Works in Progress
Alongside the Recorder, I build small sound-and-visual apps exploring how music, tone, and slow imagery affect mood and relaxation. The sessions below are early experiments, shared openly for testing and feedback.
These are experiments, not treatments. Everything here is offered for testing, feedback, and personal exploration only. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and none of these sessions is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. No health claims are made or implied.
Talk to your doctor first if you have any medical condition, are pregnant, use a pacemaker or other implanted device, or have a history of seizures — some sessions use rhythmic light and sound patterns. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, unwell, or uncomfortable in any way. If you have tinnitus or any hearing concern, see an audiologist or physician — sudden or worsening tinnitus deserves proper evaluation, and no soundscape is a substitute for that.
The animal sessions are not veterinary care. They make no claims about animal health or behavior. Keep playback quiet, never confine an animal with a sound source, watch for signs of stress, and consult your veterinarian about any health or behavioral concern.
These sessions are in active development. They may change, break, or disappear between visits. Your feedback about what you experienced — good, bad, or nothing at all — is exactly what I'm looking for. Email me your impressions.
The core session: sustained tone, music, and slow visuals designed around the contemplative practice of saṃyama — settled attention on a single object. For quiet listening with headphones or good speakers.
Open the session →An experiment in masking and habituation-style soundscapes for people who live with ringing ears. Not a treatment — an exploration of which textures listeners find easiest to rest inside. Your feedback on what helped or didn't is especially valuable here.
Open the session →Calm soundscapes voiced in ranges dogs respond to, for resting, thunderstorm nights, and time alone. Play at low volume and watch how your dog responds — every animal is different.
Open the session →Slow textures and purr-tempo rhythms for cats. Cats vote with their feet — if yours settles in the room, that's data.
Open the session →Gentle soundscapes for birds, tuned to avoid startling frequencies. Best at low volume in the same room, never directly beside the cage.
Open the session →Long, low, steady soundscapes for cattle — an experiment in whether barn playback affects calm. If you keep cows and try this, I would genuinely love to hear what you observe.
Open the session →These sessions are free to use while in development. If you find them interesting and want to help keep the work going, a donation of any size is welcome and appreciated.
