Pane — a cracked black pane that shatters on the drop

On screen

What Pane shows

Pane makes the screen a large sheet of black glass, cracked from its centre into irregular cells with neon edges. On every beat, a pulse of light leaves the impact point and runs along the cracks to the edges; on every bar, new cracks draw themselves before your eyes. The highs make the small cracks flicker, the bass makes the big ones breathe.

When the drop hits, the pane bursts: every shard flies off in three dimensions, spins and catches the glint of a turning spotlight while the camera pulls back through the rain of glass. Then everything comes back to close on a new pane, in a white flash. Without a drop, a pane lives twenty seconds before it bursts. For techno, bass music, big room and hardstyle.
