Another interesting project which uses very esoteric scientific crapola 
is the Spectroscopic Toolkit, by [part-time Schreck Ensemble 
collaborator, if I remember correct?] Pieter Suurmond:

http://www.hku.nl/~pieter/SOFT/ST/html/

Pieter is intested in the atomic data of primary elements, particularly 
metals, and has evolved an incredibly complex microtonal and granular 
synthesis system around this data. Probably more interesting to read 
about than to play with, however---each track takes several days to 
render!!!!
