Choose a feeling. Follow a different path.

The listening calendar.

From warm bookshops to blue-hour cities, forest paths and open skies. Explore the planned music and atmosphere for each session.

A planned calendar, not a live-status feed. Programs and music selections may change. All listed times are Toronto time; clock-change nights retain our 11½-hour maximum.

Small moments. Beautiful places.

Find your kind
of quiet.

A lantern-lit street. A bookshop after closing. Footsteps beneath the trees. A city seen from somewhere warm.

Our listening sessions bring original AI-generated music together with illustrated worlds, original walking footage and occasional credited archival journeys. Ame is our small companion along the way.

Choose the mood that suits your day: intimate and piano-led, open and melodic, softly rhythmic, or spacious enough to think.

Bring your work.
Or just bring yourself.

We’ll take care of a little music and a place to settle.
