About
Natural sound to work in, rest in and fall asleep to.
Each place moves with the real time and weather of the place itself.
For the afternoon when the office is too loud to think in,
and the night when the room is too quiet to fall back asleep.
Put one on and leave it.
It asks nothing of you.
PLACES
A bamboo grove in Kyoto.
A black-sand beach in Vík.
A gotjawal forest on Jeju at sunrise.
A monsoon veranda in Kochi.
New places keep arriving.
IT FOLLOWS THE REAL HOUR THERE
Every place moves through dawn, morning, day, dusk and night
on the clock of its own timezone.
So a bird that only calls at daybreak
really does call only then.
Online, it checks the weather there every fifteen minutes.
When it rains there, it rains in your room.
MADE FOR MOMENTS LIKE THESE
FOCUS
An open-plan afternoon.
The hours of keyboards and the call at the next desk.
Put a place on
and all that noise has somewhere to sit.
Without taking your focus away.
REST
Work is done, but it is still early to sleep.
When you want the room you worked in all day
to stop feeling like the room you worked in.
SLEEP
Just set the timer.
It keeps running for a while after you are already asleep,
then fades out slowly at the time you set.
No getting up at three in the morning
to turn something off.
NOT A LOOP YOU GET USED TO
Sounds appear, move and pass by on their own hours.
And they come from where they plausibly would have come from.
Less like listening to a repeating track,
more like sitting somewhere while the place carries on.
OR JUST PICK A STATE
When you don't want to choose a place,
pick one of Focus, Rest, Sleep or Meditation.
In Focus, the room fills in a little while you work,
and settles back when you stop.
SPATIAL, IF YOU WANT IT
Head tracking with AirPods.
No camera, no microphone.
Only the motion sensor in the device.
Off by default.
IT KEEPS PLAYING
It keeps playing in the background and from the lock screen.
Through a whole morning of work,
or a whole night of sleep.
NO TUNED FREQUENCIES OR TONES
Rain, fire, wind, water, birdsong.
No frequencies set to a particular number, no artificially tuned tones.
Every sound was chosen and put together by hand.
