You can hear a single-note sample of a kalimba converted with multichannel harmonic delay. Additionally, you can experience additive synthesis creating ambient sounds.
The binaural beats are in the Theta wave, meaning there is a 4 Hz difference in the frequencies heard in the left and right sides of the headphones. This Theta wave frequency aims to induce relaxation.
Binaural Beats have helped me concentrate on reading, inspiring me to embark on a project of my own. I am writing my bachelor's thesis about the use of generative music systems in games. In the end, I found myself more intrigued by this aspect of the project.

Composing music and SFX for the game
My goal was to create music suitable for a joyful gaming world using Latin rhythms. The only "live instrument" used was the kalimba; otherwise, the music was composed using MIDI instruments and rhythm loops
