SonicMood creates a soothing background of melodic tones when you don't want the distraction of ordinary canned music. Each "Mood" is a blend of polyphonic stereo instrumentals with pleasing harmonies combined with the sounds of nature. Moods have a relaxing effect, the gentle sounds lying just below your consciousness. SonicMood comes with 28 pre-defined Moods AND you can create your own! Here are samples of two Moods from the 28 supplied: (listen to a minute's worth of Zen Meditation or Celestial Harmony)

SonicMood also allows you to make your own Moods - customization is a big feature of SonicMood. There is a built-in editor where you can specify any 3 of the 128 available MIDI instruments for a Mood, along with the octave range each instrument plays in, what musical scale they use, and what the timing relationships are between the notes created. There's really much more than that, but that gives a general idea of the power of SonicMood's creative capabilities. And once you've got a group of instruments set up, you can add up to 16 nature or other sound recordings to the mix - per Mood! SonicMood provides 21 nature sounds like rain, thunder, birds, and more with the download. Take a look at our Sharing page for even more. You can add your own, too. The combination of instrumental and recorded sounds makes for "Ambient Music" at its best.

You can record the instrumental sounds using SonicMood's built-in MIDI recorder. Or you can use a program like Rogue Amoeba's "Audio Hijack Pro" and record everything SonicMood plays, including nature sounds. Copy into iTunes and play on your iPod when you're away from your computer. Include with your own compositions if you'd like - we won't mind. Find out more in the FAQ under “Recording SonicMood Sound”.

Using SonicMood, Patrick EL MELIANI created a custom Mood and recorded it to a MIDI file. He then brought it into GarageBand (tm) and massaged it into the decidedly “New Age” sound you’ll hear if you click to listen: Sonic Ambient
