Just beautiful

My favorite loops for relaxation and sleep

Excellent!

Late to this party. Great app, though I guess its been some time and very buggy on Apple TV 4K.

Hypnotising!

This is a beautiful generative music app that is comparable to much more pricy alternatives such as Endel and Brian Eno’s Reflection (both apps I use). There aren’t many generative ambient music apps out there but this one manages not only to sound great (I often forget the music is not directly made by hand which is a tribute to the app’s quality) but to keep the price down.

There are four tracks (ambient music generators) included and each sounds individual yet well-fitted to the timeless and chilling theme.

I have noticed a slight bug that reverses the track that is selected when tapping one of the four options (eg. tapping on track 1 plays track 4 and vice versa). This however is a minor annoyance that the price more than makes up for.

The one thing the app lacks is a pause timer. So if you wish for the music to stop when you fall asleep, you’ll have to set a timer in the clock app with ‘When Timer Ends’ set to stop playing.

I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants calm and hypnotising music that keeps you in the same timeless suspense as a ship that has sailed adrift.

Found This on BandCamp...

Believe it or not, I found this app, along with this music on BandCamp.

For over 20 years I have had less than 5 hours of sleep every night. Last night I downloaded this app and got a full 7 1/2 hours!!! Thank you.

An atmosphere of quietude

This is a beautiful app.
I am able to settle the mind and find moments of sleep at night with the sounds continuously shifting, gently.
I also work in the studio immersed when this app is playing.
Thank you Scott.

👀👂Your Melbourne Substation show was stunning by the way, with such texturally rich and subtle movements of sound. Thank you ever so for making the trip across the world. Wishing you the best. - Rohan☺️
