Lightcurve is a real-time sonification of James Webb Space Telescope imagery. Each gantry sample reads RGB structure from the tile and plays a three-note phrase through a modal resonator and granular bed. The title borrows from astronomy, where a light curve is a plot of an object's brightness over time.
