Indoor thunder with Norns

I’m slowly getting my head around the Norns device that I built on my birthday. It works by running Lua scripts that talk to SuperCollider engines to make sounds. There’s also a sound sampler and sllcer and you interact with it via your browser. It’s great fun, but at the moment I’m using it to make the sound of rainfall thanks to the lovely Shower app. I’m trying to get my head around how such a short piece of code can produce something that sounds quite realistic. And very relaxing.
