Alertness

Tense, dark atmospheres that keep your senses switched on.

Alertness soundscapes are tense, dark and deliberately uncomfortable. High-pitched textures, glitches and constant pressure keep your senses switched on, which makes them useful for late-night work, gaming, thrillers and horror, or any time you need to shake off drowsiness.
