The Sound Lab
Two free tools, and the reasoning behind them.
Made alongside our Holistic Music Therapy Practitioner Course. Nothing to install, no sign-up, and every sound is generated in your browser.
The tool
Sound Studio
Build a short piece on a scale where nothing can sound wrong. Choose who you are playing for, and the studio tells you what works for them and what does not. Save it, share it, or download the audio.

The listening one
Sound Bath Mixer
Layer six gentle sounds into a blend that helps you settle, focus or sleep. Set a timer, save your mix, and come back to it whenever you need a pause.
