[sdiy] Environmental, Concept, and "Subscription Modules"

There was a series of recordings called 'Symphonies of the Planets' (IIRC) that was generated from data sent back from the Voyager space probes - magnetic fields of the planets, solar winds, and other stuff.

That's not too different from Charles Dodge's "Earths Magnetic Field",
1970:

The problem with WALL STREET is that the stock market probably won't
be open when you play a gig.  Best to use weather data.
