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 \[soh-nahr\]
An ambient listening experience shaped by the world.
Sonaur is a generative art experience where real musicians create the sounds, and real-world data determines how they unfold. Like wind chimes, there is no fixed performance—only conditions, variation, and presence. Each moment is unique, unrepeatable, and meant to be experienced as it happens.
This is not recorded music and not AI-generated sound. Every sample is created by a human artist. The system simply decides when and how those sounds appear.
How to Listen

Let the environment unfold
There's nothing to optimize. Stay as long as you like.
The Sonic Palettes
Each palette is a collection of complementary sounds designed to work together in countless combinations. Some are sparse. Some are enveloping. All reflect the voice of the artist who created them.
Ethereal
Suspended in space. Ambient textures that drift without gravity.
Lush
Spacious and sparkling. Shimmering tones expanding infinitely.
Golden Ratio
Drawn from the structural proportions of the universe. A waking dream that pulls you deeper.
The same palette will sound different across locations, times of day, and conditions—while remaining recognizably itself.
About This Experience
This web experience offers a window into Sonaur's core idea: music as an environment rather than a track. Weather data acts as the organizing force, subtly influencing density, timing, and interaction between sounds.
A native iOS app expands this experience with background playback and deeper system integration for extended listening.
Notes

Sonaur is evolving slowly and intentionally. If you spend time listening and have reflections—about the sound, the feeling, or how it fits into your day—we'd love to hear them.
