Dream Gate · Intention Seed

Ten minutes of a soft chord field before bed: a few light voices drift to a new chord every half minute or so, with no melody. As you begin, choose a short intention (such as "Tonight I'll remember my dream") and keep it in mind; there is no need to repeat it or to wake up during the night. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.

10 minNo headphones neededEvidence level S: Soundscape, no claim

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 15 s fade-in at the start and a 2 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.

Mixed in the middle, the partials of these two sounds would create an unlabelled beat (4-40 Hz): the slider crosses the middle with a short crossfade.

B: neighbours on the map

8 trials, half of them the same sound; get at least 7 right and the difference is audible. The result stays on this device.

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.
