The Geography

Immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of The Geography, a companion that creates meditative, ambient soundscapes to enhance your relaxation, contemplation, creativity, self-care, sleeping, and dreaming. With an endless, nonlinear musical score unique to each instance, you will experience an ever-changing soundscape crafted by composer Michael Berto.


Take in the stunning landscapes that The Geography presents, rendered from terrain data sourced from Svalbard, Norway. You can swap between mountain vistas and color schemes, or let the app slowly and automatically shift scenery. The app also displays local and Svalbard time and includes a session timer, allowing you to monitor how long you've spent on self-care, relaxation, or meditation.


The Geography's generative compositional design ensures that every listening experience is novel and exclusive. The app offers interactions designed to induce calmness, breathing, and focus, accompanied by a musical soundtrack that reinforces relaxation and composure. The app incorporates measurements of time from real-world locations within Svalbard.


Experience The Geography at your own speed, with the option of calm, interactive play or automatic and ambient use. The app also makes use of calm, peaceful, and relaxing sounds and music, curated especially to promote a meditative sense of mindfulness and focus.


Svalbard is home to The Geography's source data taken from the Seed Vault, the inspiration behind the app's design. During your session, you can learn more about both The Geography and AudioLoom, a joint project between Michael Berto and Titouan Millet.


In the words of Michael Berto, "The Geography has been such a piece for me, and hopefully now will be for you, too." Indulge in The Geography and discover a new way to listen and engage with music and soundscapes - an ever-evolving, never-ending composition that you can enjoy in a state of familiarity and newness for as long as you want.
