Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are an auditory effect created when slightly different frequencies play in each ear. Many listeners find them helpful for focus, relaxation, and meditation. Enable and select a frequency based on your desired state: deeper frequencies for calm, higher for concentration.

Sonaur is a digital art experience that generates unique, ambient soundscapes driven by real-time data sources. Like physical wind chimes, the experience is designed to be enjoyed in the moment—unpredictable, meditative, and ever-changing. Not recorded music, but a living, ambient soundtrack.
