What it does for you

You should not have to work at relaxing

Most music keeps your mind busy — following the beat, guessing what comes next. That holds you in beta, the fast, vigilant gear you spend all day in. Steven has spent fifty years building music that does the opposite. Put it on, and the letting go happens on its own.

Your mind stops bracing

Melody and harmony keep you tracking what comes next. Steven composes without them, so there is nothing to brace against.

You settle in faster

Tuned to 432 Hz rather than the standard 440. Warmer, and easier to land in.

Pick the state you need

Alpha (8–12 Hz) to focus. Theta (4–8 Hz) to meditate. Delta, lower still, to sleep.

Calm that reaches deeper

Built on the solfeggio tones, used for centuries to steady and restore.

It works while you rest

Affirmations sit below the level of hearing. You listen to the music; the words come along.

Fifty years ago the culture had no use for it. The frequencies were right; the moment wasn’t — not until yoga went mainstream and the rest caught up. See the research behind it

Before you listen

Questions, answered

Steven composes with tone, time, space, silence and gentle brainwave entrainment to help evoke the body’s natural relaxation response and support mindful, stress-reducing states. Many albums are tuned to A=432 Hz, a pitch some listeners find especially soothing.

Both are available on many titles. MP3 downloads deliver instantly and are non-refundable. Physical CDs can be exchanged or refunded within 30 days, shipping not included; defective CDs are always covered.

Speakers are lovely for ambient listening. But for tracks with brainwave entrainment or binaural components, you’ll get the most benefit from stereo headphones — they reveal subtle detail and deepen meditation.

A popular entry point is Sound Healing 432, a best-of collection. Steven also recommends Deep Alpha and Deep Theta 2.0 for meditation and relaxation.
