Andries M. · Vlaanderen, BE

Creative Code Artist

I write shaders and small engines that turn sound and mathematics into moving images, then render them at 4K. The sound is usually mine too: Ableton, tekno first, with detours into techno, darkpsy and minimal. Everything here is built from scratch: no frameworks, no dependency trees. The rest of my week goes to the land, farming part time and fully organic.

01

Resonance

WebGL2GLSLWeb Audio

An audio-reactive GLSL visualiser. Scenes are nothing but JSON and shader files; a shared feed injects the live audio uniform into every shader, while post-FX and presets live in the engine. Roughly 35 scenes and two hundred presets so far, from raymarched fractals to minimal surfaces and hyperbolic honeycombs. It exports stills at 3840 x 2160.

Local

Twelve different Resonance scenes in a labelled grid, from a Mandelbulb and a Menger sponge to Octonion Julia sets, a torus knot and a sphere lattice — Part of the scene library

Six raymarched fractal scenes side by side: Mandelbox, Menger sponge, Sierpinski, Apollonian, Mandelbulb and a quaternion Julia set — Raymarched distance fields, six built-in scenes

A grid of sixteen renders of the same Seifert surface, stepped across thickness and detail settings — One surface, swept across thickness and detail

Four hyperbolic honeycombs in green and cyan, labelled with their Schlafli symbols — Hyperbolic honeycombs, four Schläfli symbols

Gyroid, Schwarz D and I-WP minimal surfaces in magenta and cyan, above three tropical amoeba curves — Minimal surfaces and tropical amoebas

02

Ruin

WebGL2PWAAndroid

A dark-aesthetic photo studio: WebGL2 colour grading, glitch passes and cinemagraph loops that turn a still into a subtly moving frame. Installs as an Android app.

03

Kaleida

WebGL2Web Audio

A self-contained kaleidoscope that listens. Drop in a track, get symmetry-folded visuals that move with it, and record straight to WebM.

Local

Still from BaRRyT: concentric rings of yellow, magenta and blue rippling out from the centre — BaRRyT, recorded straight out of Kaleida

04

Vizforge

GPUCLIFFmpeg

The offline counterpart: a GPU renderer taking audio and video in, writing a bit-exact lossless audio track alongside an H.264 master. Zero npm dependencies.

Local

Still from Withering: a plant graded into hard magenta and cyan, with smoke drifting behind it — Withering, rendered with Vizforge

05

Mug

WebGL2Image

A caricature portrait deformer using WebGL2 liquify. The plateau falloff curve is the whole trick: it makes a deform read as funny instead of mushy. Drop in a face and it never leaves your machine.

Sound

Sound Design in Ableton

Ableton LiveTeknoDarkpsy

Tekno first, with detours into techno, darkpsy and minimal. All kinds of weird loops and half-finished worlds, built from scratch in Ableton. It is the outlet, and it feeds straight back into the visual work, because the engines above listen to it.

Ongoing

07

Healing Frequencies

Ableton LiveMeditationBinaural

The current build: long-form frequency work for meditation and deep rest, aimed at the body as much as the mind, and at the states just past it. Astral projection, trance, letting go. Slow, tuned, and made to be listened to with your eyes shut.

Building

08

MIDI Packs

MIDIGenerative

Generative eight-bar MIDI packs for goa and nitzhonot: phrygian dominant, 145 to 155 BPM, every loop built to close cleanly on the bar.

Factuurlezer

TypeScriptUBLPWA

Belgian Peppol UBL e-invoices rendered as clean, printable documents. Fully client-side, so the invoice never leaves the browser.

WIP

Systems & automation

14

Phonelab

ADBAndroidInstallation

Dumped Android phones, repaired and brought back, then driven together over ADB from one browser dashboard. They are headed for a frame on the wall: one visual projected across the whole grid so the screens form a single large image, or addressed one by one as small independent panels. Salvage as a display surface.

Active

15

Candlewatch

WorkerCronTelegram

A Bitvavo four-hour candle watcher on a Worker cron, pushing signals to Telegram. Deliberately read-only: it never places a trade.

Private

Spinneke

FFmpegPipeline

A Reels pipeline: drop a clip, get a watermarked 9:16 cut, review it, then publish out to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Flipper Tooling

CJSEmbedded

Custom Flipper Zero work: a PC-side control CLI, JavaScript apps and native C plugins for the Momentum firmware.

Off-grid

The other job

Part of my week goes into screens. Another part goes into the ground. I farm part time and fully organic: a vegetable garden and polytunnel that carry a good share of what I eat, with no chemicals and no shortcuts. It runs on the same terms as the code: built slowly, from scratch, and understood all the way down.

Around it sits the rest of the setup: solar panels, thermal collectors, off-grid power, and a slow move out of the normal system. The long game is a small plot that feeds and powers itself and needs as little from the grid as possible. And animals: there are always animals around here, and they get a say in how the place is run.
