Orbital Hymns

Orbital Hymns is a live YouTube channel of original Halo-inspired ambient music — hour-long choral-and-drone mixes for focus, study, and sleep. Nothing about it is hand-made: a cron on Railway wakes the pipeline three mornings a week, Claude writes the track briefs, ElevenLabs Music composes the tracks, FFmpeg crossfades them into a mix and lays it under a slow concept-art loop without ever re-encoding a frame, and the finished video uploads itself with chapters, tags, and a thumbnail. Every note is original composition inspired by the atmosphere of the games — never game audio. The engine behind it is niche-agnostic: a second format, martial battle hymns, is already in production on the same rails.
