A downloadable art tool for Windows and macOS

A Diary of Whispered Truths is an idiosyncractic drawing tool/musical instrument, inspired by Andi McClure and Michael Brough's BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS. It incorporates multiple visual effects and drawing tools with a complex chain of synthesizers and audio effects to create something strange and unique.

In addition to realtime control via keyboard and mouse, Whispered Truths can also read commands from a text file, meaning it can be used to turn literature (or any kind of text) into abstract audiovisual art.

Exhibited at GameCity 2014 together with a custom controller (see below for some early footage of the controller).
