Aphysical Unmodeling Instrument rethinks a description and a generation of sound and music through re-physicalization of Whirlwind, a targetless-physical model. Whirlwind is a combined and impossible physical model of 3 wind instruments; a trumpet, flute and clarinet. Our work reimplements the computational elements of Whirlwind with physical objects such as a delay with the sound propagation and a resonator with the Helmholtz resonator. The acts of a composition, a creation of instruments or a installation and otherwise a performance are parallelized in our work. The notion of the digital sound is expanded out of the computer by re-physicalizing a computational model.
