Stillness · Your Own Stillness · Water and harmonic drone
A twelve-minute listen with the two families of sound you chose: water and harmonic drone. Both sit at the same loudness and neither covers the other; let your attention move from one to the other whenever it wants. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.
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.
