generative music for whatever you're doing

Faza

Music composed in this very moment, for your task and your hour. You'll never hear it again.

Sound only starts when you tap, and it plays the hour you are in right now. It plays quietly; the volume is at the bottom.

how it works

Three steps, and then you can forget about the music

  1. first note

    Pick what you're doing

    Focus, Sleep, Walk or Rest. That's the only decision you'll be asked to make.

  2. second note

    Faza checks the clock

    It takes the time of day into account, and how long you've been listening. Mornings sound brighter, nights sit lower and feel wider.

  3. third note

    It plays for as long as you need

    New notes arrive every second. When you're done, just stop. The ending will shape itself.

modes

Four tasks, four temperaments

Tap a mode for ten seconds of live sound that then fades away by itself. Different notes every time.

focus · tap to hear

  • A steady, quiet pulse and sparse plucked notes from the pentatonic scale, which has no harsh intervals. The top end is rolled off, so the sound stays in the background and never starts a conversation.

  • Long low tones, brown noise like distant surf, and almost no rhythm. It breathes slower than you do and drifts off on its own by the end of the session.

  • Light footsteps on the left and right, a bright major key and a melody that keeps pace beside you without pulling ahead. The tempo of a stroll with nowhere in particular to be.

  • Slow, warm chords and chimes that ring whenever they feel like it. Nothing asks for your attention, so you can simply be.

time of day

The music knows what time it is

In the morning Faza sounds brighter and a touch faster, during the day it holds steady, in the evening it warms up, and at night it sinks lower and opens up. Drag the time and listen to the tone change.

why it never gets old

You can learn a playlist by heart. Not Faza

The little motifs next to each point were drawn at random when this page loaded. Refresh it and you'll get new ones.

  1. There isn't a single recording inside

    Faza stores no tracks. Every note is chosen at the moment it sounds, so you couldn't replay last night's evening even if you tried.

  2. Rules instead of a playlist

    Each mode has its own scale, tempo and timbre. Inside those limits it's free, like a musician who improvises but never hits a wrong note.

  3. The hour sets the tone

    Brighter and quicker in the morning, lower and slower towards night. You never hear the change, just as you never see the minute it starts getting dark.

  4. Session length is part of the shape

    The first minutes ease you in, the middle holds steady, the ending lets go gently. An hour of work sounds like one long piece with no seams.

What people hear once they start listening

    “I work nights. I used to put on ten hours of rain, now it's Focus. It's as if it's awake too, but it never gets in the way.”

    Kate, 29 · illustrator

    “I stopped checking what track was playing. Because there is no track. A strange and very pleasant feeling.”

    “I've never once heard it switch off. So I guess it works.”

    “The footsteps in the music seem to fall in with mine. Or maybe I'm imagining it, and that's fine too.”

    “Rest on a Sunday morning sounds different from a Wednesday evening. I checked. Twice.”

questions

The short answers to what matters

Does it really never repeat?

Individual intervals come back, of course, the way words do in speech. But the phrases, their order, the pauses and the timbres come together differently every time. There's simply no recorded melody that could be played twice.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. The music is generated on your device, so it works on a plane, on the underground and in flight mode. You only need a connection to pay for Plus.

How is this different from a focus playlist?

Your brain recognises a familiar track and starts waiting for its favourite bit. Faza gives it nothing to learn, so there's nothing to wait for and your attention stays on the task.

Can I listen all day on headphones?

Yes. The default volume is low, there are no sharp attacks or sudden jumps, and every start and stop fades in and out smoothly, without clicks. By evening the sound softens on its own.

How do I cancel Plus?

In the app settings, with a single tap. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, and the free version stays with you.
