motion, distortion, shadows and light. This tool is free, and works in real-time in the browser.
This project was inspired by drum & bass / acid techno music, and 90s rave posters.
Use this to create art for a music video, concert posters, stylized animations in creative projects, or simply to enjoy alongside some fine music.
Controls / hotkeys:
- 🎲: randomize all inputs [r]
- ⏯️: pause/play the animation [space]
- 📷: save a screenshot image [s]
- 🎥: start and stop video export [v]
- 🔊: start/stop music [m]
Use the full control menu (top-right) to set a custom canvas size, adjust animation speed, control pattern and colours, etc…
You can export your creation as an imag

This is so beautiful! The outputs are trippy and the music fits well.
Nice work

Telefon tel aviv is nice, gfx is crap

IMO the most realistic generated psychedelic images were made by Google's Deep Dream 10 years ago. It seems like it's been mostly forgotten about after the advent of DALL-E, Midjourney, etc.

Any way to lerp transitions like Milkdrop does?

I really do appreciate the 90s, Video Toaster-esque[1] aesthetics

Very nice! Reminds me of something I built on Shadertoy a while back: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4ttGRf

this gave me an overwhelming sense of melancholy

Thank you for reminding me about Telefon Tel Aviv.

Is there a way to make it loop? (So that one only needs to record e.g. 20 seconds, after which it loops to save space)

been tumbling down the old Cthugha and Milkdrop visualization rabbit hole recently, nice gfx and aesthetics on yours and it's always nice to see a fresh take on code

ah this takes me back. Thanks ;)

I think AI tools like Stable Diffusion have a big potential.
Something along the lines of what Nexxus 604 is doing.

So cool! Would love to be able to easily make it full screen (maybe I'm missing the button for that)

I love these projects, I've been really passionate about including our own sensory inputs into the experience, whether it's voice, webcam input or (in the future health metrics) in order to tailor the experience to the experiencers' desires.

I love it, it would be awesome if the controls could slowly and randomly adjust themselves so over time the images transition.

Very cool animations, but they don't strike me as "psychedelic". A bit too smooth and unstructured.

Very similar to my favorite trip toy of the 90s… rock ‘star’ Todd Rundgren’s Flowfazer. Quite mesmerizing for toddlers, too.

Cool. But this literally crashed my phone. I've never seen anything like it. Was impressed really. Little nervous. But it locked my Brave browser first then it locked my entire phone. System UI and Android crashed. It recovered but wow. What a trip.
