A few ways to listen

Begin starts a new, continuously evolving piece. There is no fixed track or looped composition.

New growth finds a fresh musical world. Randomize also changes the mood and controls.

Mix the eight sound sources, use M to mute and S to solo. Plant notes in the growth map; brighter cells guide the tonal birds and moss plucks. Choose Whistle, Flute, or Trill in Birdsong and adjust how often the flock answers. Shape rain, water, wind, and pluck resonance in Forest floor.

Windows start around an open clearing. Press + to expand a tucked-away module. Drag windows by their title bars, or use Arrange windows to restore the clearing. Collapse them with −, or choose View forest to leave only the landscape and sound.

Record captures the full stereo mix. Pause holds music and recording; Resume continues the same take. Press Stop, then Download to save it. Save your take before recording another or leaving this page.

Sound begins only after you press Begin or Record. On mobile, keep the browser open for uninterrupted listening. The forest moves even before audio starts. Turn off Living background for stillness.
