ESA’s Earth Explorer Aeolus satellite was launched in August 2018 on a trailblazing mission to show how profiling Earth’s winds from space can improve weather forecasts and climate models. Marking the end of Aeolus’ remarkable mission, ESA worked with composer Jamie Perera to create a woodwind piece from data that spanned the lifetime of the satellite’s life in orbit around Earth.

In the resulting orchestral piece, every second is a day in the life of Aeolus, with data represented by the following instruments: 
Piccolo: Rayleigh Top Altitude (the tops of clouds)  
Flute: Rayleigh Observation Type (density of clouds)
Oboe: Rayleigh Reference Temperature (wind temperature)
Clarinet 1: Rayleigh Wind Velocity (wind velocity)
Clarinet 2: Rayleigh Wind Reference Pressure (air pressure)  
Bassoon/Bass Clarinet: Rayleigh Bottom Altitude (Earth’s surface)
Ambient Synth: Validity Flag 0 (Aeolus downtime)
You can also hear landmark events such as volcanic eruptions represented by drums, hurricanes represented by wind sound effects, and the Coronavirus pandemic represented by a pulsing synth.

Followed by ESA | Cosmic Synth Explorer | Music for Interstellar Minds

B I S – Back in Space (Marcus Seitz) is an electronic sound explorer who blends analog warmth with futuristic vision to dissolve the boundaries between music and the cosmos. Using a carefully curated selection of synthesizers – including the Sequential Trigon-6, Sequential Pro 3, Nordwave 2, Nord Lead 2X, Clavia Nordlead A1, and the iconic Korg Z1 – B I S crafts hypnotic sonic journeys that drift between galactic depth and emotional resonance.

His music is inspired by space travel, time dilation, and the dream of floating among the stars. Organic textures meet synthetic precision in a sonic language that moves effortlessly between ambient, space trance, and experimental electronica.

A unique milestone in his artistic journey: the European Space Agency (ESA) is among the select few who follow B I S on SoundCloud – a testament to the authenticity and depth of his cosmic vision.

Tracks like “Higher (Original Mix)” showcase his ability to build vast sonic landscapes with technical finesse and emotional clarity. B I S doesn’t just produce tracks – he charts acoustic star maps.

In addition to his music, Marcus Seitz designs VST skins for DiscoDSP, creatively bridging sound and visual aesthetics.

With every release, B I S invites listeners to leave the Earth behind – and return with open ears and an expanded mind.
