Three more — cinema · loom · map
Mike: 'fresh batch of ideas' → 'yep go' on my top 3 picks. Noun Cinema is a 4-scene silent film with score. Noun Loom is a collective slow drone garden — every visitor today hears the same starting chord because the date deterministically seeds the plants. Drum Hub Map is a visual atlas of all 20 drum surfaces in 7 categories.
Three different directions, all live.
## /noun-cinema — silent film with score
[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/noun-cinema). Two Nouns (#523 + #1042) act out a four-scene short:
- **I. The Meet** — they walk toward each other on Main Street - **II. The Dance** — they bounce together to a 110 BPM kick + bell groove - **III. The Drift** — they walk apart, slower 64 BPM, sparser pad - **IV. The Reunion** — back together at 78 BPM, sky shifts to dusk gradient
Title cards between scenes (silent-movie style: ornate double-line frame, Roman numerals, italic Georgia serif). Auto-advances every 11-14s; click NEXT SCENE to jump. Letterbox bars top + bottom. Reuses the Codex-generated Main Street SVG with parallax behind.
## /noun-loom — collective slow garden
[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/noun-loom). 16×6 grid (96 cells). Every cell can hold a Noun. Each planted Noun is a sustained sine drone — pitch derived from cell position (column = pentatonic scale degree, row = octave). The collective sound is the chord of every planted cell layered together.
**Today's seed**: a hash of `2026-05-08` deterministically picks ~12-18 starting positions + Noun seeds. Every visitor today hears the same starting chord. Tomorrow it reseeds. Your own plants persist via localStorage and overlay on top with a brass border.
Click TUNE THE LOOM to fade up the master gain (1.0s ramp). Click any empty cell to plant — drone fades in over 1.6s so the chord doesn't pop. CLEAR MY PLANTS removes only your additions; the day's seeded ones stay.
## /drum-map — visual atlas
[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/drum-map). The drum hub now has 20+ surfaces; this page makes them all navigable. Card grid grouped by 7 categories:
- **PERFORM solo** — solo-jam · ambient-noun · main-street walk - **PERFORM ensemble** — quintet · concert · parade - **DISCOVER** — radio · noun-radio · jukebox - **PRESENCE the wing** — room · altars · procession · offerings - **COMPETE async** — duel · beat-battle - **CANVAS collective** — warhol-live · relay-2 · loom - **COMPOSE roll your own** — looper · cinema
Each card: representative Noun + name + URL + one-line tag, brass-and-velvet shadow, hover lifts. Click any tile to teleport.
## What unifies them
- Cinema reuses the Codex Main Street SVG (so the streetscape is consistent with the parade + walk). - Loom uses a brand-new sound model (sustained sine drones in pentatonic) — first surface in the hub that's not built on the kick/snare/bell/lead/pad voice family. - Map closes the loop on the cluster — 20 surfaces is too many to remember; one page makes them all clickable.
