About this session
- Sparks creativity
- Opens the mind
- Eases into mornings
- Invites fresh ideas
UFO is a nine-minute binaural soundscape by Gabriel Loynaz. There is no voice and nothing to follow. Binaural sound works by giving each ear a slightly different tone, so it is best heard on headphones. The title hints at the mood: something unfamiliar drifting in, leaving your mind room to wander.
It suits anyone who creates for a living or for fun: writers, designers, makers, people planning something new. Play it first thing in the morning before a brainstorm, a drafting session or a blank page, or any time you want to step out of routine thinking before you begin.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does binaural mean in this soundscape?
Binaural sound sends a slightly different tone to each ear, and your brain blends them into one experience. That is why headphones matter here: through speakers the effect is lost. There is nothing to do except listen.
Is there any voice or guidance?
No. UFO has no voice and no instructions, so you are free to let your attention drift wherever it goes. If you like to be told what to imagine, a guided visualization will suit you better.
How can I use it before creative work?
Play it in the morning as a bridge into your session, before a brainstorm, a draft or a blank page. Let the nine minutes finish, then start with whatever comes to mind first. You can also keep a notebook nearby for thoughts that show up as you listen.
Why is it called UFO?
The name points to the mood: something unfamiliar and a little otherworldly, meant to pull you out of ordinary thinking. It is a cue for curiosity rather than a story, so you can decide what it means as you listen.
Should I listen with my eyes closed or open?
Either works, since nothing is asked of you. Closed eyes can help the mind wander, while open eyes, perhaps on a notebook or a window, can keep you ready to capture ideas.
