Automated Planetary Audio
Niche music with science and nerd-culture gravity
A nerd music project, built around story-first tracks. Every song starts with a human impulse: a scene, a line, a character arc, a research-life moment that won’t let go. Made by a scientist with more curiosity than musical training; so I use generative tools as my instrument. If AI-assisted music isn't your thing, that's completely fine. Everything here is clearly labeled. If you're curious, start with one track.
Themes: science topics, nerd culture, and the everyday research grind. Inspired by the vibe of PhD comics, classic workplace satire, RPG character arcs, and big sci-fi moods.
