What Wire Pyramid does

Two square-based wire pyramids flank the centre, left and right, spinning round the vertical while tipped toward the viewer, so the apex circles and the base swings through a turning square. A slow nod keeps the tilt changing. With eight edges it's the sparsest solid in the set, lighter on the frame than the cube or diamond. Size sets scale, Move the spin.

Using Wire Pyramid

Where it works
Echoes triangle and eye-in-pyramid artwork, so it fits psytrance or occult-styled cover art and logo stings built on a triangle. Left and right placement brackets a centred subject without covering it.
With the music
There's no built-in audio response. B3 (bass body) on Size swells the pyramids with the bassline, and a free-running LFO on Hue drifts them away from the default yellow.
Starting point
Size three-quarters, Move a quarter, Hue yellow, Object placement on Left and right, flanking a centred logo.
