Gabriel Loynaz offers nine minutes of birdsong with nothing else in the way: no voice, no guidance, no music. You simply listen as the solitaire sings, letting each call give your attention somewhere gentle to rest. Use it as a quiet backdrop or as the focus of your sitting.
It suits anyone who wants a soft start before the day's noise arrives. It pairs well with your own silent meditation, journaling or a slow cup of tea. Reach for it at dawn, or any time you need to step away and breathe.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What will I actually hear in this track?
You hear the song of a single kind of bird, the black-faced solitaire, with no spoken guidance and no instructions. There is nothing to follow or do. The track runs for nine minutes, so you can simply listen as the calls come and go.
How can I use birdsong to meditate more deeply?
Treat each call as an anchor. When your mind wanders into the day ahead, notice it and return to the next note of the song. Because there is no voice, the practice is entirely yours, and the sound simply gives your attention a soft place to land.
Why is it recommended for early morning?
Birdsong is closely tied to the start of the day, so it makes a natural way to wake into stillness before messages and plans arrive. Playing it at dawn, even before you get out of bed or while you sit with a warm drink, lets the morning begin at an easy pace.
Can I play it while I do something else?
Yes. With no voice to follow, it works well as a gentle background for journaling, stretching or a quiet breakfast. If you want it to deepen your meditation, give it your full attention instead and let the sound be the only thing you tend to.
