+parallax-panels
+===============
+
+I'm prototyping an aesthetic for (eurorack) panels that relies on multiple layers of parallax visuals for dramatic effect.
+
+<mmm-embed path="picture" nolink></mmm-embed>
+
+parallax-viewer
+===============
+
+I built a little SVG viewer that stacks the layers and lets you view them in parallax.
+You can find it <mmm-link path="viewer">here</mmm-link>.
+
+And here's a little demonstration:
+
+<mmm-embed path="viewer/demo" nolink></mmm-embed>
