Lofi Satie radio: three ways to hear Gymnopédie No. 1

Lo-fi Haven is the music planet on Sendglow. It plays Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 in three voices: a music box over old vinyl, warm electric piano with rain, and a harp at first light. Tap the planet to tune in and all three stations show up in your Lofi player.

Gymnopédie No. 1 was written in 1888. It's slow, sparse, and gently repetitive, and it doesn't ask for your attention. That is exactly why it works as a study track, a focus track, or something to have on while you wind down, better than a song with lyrics you end up listening to.

The composition is in the public domain. The performances, tones and background sounds are generated by Sendglow right in your browser, so there are no audio files to download.

Three stations, three rooms

Same melody, different mood.

• Music Box: a music box ringing over old vinyl crackle, good for sitting with a memory.
• Rainy Night: warm electric piano with rain at the window, good for late work or winding down.
• First Light: a soft harp like early sun, good for starting a slow morning.

How to tune in

Tap the Lo-fi planet in the Galaxy to catch the Satie station. After that the three stations live in your Lofi button, and you use Next to switch. The music keeps playing as you move around Sendglow, so you can start it and go back to writing a note.

About the 432Hz tuning

The stations are tuned to 432Hz instead of the usual 440Hz. That's a choice about tone that many people find warm, not a cure for anything. Listen because it sounds nice, not because of any health claim.

Lines on the dial

Breathe in calm, breathe out worry. The world can rush; you are allowed to rest.

Go easy on yourself. You're learning as you go, and doing better than you think.
