Moon Haze

Moon Haze is a hum you feel more than hear. Nearly everything in it lives at the very bottom of the range, a deep F with a bare fourth above it, and the rest of the file sits so far down it barely registers. On headphones or a real speaker it fills the room. On a phone it more or less vanishes.

What you will and will not hear

Most of this file lives below the range a phone or laptop speaker can produce. On those you will hear the faint upper partials and lose the hum the loop is built around. On headphones or a speaker with real low-end reach it becomes a different sound entirely. That gap between devices is larger here than for any other loop in the group.

There is no chord to speak of. F and A sharp at the bottom is a bare fourth, and the remaining components are too quiet to establish anything. The loop runs 32 seconds with no attacks in it and very little swelling.

The same root as Starlight Flow

Starlight Flow is rooted on the same low F, within a fraction of a hertz of this file. The two diverge above that. Starlight Flow carries an audible F minor triad, so you hear harmony; this one leaves its upper register so far down that you hear weight and nothing else. Neither is a version of the other, and the choice is between a chord and a hum.

Low frequencies pass through floors and walls more readily than anything else, so keep the volume down in a shared building. For weight without pitch, generated brown noise covers the same ground broadband, or the Moon Haze and rain blend in the free sound mixer adds detail on top.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I barely hear Moon Haze on my phone?

Its strongest note sits well below what a phone speaker can reproduce. You are hearing only the quiet upper partials.

What note is it?

A deep F, with an A sharp above it making a bare fourth. Everything else in the file is far quieter.

Is it the same as Starlight Flow?

They share a root note and nothing else. Starlight Flow carries an audible F minor chord above it; this file leaves the upper register far down.

Will it disturb neighbours?

It can at volume. Low frequencies travel through structure better than mid or high ones, and this loop is almost entirely low frequency.
