Soft periwinkle wave lines stacked down a deep night-blue background, growing fainter and flatter toward the bottom, with a few faint stars above.

About the sound

Each session layers soft tone pairs, one in each ear, over a gentle noise bed, with a voice guiding you. Research on binaural beats is mixed; we publish both sides.
