Fly Brain HubFly Lab (Ableton Live)
Apolotary (Bektur Ryskeldiev)
An Ableton Live extension for macOS that turns the 1,045-neuron MaleCNS motor subset (borrowed from DesktopFly's data) into MIDI: simulated flies bounce around a Three.js scene and their collisions, contacts and motor values trigger notes or modulate ambient parameters across five modes, including a Dark Lab mode with a small learnable 70-weight readout. The author is careful to separate the measured circuit from the composed harmony, describing the flies as particles dressed up as flies. Written up on Sonic Field on 2026-09-10.
