One entitlement to the nine instruments announced across A Matter of Fact, Space Scares Me and Oh That’s Weird.

It is named for Carl Sagan because he made difficult science feel human, curious and worth sharing.

In all honestly though, I just think more things should be named after him. Thanks Carl

Set 1: Matter of Fact — synths, harmonics and ambient soundIncluded now

A Matter of Fact

Eigensynth atomic orbital instrument view
Included instrument

Eigensynth

Occupied electron states become a playable oscillator bank with collisions, orbital clouds and per-mode control.

Chemical Chords molecular orbital instrument view
Included instrument

Chemical Chords

Molecular orbital energies become reactive chords, arpeggios and collision-driven harmonic movement.

Crystal Lattice Lullabies crystal-mode instrument view
Included instrument

Crystal Lattice Lullabies

Crystal modes, temperature and defects become struck resonances, drones and evolving mineral textures.

Set 2: Space Scares Me — delays, reverbs and modulationIncluded later

Space Scares Me

Newton’s Celestial Sequencer coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

Newton’s Celestial Sequencer

Gravity, eccentricity and orbital crossings drive timing, pitch, velocity and modulation.

DJ Einstein’s Geodesic Radio coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

DJ Einstein’s Geodesic Radio

Curved-spacetime paths shape delay, pitch, lensing and spatial movement.

Pulsar Pumper coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

Pulsar Pumper

Pulsar spin, beam width and plasma dispersion drive rhythmic pumping and spectral delay.

Set 3: Oh That's Weird — drum machines, loopers and percussionIncluded later

Oh That’s Weird

Dirac the Drummer coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

Dirac the Drummer

Spinor phase, precession and 4π periodicity generate linked rhythms and shifting accents.

Feynman’s Bongos coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

Feynman’s Bongos

Interaction diagrams become a playable percussion patching system with collisions and feedback.

Planck’s Plink coming-soon artwork
Included instrument

Planck’s Plink

Quantised energy levels trigger discrete notes and percussion in a physics-led Plinko instrument.
