Aerial is a generative sound sculpture which produces harmonic tones by resonating 8 tuned aluminium tubes. The way the tubes are played can be changed to suit its environment. Currently I am experimenting with data mining techniques, using data from the web to play Aerial's tubes. The data which I am currently working with is the live location of four satellites in orbit.

Aerial is completely modular with the option to change each tube to alter the tuning of the instrument.

I will be creating a detailed blog post regarding Aerial's 'brain' soon.
