"Alash Kala" Visualiser

Visualiser for Kazakh-British composer and violinist Galya Bisengalieva’s single  “Alash- Kala” from her Album “Polygon”.
Polygon tells the tale of one of the darkest episodes in Kazakh history : the nuclear testing carried out by the soviet union at the Semipalatinsk Test Site located in northeast Kazakhstan (known as The Polygon).

For the visualiser, I decided to depict the repeated destruction of the site by looping disintegrating patterns. I also layered the disintegration with unnatural waters to illustrate the history of Lake Chagan
