For at least seven hundred years, the massive oak tree in what is now Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, gave its shade to countless people and has stood as a lasting symbol and meeting place for generations of Cossacks.

My Mennonite ancestors who lived nearby for about two centuries knew it as the Chortitza oak. Seedlings taken from its acorns grow in many places in our diaspora, including my hometown. Even though the beloved old tree is now dry and dead, I hope one day to see it myself.

Creating your Composite Generator

Use a laptop or desktop computer, as you will be asked to use keyboard shortcuts.

To create your custom composite generator, browse the site for slider contents: open any generator on myNoise, and select the sliders you want to use in your custom set by 'zeroing' all others, then hit [c] to collect all active sliders into a hidden stack. Move to a next generator and repeat the process until you have accumulated 10 sliders. Now hit [shift+c] to render your custom composite generator. At any point, press [x+c] to clear the hidden stack.
