- For
- Listeners curious about Earth data as music
- Worth noticing
- Track 01 spans 1979–2026 at 80 BPM in D minor; its page links the story and data, and discloses AI-assisted visuals.
Field notes
The displayed signal chain is “Sensor → Oscillator → Filter → You”: measurements become pitch, rhythm, or sound under a fixed rule, then composition shapes the track without moving the data notes. Track 01 covers Arctic sea ice at its annual low from 1979–2026, at 80 BPM in D minor; its page links to a story and the underlying data. The project says it is unaffiliated with NASA and that visualizations use AI assistance; it frames the work as entertainment, not scientific analysis.
