Avonlea

cover

A tranquil ambient sketch for norns.
Inspired by the Lake of Shining Waters in Anne of Green Gables.

"...as if the water were past all modes and tenses of emotion..."

Concept

Avonlea captures the stillness of a night lake,
where moonlight and weather drift softly from
Prince Edward Island into a quiet, glowing box.

Features

  • Moon and weather shape tone and light
  • Glints, stars, and reeds respond to wind
  • Calm invites soft melody; storms quiet it
  • Shooting stars cross clear skies

Controls

  • E1: Wind
  • E2: Depth
  • E3: Glint
  • K2: Cycle weather
  • K3: Toggle moon info display

Install

;install https://github.com/kurogedelic/avonlea
