This art-and-science project translates scientific observations into electronic compositions, including an eight-piece program drawn from space datasets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.

For: Listeners curious about space science and sound
Worth noticing: The eight-track program names NASA, ESA and HelioWeb sources, with pieces running from 2:43 to 9:25.

Field notes

The homepage lays out an Observe, Translate, Compose sequence and supplies a short explanatory note for each listed track. Its examples make the translation concrete: the ACE piece assigns solar-wind speed to melody and particle temperatures to rhythmic textures, while the Voyager entry points to measurements from four days in late 1977.
