Circus

A circus drawn with code and played by your song: the big top at night with its bulbs chasing on the beat and the curtains opening on the drop, the ringmaster in the spotlight, a flying trapeze whose swing keeps the bars and whose catch lands on the downbeat, a juggler throwing real siteswap patterns that change with the song, a wire walker who wobbles on the beat and recovers, and a grand finale with every act at once.

The Big Top

The big top at night from outside: striped canvas sagging between its poles, strings of bulbs chasing on every beat, flags in the wind, searchlights sweeping with the bars, and the entrance curtains opening on the drop onto the show's light.

Classic Studio

The Ring

Inside the ring: the ringmaster in a follow-spot presenting on every downbeat, tumblers flipping across the ring on the bars, a cheerful clown juggling, the stands full under the striped roof.

Classic Studio

Trapeze

The flying trapeze: the flyer's swing keeps the bars, lets go near the top, turns somersaults through the air and lands in the catcher's hands on the downbeat, the net below and the spots following.

Classic Studio

The Juggler

A juggler close up in the spotlight, throwing real siteswap patterns on the beat: a calm cascade in the quiet, higher patterns as the song lifts and four objects on the drop, the throws' heights growing with their values.

Classic Studio

High Wire

The high wire seen along its length: the walker crosses once a phrase, a step a beat, wobbling with each step and steadied by the pole, stumbling on the drop and recovering, high above the ring.

Classic Studio

Grand Finale

Every act at once: the flyer and the catcher above, the wire walker, the ringmaster, tumblers, jugglers and the clown in the ring, spotlights sweeping and confetti falling, all of it bursting on the drop.
