Zewp
ThoughtStorms Wiki
Part cosmic drone machine! Part divination ritual! Part flea circus!
Zewp! is the "anti-Gbloink!"
Whereas Gbloink! is about bouncing, Zewp! is about swerving. Gbloink! favours percussive, staccato sounds. Zewp! has continuous drones. Gbloink!'s play area is innocent, a field of colourful and abstract blocks; Zewp!'s stark black and white, and meaning-laden with esoteric symbols.
Nevertheless, the two share the basic premise : a swarm creates music in a space which is continuously adjusted and reconfigured by the user. It is the interaction of the swarm and the space which gives rise to the specifics of the music.
