Sound tools built from how we actually hear.
Gridlogic Studios makes instruments and software from real hearing science. Each tool starts in the lab at CymaticBridge, where I build machines that listen through a model of the human ear, and ends up as something you can play.
What I'm building
One sound engine, written once, becomes firmware for Eurorack, a plugin for your DAW and a voice in the Hearing Machine.
Corti
A digital voice built the way the ear hears: 64 partials laid out on the cochlea's own frequency map. Shape where the ear is excited and Corti builds the sound. Vowels, bells, metal, shimmering pads, and resynthesis of anything you feed it.
Hear it →The Hearing Machine
A modular studio that runs in your browser: synth voices, effects, a sampler, a sequencer and a live view of how a model cochlea hears your music.
Open it →Cochlea analyser
See your mix the way a human ear does: which places along the cochlea each sound excites, where parts mask each other, and what the ear really resolves.
Ear resynth
Corti's resynthesis as an effect: re-sing any track through 64 tuned partials, freeze a moment into a chord, or play a drum loop as a melody.
Built on real hearing research
At CymaticBridge I train AIs to listen through a model of the human ear and race them against the standard approach, in public. What works there becomes the heart of these instruments: the cochlea's frequency map, its resonances, the way the brainstem picks out timing and the starts of sounds.
Made to last
- One portable engine for hardware, plugins and the web
- Original code, designed and built by me
- Free updates for every buyer
- Licence keys that stay out of the way
