The vision behind the music.
Meet the man behind Cosmic Guitar.
Russell Stoneback created Cosmic Guitar with the idea of converting high-frequency electromagnetic waves into music. Learn about his creation and read about the story of his invention.
The Cosmic Guitar App
Make music, not sounds.
The Cosmic Guitar, by Cosmic Studio, is the first in a new class of musical instruments built on the resonance of high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The Cosmic Guitar physically makes music, but not sounds, since our ears can’t hear the electromagnetic waves it makes. The app plugin modifies input music using measurements of the Cosmic Guitar, as well the physics of electromagnetic wave interactions between a coaxial cable and Cosmic Guitar, to translate Cosmic Guitar behaviors into music we can actually hear. Using the Cosmic Guitar App you can vary the physical properties of either the cable or guitar using the knobs to create the perfect instrument tone for your music.

Cosmic Art
A Universe of Expressions
Cosmic Art reframes the plasma physics in the Earth’s magnetic field as art. Each image is the direct result of calculations from Orthogonal Magnetic Multipole Basis Vectors (OMMBV), science software invented by Dr. Russell Stoneback. OMMBV provides our first accurate window into plasma-neutral interactions for complex magnetic fields and is used by the Ionospheric Connection (ICON) Explorer and the Constellation of Satellites for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC-2) satellite missions.
All images have been calculated at high resolution and use colors that ensure accurate and accessible representations of the underlying physics. While understanding the complexity of ion-neutral interactions typically requires years of math, physics, and programming expertise, this artwork provides visual insights on near-Earth plasma physics without the studying.
