11.th0nk3000

The cult Mac OS 9 granular app, reverse-engineered and back.

th0nk3000 is a reverse-engineered recreation of Audio Ease's 1996 Mac OS 9 app Th0nk. It takes any sample, breaks it into grains and collides them into new, unpredictable material.

It runs as a standalone app or as a plug-in, with density, pitch, pan and source lanes and a seed you can lock.

“Nobody knows what happens next. Not even us.”

  • _ Audio Ease Th0nk, 1996
  • _ Granular collider
  • _ 7 grain parameters scored over 20 minutes
  • _ Standalone app + plug-in, live input
