Night Café

A half-empty café on a rainy night: muffled rain on the roof, the odd cup and faint, distant conversation. Procedurally synthesised, not recorded.

45 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.

Evidence

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.
