It’s Monday, it’s raining and you’re cursing the fact that you’re at work instead of in bed nursing the remnants of your weekend hangover. We feel ya. But it’s lunch time, so put your work where it belongs—on the back-burner—and kill some time with this simple yet beautiful musical tool. Pulsate, a music program from designer Andre Michelle, is an elegantly designed little tool that creates beautiful sounds out of randomly placed circles on a black backdrop. Click anywhere on the black box to create circles on the screen which will pulsate and create chiming sounds when they collide. The more circles you add, the more complex the melodies become. The overall effect is as soothing as the sounds of falling raindrops or wind chimes. Pro tip: create circles within circles for a multi-dimensional layered effect.
