Twin resonance: a moire pattern from two overlapping families of rings
Twin resonance overlaps two identical sets of 24 concentric rings, placed side by side so that most of their area is shared, and tilts the second set by 8 degrees. Wherever the plum lines cross at shallow angles they form moire fringes, the curved bands that seem to ripple between the two centers. It is the most optical of the plum presets and wants a subject to match: sound, physics, festival line-ups.

Slide the centers together or apart
The distance between the two ring centers comes from Curvature. At 60 they overlap generously; at 100 the figure widens into a Venn-like pair, and at 0 both sets share one center so only the 8-degree tilt separates them, leaving a faint shimmer.
Tighten the interference
Moire gets finer as lines get denser. Raise Element count from 24 to 40 and drop Weight from 1.6 to 0.8 for tight, silky fringes on large formats. Each Complexity step adds 2 degrees of tilt to the second set, which also changes the fringe pattern.
FAQ
Will the moire in Twin resonance cause problems on screens?
It can if the artwork is scaled down a lot: very fine, closely spaced rings may shimmer or alias on low-density displays. Because the output is vector, the safest approach is to size it for its final placement and check it there. If it flickers, lower Element count or raise Weight until the rings are clearly separated.
