Welcome to Anukari. Created by Evan Mezeske, an Arizona-based former engineering lead at Google, it sounds completely bonkers, because it is.

Instead of playing back smooth recordings or drawing clean digital audio waves, Anukari is like a miniature musical video game. Users play with its virtual physics engine to translate physical violence against digital objects directly into sound.
The program is a chance to make music by building a virtual mesh of metal blocks and springs on your screen and then striking the creation with a virtual hammer – just to hear it go BOING.
It is a delightfully chaotic crossover between classical mechanics, computer graphics architecture and digital...
