Dawesome's Kontrast?

Why have a static wavetable or static image underneath, even if the different-shapes 'playhead' is moving around when the actual wavetables/images, themselves, can move/mutate/evolve?
Lumen Video Synthesizer:

Video synthesizers have been around for a long time.
How about a 3D Morphing-Terrain synth, sort of like moving waves on an ocean (that can be controlled/modded/'splashed'), say, leveraging a video synthesizer, realtime 3D displacement-mapping, realtime AI gaming and/or biological mutation simulation algos to create/extract/run/mod the realtime waveforms, waveform contours and/or evolutions/morphs?

WRT the latter mention, some of you might think of Synplant 2, and while that's a good synth, I'm also thinking of something more realtime, where, as the waveform plays, it evolves by mutating as it runs and/or mating with other (also-mutating) waveforms thrown in. 'Audiosex'. ;)

As a very loosely-related aside to my previous comment, some years ago, I thought this was kind of cool-- sort of a clean wireless modular-- but it became abandonware:

(Elektronick Musick doesn't always seem to do the synths they demo justice, but anyway...)

But as inspiration, I liked the idea of different waveforms being easily/realtime intermorphable like in some synths, but (also) using genetic (controllable/moddable) algos where mutation-rates and sexual-selection for examples could be controlled/filtered/edited/etc. on the fly. Of course, Synplant has this DNA-strand edit section, but it doesn't appear realtime or based on true mutations/sexual-selections.

I am quite intrigued by devices like Oxi One and others that deliver a more hands-on approach to generative sequencing. Given its touch approach I am absolutely sure that this could easily be replicated by a screen oriented vst device. But from my understanding - that is not the case.

Such a "sound toy" would be nice.

 

Electromagnetic Field Synth

 

The fellow wants to replace politicians with AI (as per his video)...and his synth sounds like a shit snare.

 

Which synth?
Will be taking a look/listen later because I started falling asleep in my wee-hours-of-the-morning research, but if recalled the electromagnetic synth might be a simple proof-of-concept. Rome wasn't built in a day. Bear in mind too that Sumu and Zebra 3 took centuries, and even then.

Here's something I just found by accident (posting from 'hospital'):

Ouch.
Oh and remember, Lois Lane; no politics on here ("The fellow... replacing politicians..." ~ LL). Only sex (audio).

His synthetic sound to me sucks and hurts my ears...and Sumo and Zebra 3 took billions of years to come around.
