Ember Spiral is a hypnotic tunnel of glowing chambers: twisted checkered rings, rings of halftone dots, whirls of squares and ring sectors. Everything it passes burns into the picture, so the trails keep glowing like embers.

The loop above is a silent 13-second excerpt of a 1080p Studio export. In the Studio, where this scene is called Glutspirale, it moves to your own track.
How it reacts to your music
- Loudness, bass and beat together drive the flight: loud, kick-heavy passages race through the tunnel, quiet ones drift.
- Bass lifts and narrows the tunnel, brightens its core and swells the rings of dots.
- Kicks and beats give the spiral a spin kick on about every third beat, send a shock wave through it now and then and, on very strong beats, sometimes flip its colors for a flash. Color fringes and brightness rise with each beat.
- The mids, where voices, leads and chords sit, turn the spiral and its sectors faster.
- The highs spin the halo ring faster and make the picture flicker and melt.
Music that suits it
Driving, continuous music with a strong kick and busy mids: trance, techno, psytrance or hard dance. The louder and denser the track, the faster the tunnel runs; a long build-up feels like acceleration.
What it does on its own
The palette and episodes such as the halo follow the scene’s own schedule, not the song.
