Each bar is a live layer of the mix — press play and move around the planet to watch the wind, swell, quakes and space weather reshape the sound.

How it works

Planet FM is an infinite ambient station with no recordings — every sound is synthesised live in your browser and scored by real planetary telemetry:

  • Ocean swell (Open-Meteo Marine) sets the slow, breathing pads, rolling them open and closed like waves.
  • Local temperature (Open-Meteo) tints those pads — polar air is dark and muffled, the tropics bright and open.
  • Your local wind & rain (Open-Meteo) become the texture — the wind gusts, swelling and falling away.
  • Local daytime (Open-Meteo) wakes a chorus of birds — they hush at night.
  • Every real earthquake (USGS) rolls through as distant sub-bass.
  • Space weather (NOAA SWPC) brightens or darkens the whole mix.

Move anywhere on Earth to hear that place. Tap a glowing point to see the quake behind the bass. Nothing is stored; audio starts only when you press play.
