YAHWEH’S CIRCUS

Interactive world (ChuGL) — Music Sequencer — 2025

Role: Creator · Tools: ChuGL, ChucK · Format: Interactive environment

LOGLINE

A surreal, “holy carnival” where prayers become notes that can be dropped inside the circus to compose songs. Part ritual, part playground.

WHAT IT IS

Yahweh’s Circus is an interactive world which acts as a 3D sequencer. The player navigates the circus and places notes within the space to sequence.

The project explores how interface, spectacle, and narrative can merge into a playable environment—and how story can be incorporated into an otherwise functional tool.

MOTIVATION

I wanted the “tool” to feel like a place: composition as movement, rhythm as architecture, and sound design as atmosphere—so that making music becomes a kind of wandering ritual.

The aim is to collapse interface into worldbuilding: the sequencer isn’t a panel you open, it’s the carnival itself.
