Soundscapes that never loop.
TOTEMPHONIA grows living ecosystems in real time: a generative engine that never repeats itself. Build your own world of sound, down to the last voice.
01 · The Mixer
Mix every element. Then shape its world.
Layer birdsong, rain, rivers, wind and so much more. Every mixer gives you volume. TOTEMPHONIA adds intensity: not how loud a sound is, but how big, eventful and diverse. Turn a single bird into a whole dawn chorus, a babbling brook into a roaring river.
02 · Presets
Places, events, feelings. Ready to play.
Start from carefully crafted presets that capture a specific space, time of day or mood. Tweak anything you like, then save your own soundscape and return to it whenever you want.
The two forest presets play here, with the sounds from above.
03 · Nature Radio
Tune in. The world is live.
Four real places, simulated in real time from actual climate data. Drop in and just listen to the space: morning in the Amazon, dusk in the Maldives, midnight at a mountain temple.
Here, four samples recorded in the app, each with the place and time of its recording.
04 · Timer
Soundscapes that go somewhere.
Set a timer and the soundscape evolves: volume and intensity rise and fall along a narrative arc. A 30-minute meditation can pass through a slow rainstorm, a 5-minute break walks you through a rainforest morning and back out with more focus, a 45-minute sleep arc settles a busy forest dusk into deep night. Pick a crafted journey, or give your own saved mixes a Soundscape Arc.
05 · Alarm
Wake without the jolt.
A gentle alarm built on the same engine. Choose a soundscape that fades in along a narrative arc, so morning arrives slowly and softly. You decide how long the fade-in lasts.
WAKE AT 06:30
06 · Hearing
For every kind of hearing.
Some ears find bright high frequencies genuinely uncomfortable: sharp bird calls, certain insect chirps. The Noise Sensitivity filter in Settings softens those frequencies while preserving the soundscape’s natural character. Built in from the start, because not everyone hears the same way.
Here the filter acts on everything that sounds on this page: mixer, presets, Nature Radio, timer and alarm. It works as in the app: a high shelf at 1 kHz lowers the highs by up to 6 dB, and a low-pass glides from 20 down to 4.2 kHz.

Thirty minutes, an hour: for a test listen.
On the TOTEMPHONIA YouTube channel, listening sessions show the dynamic soundscapes you can create with the app. Each follows its own narrative arc, dynamic, natural and restorative: for meditation and relaxation, as gentle sound for sleep, for focus and for attention restoration.
