# Calm music to meditate and sleep

> Make calm music to meditate and sleep to: soft drones, a singing bowl, slow piano, rain. Describe it, then change it by asking. Free to start.

Describe how you want to feel, like "calm, before sleep" or "slow breathing for ten minutes". Shawarma makes soft music for it: a low drone, a bowl that rings, slow piano.

If something is too much, ask for less. Quieter, slower, no high notes, more rain. Every change plays while the music keeps going.

Breathe

## Then ask for *changes*

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

- You quieter, with fewer notes
- You add soft rain
- You slower, for breathing in and out
- You take the voices out
- You a deeper drone

## Made to slow down

- Slow on purpose: Low tempos, long notes and no sudden sounds, so the music never pulls you back.
- Less is easy to ask for: Quieter, fewer notes, no high sounds. Say what is too much and only that changes.
- Your own room: Rain, the sea, a quiet bowl. Describe it, and keep it playing as long as you need.

**See the code of “Breathe”**

```
setcpm(15) // 60 BPM, C major, breathe in for four, out for four

const drone = note("[c2,g2]").s("gm_pad_warm").attack(3).release(4).lpf(800).gain(.28)
const bowl = note("<c5 ~ g4 ~>").s("vibraphone").room(.9).release(4).gain(.14)
const voices = note("<[e4,g4,c5] [d4,g4,b4]>").s("gm_choir_aahs").attack(2).release(3).gain(.12)

arrange(
  [4, stack(drone)],                 // settle in
  [8, stack(drone, bowl, voices)],   // breathe
)
```
