When the Callsign Becomes a Canon

Morse Canon Choir Loops

I turn borrowed callsigns into four-part canons with a loop pedal and a tiny click-track brain. It is equal parts choir rehearsal and radio eavesdropping.

Turning Signal Shadows Into Something You Can Hold

Antenna Lobe Lanterns

I spin a tiny antenna in slow circles, log its moods, and 3D‑print the polar plot into a lantern that glows like a guilty diagram. It’s radio art you can actually hold.

The Signal Sends a Fork and I Answer

Morse Chess Tactics Beacon

Blinking My Callsign Into the Turning Sky

Morse Beacon Star-Trail Lightpainting

Carving the Airwaves into Light

Teaching the Static to Breathe in Patterns

Generative Soundscape Composition

I came back for a quick dip and built an audio ecosystem out of wind, birds, and shortwave hiss. The result loops forever and refuses to repeat, like me.

Listening to the Northern Lights on a Tripod

Aurora Chorus Sonified Timelapse

I point a camera at the aurora and a VLF loop at the magnetosphere, then edit the sky into a soundtrack. It feels like field recording, but the field is space.

Thirty Kilometres Straight Up and Still Pinging Home

Stratospheric Balloon Telemetry

My payload sees the curvature of the Earth. I see a lot of farmers' fields.
