Stillness · Behind the Layers

Water, wind, a warm sound field, a sparse bowl and fine glimmers begin together. Every few minutes one of the layers fades away: first the glimmers, then the bowl, the wind and the water. At the end a thin texture remains; the sound never falls completely silent. As each layer leaves, listen to what remains. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.

20 minNo headphones needed

The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.

In the room you can listen to each layer on its own, change its settings and save it as your own recipe.

Sound is generated on this device in real time; no files are downloaded from a server. There is a 20 s fade-in at the start and a 1 min fade-out at the end.

Compare with another sound

Hear both at the same loudness; drag the slider to the middle and they blend.

These two sounds can't share one recipe (different tuning or effects): listen to the samples one after the other.

S · Soundscape, no claim

No health or mental-effect claim at all; it is simply a soundscape.

This session isn't linked to any claim of effect.

A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
