A little pressure. A living fracture. A sound that is only yours.
Headphones recommended.
Sound begins with your first touch.
Tap any point on the ice, or focus the surface and press Space. Each touch grows branching fractures. Adjust impact for longer cracks, thickness for shorter, deeper responses, and brittleness for more branches. Undo removes your last touch; Refreeze slowly heals the whole surface.
The studio layers filtered noise, low resonances and pentatonic crystal tones using synthesized audio. Lake ice has a spacious echo, thin ice sounds brighter and glacier ice resonates lower. These are artistic sound models, not field recordings. Begin at a comfortable volume; mute keeps the visual experience available.
Name your artwork and export a square or portrait PNG. Replay recreates the order and rhythm of your touches. Composer records a 15-second performance; Daily Fracture asks you to connect the five luminous points in eight touches. Share links contain up to 60 touches, not an uploaded recording.
This is an interactive artwork inspired by fracture propagation. Real ice responds to temperature, stress and structure in far more complex ways. Never use this simulation to judge whether outdoor ice is safe.
