Your personal ambient soundtrack, created by the world.
Sonaur is a digital art experience that generates unique, ambient soundscapes driven by real-time data sources. Like physical wind chimes, the experience is designed to be enjoyed in the moment—unpredictable, meditative, and ever-changing. Not recorded music, but a living, ambient soundtrack.
About This Prototype
You're experiencing an early proof-of-concept. This web version demonstrates the core concept before full mobile development begins.
What's working now:
Multiple sonic palettes (Ethereal, Lush) with unique timbral characters
Real-time weather data drives the generative audio engine
Optional binaural beat underlayer for focus and meditation
Ambient visual background during playback
Persistent palette preference (saved between sessions)
What's coming in the mobile app:
Additional data sources ("winds"): e.g., your movement & health metrics, airplane traffic, and more
Additional curated sonic palettes: Coast, Deep Forest, Traditional Chimes
Optimized for daily use—morning walks, meditation, working, existing
Background audio playback
Current limitations:
Internet connection required
Two sonic palettes available (more coming)
Weather data only (more data sources planned)
Audio may not work on all mobile browsers
How to Use
Select your sonic palette (Ethereal or Lush)
Enter any city name to explore its weather as sound
Optional: Toggle binaural beats on/off and select your desired frequency
Put on headphones and select "Start"
Let the world create your soundtrack
Tip: Try different cities to hear how different weather conditions create different sonic experiences. Switch between palettes to explore varied timbral textures.
Mobile Note: Your screen will stay on during playback to keep audio running. On some mobile browsers, audio may still pause when the screen locks—the native mobile app will support true background playback.
