Éliane Radigue has spoken about her long drone compositions as something close to memory — the sound of aircraft over Nice during her childhood, a continuous presence overhead that shaped her relationship with time and listening.
My father spent decades tracking satellites. Not as metaphor — he had the antennas, the software, the patience. He would decode weather satellite signals and read the Earth from orbit, a few hundred kilometers up. He died in 2025.
void sky works with real orbital data. Every point of light is a satellite currently crossing the sky above your GPS position, computed in real time. Elevation drives amplitude and resonance. Azimuth drives spatial position. What passes behind you is filtered — attenuated, as if heard through the ground. When two trajectories converge, they crackle.
Nothing is composed in advance. The sky at this moment is the score.
You can set any location in the world, and capture the current state as an image at any moment.
In memory of my Dad, Bernard Bayle (1949–2025)
