SACRED CLOWNS

Audio-Reactive Visual Instruments

I am Sacred Clowns. I love music. I built two visual instruments that turn whatever you're listening to into living light — and they run right here in your browser. Pick one, feed it sound, and lose yourself.

TWO WAYS TO LOSE YOURSELF

Both are free to play, both react to your music in real time. One is a 2D art machine, one is a 3D cinema. Start with either — here's your first 30 seconds in each.

Particle Studio

P5.js · 2D · Beat-Reactive

A generative art machine with 32 art styles and 17 shaders that pulse, bloom and explode on the beat. Playlists, live mic, stage mode, live streaming — and it exports PNG, 4K, GIF and video.

  1. 1Give it sound. Click 🎤 Mic and allow your microphone (play music out loud), or switch to Music File and add tracks straight from your device.
  2. 2Find your look. Hit ✨ Generate New, then tap N / B to surf presets until something grabs you.
  3. 3Perform. F fullscreen · G beat boost · P smooth it out. When it's glorious, open Export and record it.

Alchemy Studio

Three.js · 3D · Cinematic

A 3D particle cinema: fields, ribbons and geometry that orbit and breathe with the music. Four shapes, twenty palettes, bloom, trails, camera drift — beat-reactive from the first note.

  1. 1Give it sound. Press Load audio and pick a track, or tap the mic icon and allow your microphone.
  2. 2Choose your world. Pick a shape — Orb, Cube, Pyramid, Diamond — then a palette (try Gold Cathedral or Synthwave).
  3. 3Ride the sliders. Intensity, flow, bloom, chaos, trails… drag to orbit the camera. Use COMPOSE to craft, GO LIVE to perform, VISUALIZE to sit back.

The whole idea

HOW IT WORKS

01

Feed it sound

Your mic hears the room, or load music files straight from your device. Nothing uploads anywhere — the audio stays in your browser.

02

Shape the light

Styles, presets, palettes, sliders. There are no wrong moves — every knob is safe to turn and everything reacts live.

03

Capture & share

Go fullscreen for the show, then record PNG, 4K stills, GIFs or video and post it. Tag the clowns.

Keep this open while you play

Before you ask

GOOD TO KNOW

Is it free?

Yes — both instruments are free to play, right in the browser, no install and no signup. Particle Studio has optional extras for subscribers and NFT pass holders, but the instrument itself is open.

Why does it want my microphone?

That's the live input: the visuals dance to whatever the mic hears — your speakers, your voice, your kitchen. The audio is processed live in your browser and never recorded or uploaded. Prefer not to? Load music files instead.

Nothing is moving — what did I miss?

The instruments need sound. Turn the mic on (and allow the permission popup, then play music out loud), or add a music file and press play. The moment audio flows, everything wakes up.

What should I use it for?

Visuals for your DJ sets and live streams, backdrops for parties, generative art worth framing, music-video textures, or twenty unplanned minutes of staring. All correct answers.

Best browser?

A desktop browser with hardware acceleration (Chrome, Edge, Brave) gives the smoothest show. Alchemy Studio loves a real GPU. Both run on laptops fine — fullscreen it and dim the lights.
