The Four of Us Are Dying

The Four of Us Are Dying is an audio-driven motion piece built to Nine Inch Nails, using Cinema 4D sound modifiers, X-Particles, and After Effects to translate the track into procedural movement and atmosphere.

The piece uses Nine Inch Nails' "The Four of Us Are Dying" as the audio source, allowing the track's tension, rhythm, and tonal shifts to drive the visual system.

Built with sound modifiers in Cinema 4D, X-Particles, and After Effects, the project treats audio as a force acting on form. Particle behavior, motion intensity, and composited atmosphere respond to the music, creating a reactive visual study that sits between procedural animation and music video language.
