Sonasphere - ‘a kinetically driven interactive music environment’ reminds me of the navigable soundscapes of Altzero, combined with the objects and connection types of ReacTable.
Sonasphere is a piece of software for Mac only by Nao Tokui and Karl Willis. The 3D space becomes a performance / composition environment, where each object is either a sound sample, effect or mixer. Connections can be made between each object with the mouse, and the sound is passed along the connection, through the effect to the mixer and sound output. The 3D co-ordinates of each object alter various properties, so due to the spring and collisions, the objects tend to move around autonomously, therefore making it more generative where the ‘performer’ is controlling the parameters. The program does use OSC (open sound control) though, so there is scope to link it up with PureData for composing sounds etc. Check out the videos here.
