This kangaroo-themed program allows the user to create their own music and sound effects, effectively from scratch. There are two variants of the program: Kangas Sound Editor which requires MySQL for its database, and Kangas Sound Editor QI which does not (it uses an internal database - HSQLDB - instead). Kangas Sound Editor (QI) uses a system of boxes or cells, which are placed by the user onto a timeline using drag-and-drop, and which represent entities such as chords, repetition, and individual sounds or notes. The program's database allows the user to create and store harmonics, used for constructing melodic instruments, and anti-harmonics, which are used for constructing percussion instruments. Users can collaborate with and build on the work of others via an XML import/export facility.

Nowadays the idea of a music of the spheres, or a cosmic music that descends from the planets seems more like poetic philosophy than anything scientific. However, when the scientist Kepler discovered special principles about planetary motion, he also reconsidered the music. Apparently his observance of a harmonic law of planetary motion was reason for him to propose a computable system of pitch and harmony deriving from angular velocity. The purpose of the programming project is as a tool to examine his system. With Java 2, it provides an open-source solution for listening to harmonies so generated by planetary motion. This program can run on any computer provided with a Java Virtual Machine (Rev 1.5 or greater). JAVA 2, system independent. Purpose:to encourage research in harmony in astronomy, math and music. Obstacles:math, DSP/synthesis, networks, astronomy. Features:audio, database, graphics Technologies: Telnet, .WAV audio, oggvorbis, other audio

jVSTwRapper allows you to develop VST (2.4), Audio Unit (AU) and LADSPA compatible audio plugins and virtual instruments plus user interfaces (Swing) with the Java programming language on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. 5 demo plugins (+src) are included.

Etheric Synthesizer (EtherSynth) is a theremin-like synthesizer application for Android platform, which allow you to play otherworldly melody by swiping finger on the screen. Though It does not closely imitate a real theremin as Etheric Synthesizer uses only one finger to play. It currently supports monophonic note playing with configurable waveform, frequency scale, control area, and control orientation. Basic recording function is also included (WAVE format). Etheric Synthesizer works on Android version 2.0 and above.

Rubato Composer is a music software based on the concepts and models of mathematical music theory and equally suited for music composition, analysis, performance, and logical or geometric operations.

SINE Isochronic Entrainer is a Free and Open Source Brainwave Entrainment application for PC, Android, and HTML5. Brainwave Entrainment is the practice of using sounds, visual stimuli or even electromagnetic fields to alter the frequency of brainwaves. It can be done for several reasons: people with insomnia can take great benefit from it, but it can also be used to improve your attention span, and even simulate the effects of some recreational drugs. The effect is not permanent, and fades away in less than a minute after the stimuli is removed. Isochronic tones are a commonly used aural stimuli for Brainwave Entrainment, consisting of short pulses of a sine wave, varying in frequency. Unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones can be played on speakers. The Player supports touchscreens and high resolution displays. Includes a graphical editor for making presets, with a manual.

xSonify is a Java-based sonification data analysis prototype for displaying science data as sounds, with an emphasis on supporting visually-impaired researchers.

Global Consciousness Project uses hardware "random" number generators and finds patterns between that and major world events. This Java applet will run on their webpage and translate that data to music-like audio. Or for general audio synthesizing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolves musical instruments you play with the mouse from small blocks of Java code that operate on numbers, each block designed to keep all numbers in range -1 to 1 if they started in that range, and combinations of these evolved codes running 44100 times per second for high quality 44.1 khz audio. You can also write the Java code into its window. Uses Javassist internal compiler on the new Java code assembled by renaming variables to overlap eachother and reordering, copying, and removing blocks of code. Listen to the recorded music in files section of sourceforge or try it for yourself. This branched into my other projects: GigaLineCompile, JSelfModify, JSoundCard, and Human AI Net as I got more into the AI and systems side of things and explored vision research as a better user interface to network minds together through the Internet. Someday I will bring it all together in a shared space on the Internet.
