What an awesome moody shader! The bar is high on shadertoy and there are some amazing shaders, but the aesthetic of this one is a rare gem. Here's the author's video of the shader, for anyone on a device that doesn't display the shader or play the audio: ▶ this video

Is there any description or attribution for the shader? Are the visuals an improved version of Martijn Steinrucken's "Drive Home" shader [1], or a different approach? This one does seem more dynamic with more detail, it looks pretty good, and I like how the big drops take out the small spray. [1] shader: [link] video: ▶ this video tutorial: [link]
