DESCRIPTION

Relax, Focus, Escape.

The world is a noisy, distracting place. Regain your focus and sense of calm by creating a natural, positive soundscape, powered by birdsong.

Scientific research has shown that humans have a natural response to the sound of birds. When birds are singing, you are reassured that there are no predators nearby. Your thoughts can be calm and focussed. Relaxation, work focus and creative thinking are all enhanced by the sounds of birds singing.

Using a process called generative audio, Carmina Avium creates natural and customised ambient environments. This process builds your personal ambience in real-time. Just like in the forest, the birds in Carmina Avium never sing the same song twice.

Choose from two dozen species of birds and add your favourite natural sounds of rain or water, creating an ambience to suit your ideal environment. Alternatively select from ten premade ambiences for immediate immersion. Set the timer for however long you want, the ambience can keep playing as you explore other apps or when your device sleeps. Save an unlimited number of your personalized ambiences for later use.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER:

Carmina Avium was developed from a long love of sound and music and a career spent championing the importance of audio in our personal lives. Stephan Schütze has been a musician, composer and sound designer for over twenty years and after spending over a decade working on audio for video games, one lesson he has learned is the importance of immersing an audience in a world they can believe in.

More than simply creating an App from sourced assets, Schütze has recorded each and every sound that is used to create Carmina Avium. Recorded over a five year period over three continents, the sounds for Carmina Avium are a small part of the over 25,000 sounds that now make up his Sound Librarian sound catalog. Stephan’s passion for audio is demonstrated in the sounds he collects, the projects he produces and the presentations he gives, but none more-so than the care and attention put into Carmina Avium.
