Signals from the quiet distance
Nocturnal electronic songs for late-night roads, fading headlights, and stubborn hope
How it feels
Nocturnal, slow-burn electronic melancholy
Analog warmth, distant signals, and quiet loops
Minimal, mantra-like vocals that stay with you
Don't Break Down
New Single
Set on an empty road at fading light, ‘Don’t Break Down’ turns motion into survival.
With its spare lyrics and repeating mantra, the song follows a fragile journey where each mile forward matters more than any destination.

Don't Break Down (Dec 5th, 2025)
It follows a driver talking to an old car the way you talk to someone you love : half-joking, half-desperate. Beneath the lofi pulses and soft vocals is a story about holding on when everything feels one malfunction away from collapsing.

Strange Autumn (Nov 28th, 2025)
“Strange Autumn” turns a few simple words into a melancholic loop of color and air: a dusk-textured piece about longing, slow change, and the subtle beauty of a world in transition.

Chant of Becoming (Oct 29th, 2025)
“Chant of Becoming” is a slow-burning invocation : a whispered mantra about shedding old versions of yourself. It moves like a tide of synth and breath, carrying you toward the person you’re meant to be.
About the Project
Searching for Satellites is a dusk-born electronic project, weaving minimal lyrics with quiet, atmospheric soundscapes.
Created by Rafael del Castillo with vocals by Penelope Brair, these songs live where late-night drives, hopeful people that should know better, and distant signals meet.
By day, Rafael works in travel and tech, by night he turns road-movie feelings into sound.
It’s music for people in motion — physically or emotionally — looking for something just out of reach.

Searching for Satellites - Take me down (Official Video)

Take Me Down is a cinematic downtempo / trip-hop track about letting go and sinking into the moment. Forests at dusk, rain on glass, a lonely truck on a foggy road, and Penelope at the end of it all. The video follows that feeling like a night drive through your own memory: autumn forests seen from the ground up, leaves drifting in slow motion, a lonely truck idling on a foggy road at dusk, light ripples on dark water, analog studio details: a hand on the mic stand, glowing VU meters, rain on
