LISTEN: ABOVE

an instrument the sky plays

Type anywhere on Earth and hear its sky. The stars, the planets, the sun and the weather are real, computed for that place at this second. Longitude sets the key. Latitude sets the mode. The sun above that place sets the palette, the mood, and a slow binaural pulse: deep and dark at night, bright and open at noon.

Aircraft, satellites and the ISS are modeled for now. Best on headphones. Give it a minute to drift.

Stars Planets Aircraft Satellites ISS

Live & real: the target's star field, planet positions (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), sun position, and current weather, computed for this second. Modeled: aircraft, satellites, ISS. Key from longitude, mode from latitude. The sun above the place you're listening to sets the palette, the mood, and the binaural pulse: deep night breathes at ~3.5 Hz (theta/delta), twilight near 6–9 Hz (alpha), daylight ~14 Hz (low beta). Binaural needs headphones and makes no medical claims — it's a mood layer.
