Animated waves with AE text layers

Using my "text/glyph based animation" technic (see my previous animated shots from my "Glyph" series) to animate a wavy effects at the surface of an illustrated sea. I wanted to keep a "rounder stroke" look for all the lights and to have a kind of degressive scale with the far distance, which would have been impossible with standard shape layers. For this i simply used some expression selector based on lines and not characters to decrease the lines scale progressively, and some random selector to animate them.
