The spring panorama has winter underneath it: audio-driven temporal layering
Two panoramas, identical dimensions, stacked front-to-back. The spring layer carries a radial cutout whose radius is driven by bass amplitude. When bass hits, winter shows through. The background is not a backdrop — it is a temporal device indexed to audio rather than time.
The bass mask belongs on the front layer: that's what turns the background into a different season
Moving the radial bass mask from a dark overlay to the front panorama layer changes what the effect communicates. Previously the bass revealed texture through a luminosity window. Here it cuts a hole in spring to show winter behind it — a temporal portal, not an illumination effect.
The bass portal doubled as a scene swap. The hole geometry already owned the reveal.
A bass-driven radial mask opens a hole in a spring panorama to reveal winter behind it. When the track hits its midpoint, the same mask — scaled to frame-covering size — swaps the two scenes without a cut. The reveal mechanism was already running from frame one.
Spring became winter on the bass hit. That was the effect that mattered.
Three reactive effects were already live — bloom, particles, waveform — and the visualiser still read as a showcase. The portal changed that: a bass-driven radial mask cuts from spring into winter, and reactive opacity does something reactive motion cannot.
