Atelier Æther · celestial light, arranged to order
We compose
skies.
Aurora, dusk and meteor, designed for a single evening. The sky above this page is alive: scroll, and we will retune it for you.
The sky is the oldest canvas. We only borrow it for an evening.
Selected commissions · 2023 to 2026
Five skies, retuned live as you pass through them.

First Light, Alpine
The Dolomites
A dawn rehearsed twice and performed once, for an audience of two and a dog.
How a sky is made
Three movements.
01
Listen
Every sky begins with a conversation: the occasion, the hour, the mood you want the horizon to hold.
02
Score
We write the sky as a score: color voicings, the tempo of the light, where the eye should rest.
03
Conduct
On the night itself we conduct in real time, bending the curtains until the sky sits exactly right.
The atelier
We are a small practice of light-composers, meteorologists and one retired planetarium projectionist. We take on six skies a year, never two alike.
