Shawarma

Ambient music that takes its time

Describe a place or a feeling, like "the northern lights over snow", and Shawarma makes slow ambient music for it: long pads, soft bells, a little air.

Nothing hurries. Ask for it slower, warmer, with no drums at all, or with the sound of water under it.

Northern lights

Then ask for changes

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

Made for a quiet room

  • No beat to follow

    Long, slow sounds with no drums, unless you ask for them.

  • As long as you need

    It loops while the page is open, or ask for a long piece with several parts.

  • Your own place

    A forest, the sea, a city at night. Describe it and change it until it fits.

Can I make it longer?
Yes. The music loops while it plays, or ask for a long piece with several parts so it changes slowly over time.
Do I need to know music?
No. Say what you want to hear in your own words, then ask for changes the same way.
