Whether you’re here for the music or just to explore the technology, you can trust that every element has been built with care and love. Key Features: • Commercial‑free: There’s no advertising, user tracking, or monetisation. We don't access your data. We don't sell you, or sell to you. • Curated: Enjoy a huge library of hand-selected tracks that reflects a deep love of great music. • Cutting-edge: Built on a bespoke/unique system that analyses how each song is structured, then uses that data to sequence and blend each track.

About

Synesthesia Synth

An experimental audio-visual instrument that allows users to sculpt evolving spatial audio by manipulating floating capsules. Position, rotation, and pulse changes affect tone, texture, and synchronized particle generation. It's a visual synthesizer, not a game.

Read full description

Synthaestesia is a free experimental audio-visual instrument. Three capsules float in space. Every contraction produces sound. Move them, rotate them, reshape their pulse — and sculpt evolving spatial audio. Position changes tone. Rotation alters texture. Delay generates synchronized particles. This is not a game. It’s a spatial synth you can see.
