5999 — Quiet Kyoto Koto & Sacred Tanpura

Seed #5999 is one entry in the Meditation & 432Hz pillar of Calm Sound Archive. It is generated in the browser with the Web Audio API, so nothing is streamed and nothing is downloaded: the same seed number always produces the same piece of audio.

What you are hearing

Three detuned sawtooth voices through a lowpass filter, producing a slow beating drone.

The musical material uses Japanese Hirajoshi at 50 BPM, tuned to 852 Hz. A binaural offset of 5.5 Hz separates the left and right channels slightly, which is what gives the track its width on headphones.

When to use it

Use it for seated practice, breath work, or a short reset between tasks. Let the decay of each strike set the pace. This seed leans toward deep sleep and runs at 50 BPM, so it moves slowly enough to sit under conversation or sleep.

How to listen

  • Press play and choose a session length between five minutes and eight hours.
  • Headphones give the binaural layer room to work; speakers still play the track but flatten the stereo image.
  • Keep the volume where you can still hear the room. The fade-out at the end of a session is ten seconds, not a hard stop.
