Customer Reviews
A Beautiful Escape
Such amazing music by Jen Starsinic. This is a truly beautiful escape from reality. Put in your earbuds, relax, and let it take over you. It will take you to places you’ve never imagined before.
Improvisation Relaxation
Listen to these creatively stimulating songs as they are built from the ground up. The music will slowly creep its way into your brain and help you focus, relax, or create - whichever way your brain works.
Wholly unique, engaging soundscapes
This is a truly unique listening experience where an artist lets us in on her creative process in real time. Each soundscape is 100% improvised live and presented in its raw, unfiltered form matching the moment they were created. It’s the perfect music for living your life to and very engaging and rewarding on close listens where you can see musical themes develop and explore new sounds alongside Jen. If you don’t think you can be surprised by ambient music you need to listen to this. I’m extremely excited to have this in my podcast rotation to remind me to live in the moment. Highest recommendation!
