STEP//SONG

A decade of footsteps and songs on one clock. Start with the whole span, then drill down to a fortnight, a day, and the single track playing during a given hour of walking.

Appalachian Trail

Elevation profile Katahdin → Springer Mountain · glow = what was playing

Climb and descent by day from the profile · white tick = phone-measured gain

Soundtrack by terrain hours on the move

The phone only counts flights climbed, never descended, so the profile does the rest: each hour's distance moves you along the real trail (Katahdin to Springer), and the trail's elevation at that point gives the climb and descent. Positions are approximate where the phone was off. Capture compares what the phone recorded against official totals; town walking adds some distance back, so distance capture is an upper bound. Profile data: every-mile.
