The tones group is for sounds that are not weather, machines or places. It includes singing bowls that ring and fade, slow pads that drift without a beat, the warm hiss of a cassette, the crackle of a record, the rustle of fabric and a wide, spacious ambient bed. They are quiet and abstract, and they ask very little. Bowls and pads suit slow, unhurried evenings. Cassette and record sounds add a soft, textured background for reading and work. When you choose, listen for how much movement you want. Some of these are nearly still, and some ring and fade now and then.
