About this session
- Sharpens focus
- Quiets distraction
- Restores steady energy
- Settles the mind
Light Years is an eleven-minute binaural soundscape by Luis Perla, rooted in sound healing. Slow, layered tones are built to be heard through headphones, where each ear receives a slightly different signal. Nothing is said to you. You simply let the sound hold your attention while you work or sit.
It suits the hours when the day starts to sag and your concentration thins out. Play it before a final push on a project, while you write, study or plan, or as a short reset between tasks. Late afternoon is where it fits best.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What am I actually hearing in Light Years?
You hear a wash of sustained tones with no spoken words. It is a binaural piece, which means the sound is designed so each ear receives a slightly different tone through headphones. The result is a smooth, slowly shifting texture that sits in the background of your attention.
Why does it need headphones?
Binaural sound works by sending separate signals to your left and right ears. Played through a speaker, those signals blend together and the effect is lost. Stereo headphones keep them apart, so the piece sounds as it was made to.
Is this meant to be listened to or worked with?
Both work. You can sit and listen with your eyes closed for eleven minutes, or play it quietly while you write, study or plan. Because nothing is asked of you, it can stay in the background while your attention rests on a single task.
Why is late afternoon the recommended time?
That is when energy and concentration often dip after a full day. This track is made for that stretch, to help you settle and keep going on something that matters. Earlier in the day you may not need it as much, and close to bedtime you may want something more restful.
How can I use it for a longer work session?
Eleven minutes is a short piece, so you can set it to repeat if you want the sound to stay with you through a longer block of work. Choose one task before you press play and keep the volume low enough that it supports you without competing for attention.
