The Three Body Solution
An instrument that turns the changing distances and movements of three simulated gravitational bodies into three musical voices, accompanied by a planetary visualisation.
2026–ongoing
The same simulation is available as a standalone application and as Audio Unit and VST3 plug-ins for music software. Given the same starting conditions and inputs, it produces the same musical result. The work also displays procedural planets, trajectories and a star field, making the relationship between simulated motion and musical behaviour visible.
The downloadable version for Apple silicon Macs is an early alpha release, and compatibility testing with music-production software is still in progress. It sends MIDI to other instruments, which produce the sound.
