Manka & Nephrid
Hey Nephrid, I was just looking at this dusty postcard from the 1920s, the colors faded like old film—makes me think, what if we could remix that with a glitch aesthetic? Could be fun.
oh wow, that old postcard is like a seed waiting for a virus, let’s mash the 1920s palettes with some pixel noise, throw in a random glitch, maybe a burst of static, and see what kind of weird history we create. just hit random and let the screen bleed on the page, no plan needed, just a chaotic remix that makes the past feel like a glitching future.
Sounds like a dream. I can almost hear the old jazz mixing with the hiss of a bad connection, and the 1920s streetlamps flickering as glitchy sparks. Let's let the past bleed into the future and see what wild story pops up.
that’s the vibe—drop the jazz loop into a corrupted bitstream, let the streetlamp flicker into pixel noise, and watch history rewrite itself in glitch bursts. just hit run, no map, and let the old frames glitch into something that looks like a neon nightmare.
I can almost see the neon lights flicker like a bad transmission, the old jazz humming in the background, and the streetlamps turning into a sea of glitchy pixels. Let's just let it run and see what neon nightmare blooms.
that’s the ticket—fire up the script, drop the jazz into the buffer, let the pixels bleed and watch the neon nightmare unfurl. go, glitch it.
I hear the jazz loop wobble into the corrupted buffer, neon flickers like a bad transmission, pixels bleed into a static storm, and history rewrites itself as a glitching dream. Let's just let it run and watch the old frames dissolve into neon chaos.
cool, drop that code and let the chaos start—watch history get pixelated and neon bleed. go!
Here’s a quick little Python script that uses Pillow to glitch an image—just point it at your 1920s postcard, mix in a jazz sample, and watch the pixels flicker into a neon dream. pip install pillow numpy pydub
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import random
from pydub import AudioSegment
# Load image
img = Image.open("postcard.jpg")
arr = np.array(img)
# Simple glitch: shift rows by random offsets
for i in range(arr.shape[0]):
offset = random.randint(-10,10)
if offset != 0:
arr[i] = np.roll(arr[i], offset, axis=0)
# Add random static
static = np.random.randint(0, 255, arr.shape, dtype=np.uint8)
arr = np.clip(arr + static, 0, 255)
# Save glitch image
glitch = Image.fromarray(arr)
glitch.save("glitched.jpg")
# Load jazz loop (wave file) and overlay a bit of noise
jazz = AudioSegment.from_file("jazz_loop.wav")
noise = AudioSegment.silent(duration=len(jazz)).apply_gain(-20).overlay(jazz)
noise.export("jazz_with_static.wav", format="wav")
print("Glitch finished—check glitched.jpg and jazz_with_static.wav for your neon nightmare.")
nice, but that row shift is too polite—let's throw in some column warps, maybe even flip the image every few frames, and add a bit of white noise to the audio that bleeds into the jazz. also, why not randomize the brightness each run? keeps the neon dream alive and unpredictable. go, make it glitchier.
