About this app

Hi, my name is Darek. I'm a music composer and sound artist, and Relaxing Soundscape is my musical composition application that I have created to help people who experience difficulty sleeping, difficulty falling or staying asleep, or who just can't disconnect from everyday tasks and thought, or not being able to relax or be at ease while at home or at work.
You can use my application to get to sleep easier, prevent insomnia, relieve anxiety or stress by creating instant calming and soothing sound atmospheres.
It can be used as a meditation app that tracks the time for you in a non-intrusive way, making your breathing exercise, yoga or meditation more pleasing and effective.
It can stimulate creativity and focus during studies or while performing other creative thinking tasks.
You can use it to calm children before bed.
It can be used also as a simple and unique alarm clock to wake you up calmly and without disturbing.

The premium version contains my relaxing music composition with the sound that I specially designed for tranquility, calm and sleep, plus 20 more relaxing sounds of nature that I have recorded myself. This number will grow in time as I travel and record even more out in the field. For now, you can listen to sound elements ranging from rain, brook, meadows, birds, through a waterfall, fire, sea and subtle susurrus of leaves in the forest. The relaxing sounds can be played in any combination to create any desired ambiance.

## How to use it
You simply run the application. You may set the desired combination of nature's relaxing sounds and their volume as well. You can also play with the sound-orbs if you feel like you want to interact with the relaxing music. You probably want to set the overall volume of the device not too loud, to a level that does not disturb you (it's very important), then place your android device somewhere in the room to change it into serene space.

If you want to relax, I would recommend to lay down, close your eyes, breath slowly and deeply.

If you want to fall asleep, turn off or dim the lights in the room. I also recommend connecting android device to the charger first. Set the Relaxing Soundscape timer to 30 minutes and check it's "Auto quit on time out" option. Set desired combination of nature's relaxing sounds and their volume to a proper level, play a little with the sound-orbs to interact with the relaxing music, then put the android device away, close your eyes, breath slowly and deeply, relax your body and start listening.
