Ljómi Systems

Nature to sound, in real time

Nature’s most beautiful visual,now in stereo

We build computer vision systems that watch the aurora, forests, and anything else that moves, and play what they see as standard MIDI. It goes straight into your DAW, hardware synth, or modular rig. Nothing simulated, no ecosystem to buy into.
