Yeah, I’m the guy who haunts the iTunes Store’s Ambient aisle. So I sometimes have trouble sleeping—you wanna make something of it?!
But the iTunes Store will likely see less of me at 3 a.m., thanks to Bit of Paradise’s SonicMood, an ambient-sound generator.
Playing a combination of moody synthesized instruments and digitized nature sounds, the highly configurable SonicMood generates the kind of relaxing audio ambience that will soothe even the most restless insomniacs.
Sure, the interface looks like it was built in 1998, but the benefit is in the listening, not the looking.
