His 'amorphoscapes' are a meta-series of reactive Director environments, each with its own vibe. One series is warm and retro. Another series is industrial and futuristic. Each series contains multiple pieces, and each piece contains multiple variations. Kind of like a Bach fugue illustrated by Kandinsky in Lingo. - Curt Cloninger
