Composed, not played back.

A composer, an orchestra and a room, all running on your iPhone. Nothing streams; the music is written while you listen. Open the Engine view to watch every module and note.

Raumo’s Engine view of Deep Space, with its Clock, Seeded random, Distance, Unmask and Tame highs modules lifted out and joined by cables.

How a soundscape is made.

Follow the signal, from a world to your ears.

01World & soundscape6 worlds

A world and a soundscape.

Each soundscape sets a world’s instruments, a key, a tempo and a form. A fresh starting point makes each performance its own.

02ComposerA moment ahead

The composer writes.

Harmony, melodies, arpeggios and the bass are written a moment ahead, phrase by phrase, so they develop together instead of looping.

04Place5 places

Five places for the whole room.

Place shapes the space around every sound at once: how close it feels, how long it rings, where its echoes go.

  • Glass chamber

    Dense and bright, close notes.

  • Great hall

    A natural stage, early echoes.

  • Stone church

    Vast and dark, long stone tails.

  • Starry sky

    Tails rise an octave into light.

  • Fog

    Slow swells that become a bed.

Mood turns the composer and the room together. Five presets, Fall asleep, Dream, Storm, Starry night and Morning, set all six at once.

  • Night

    Night

    Day, Dusk, Night. How dark the whole room sounds.

  • Wide

    Open

    Close, Open, Wide. The size of the space around you.

  • Song

    Singing

    Hushed, Humming, Singing. How present the melody is.

  • Awake

    Sleepy

    Sleepy, Easy, Awake. The energy of the room.

  • Wind

    Breeze

    Still, Breeze, Windy. How much the music moves.

  • Colour

    Colourful

    Simple, Varied, Colourful. How rich the detail becomes.

  • Storm
  • Starry night
  • Morning
06YouStays on your iPhone

What Raumo listens to.

Raumo adapts to a few things it can know on your iPhone. Everything it learns about your taste stays there.

It follows

  • The part of the dayHome’s greeting and suggestions, and the Drift, Catalog and Nature playlists, follow the hour.
  • What you doRaumo learns from what you skip, keep, add or remove, and from what is still playing when your sleep timer ends. Reset taste lets it start afresh.
  • Your headWith headphones that report their movement, the room turns with you so its sounds stay where you placed them.
  • Your FocusA Focus mode can set Raumo’s suggestions to a mood or a world.

It never asks for

  • Health dataNo heart rate, sleep or activity data is read.
  • Your location or the weatherRaumo does not use them.
  • An accountThere is nothing to sign in to.
  • An internet connectionThe music is composed on your iPhone with sounds included in the app. Only iCloud sync and sharing a link go online.
