The work is based on custom software that analyzes a close-up video of the sun broadcasted in real-time from NASA's SDO radio telescope
launched into space in 2010 aboard the Atlas 2 spacecraft. The software refines the frequencies of the sun's rays, its solar oscillations, and also,
the position of the sun relative to the Earth and composes music from that data while playing its sounds on a digital replica of a pipe organ.
(Built in 1989 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri AB for Piteå School of Music, Sweden).
The music is composed by a specialty neural network that was trained to compose music by reading notes of classical musical compositions.
The position of the sun relative to the Earth dictates the rhythm, and the frequencies produced by the sun dictate the pitch, thus creating
a kind of sundial that operates without announcing an actual "hour." As the training was automatic, so too the sound
is also produced automatically and without the need for a human body, and yet it is possible to find clear "human" traces in the object
and in the sound itself.
