About this session
- Deepens relaxation
- Eases evening tension
- Supports restful sleep
- Settles a busy mind
This is a nine-minute soundscape built around a 10Hz binaural tone, the alpha range, played underneath gentle sounds drawn from nature. Gabriel Loynaz keeps the texture smooth and even, so there is nothing to follow or do. You simply wear headphones and let the layers blend.
It suits the moments when you want to shift gears: after work, between tasks, in the hour before bed, or whenever you need a pocket of stillness. Use it as a quiet reset, a companion for winding down, or a soft backdrop as sleep approaches.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does the 10Hz tone mean?
10Hz sits in the alpha range, the frequency band often associated with relaxed, wakeful rest. A binaural tone is made by playing two slightly different pitches, one in each ear, so you perceive a steady pulse at the difference. Here that pulse is set at 10Hz and sits beneath the softer sounds.
Why do I need headphones for this one?
The binaural effect depends on each ear hearing its own pitch. Through speakers the two tones blend in the air, and the effect is lost. Headphones keep them separate, so the 10Hz pulse can form as intended.
What will I actually hear?
You will hear a smooth, steady tone with soft, nature-toned sound around it. It doesn't build, change sharply or ask anything of you. The even texture is part of the point, giving your attention nothing to chase.
Is this meant for sleep or for relaxing while awake?
Either. It is made for winding down after a busy day, easing toward sleep, or resting in a quiet, spacious calm. Play it as you settle into bed, or sit with it for nine minutes as a break in your day.
Should I focus on the sound or let my mind wander?
There is no right way to listen. You can follow the tone gently, notice the nature textures, or let your attention drift. If you notice thoughts, let them pass and come back to the sound whenever you like.
