Lunar New Year

A lantern-lit festival street for the new year: red lanterns that sway with the bass, plum blossom, paper-cuts, firecrackers and silk.

Launch modes

Lantern Street mode

Lantern Street

A festival street at night under strings of red lanterns: the near string is the spectrum, the bass swings it, the big centre lantern flares on the beat and each new section lights another string down the street.

Plum Blossom mode

Plum Blossom

A plum branch in flower against far lantern light: every blossom opens with its own band, the bass sways the branch, a blossom bursts with gold pollen on the beat and each section opens more buds.

Paper-Cut mode

Paper-Cut

A hanging red paper-cut medallion, lit from behind: its ring of paper petals is a radial spectrum, the bass swings it on its cord and each section unfolds another ring of cuts.

Firecracker String mode

Firecracker String

A long string of red firecrackers, made for vertical video: each pair of crackers shakes with its band and every beat pops the next one up the string in a small gold burst.

Silk Ribbon mode

Silk Ribbon

Red, gold and plum silk ribbons flowing with the waveform, their width swelling band by band, with a gold shimmer where they cross on the beat.

Moon Gate mode

Moon Gate

A round garden gateway framing your cover art in a lantern-lit wall: its rim of tiles is a circular spectrum, mirrored in the wet stones below, lanterns sway at its sides with the bass and a gold ripple runs round the rim on the beat.
