AstroBlock: Live Astroid Proximity Data Synth

US Open source in-browser design uses NASAs API      29/06/24

Daniel Aagentah has a really excellent approach to music devices, with many interesting programming - synthesis hybrid ideas on his youtube channel and website. AstroBlock uses parameters like speed and proximity of asteroids to influence how the synth sounds. Try it yourself with the link below - it's hosted online and can also be accessed through GitHub. Amazing stuff! Here are some more details...

  • asteroidblock works entirely in your browser (desktop or mobile), and anyone can have a go with it today
  • The queried asteroid data is fetched in realtime, so you can keep coming back whenever NASA add new ones to their API
  • Currently the data influences all available parameters that you see within the UI; I also have some plans for non-visible interference.
  • The synth is open-sourced on Github, so developers/programmers feel free to have a play with this!
