Hi, I’m Tom.
I’m a musician, a scientist, and an incurable nerd. I’ve spent years thinking in models, playing guitar, pulling apart synths, and wondering why “physics is music” usually stops at the metaphor.

inside the equations.
“Everyone always says physics is music and music is physics—but what does that actually sound like?”
Particle Based Physics VST Plugins and Standalone Synth PacksMake the maths audible.
Off Shell Instruments turns real physical structures—modes, eigenstates, coupling, phase and emergence—into expressive sound engines without pretending the musical mapping is the physics.
Beautiful, playable, honest.
Every instrument should work as music first, expose the model underneath, and label exactly where physical equations end and sonification begins.
PARTICLE GUITAR COLLECTIONThree equations.
Three equations.
Three instruments.
Focused VST and standalone synths built from atomic eigenstates, molecular orbitals, and interacting fields. Each release is planned at US$5, or get all three for US$10.
Atomic Eigenstate Synth
Turns an atom’s occupied subshells and transition structure into tuned oscillator voices, chords and physical subharmonics.
Molecular Orbital Synth
Builds bonding and antibonding voices from an LCAO Hamiltonian, then makes collision energy move audibly through atom-grouped orbital channels.
Field Interaction Synth
A wavepacket drone whose pitch and tone respond directly to mediator forces and energy transfer in the simulated field equations.
PARTICLE GUITAR · COMPLETE PACKAll three synths · US$10
VST plug-ins plus standalone versions when the release builds are ready.
These browser demos deliberately expose the full development workbench. Release instruments will each focus on one curated atom, molecule, or field interaction.
