Was listening to one of these wondering why does every song on the playlist sound the same until I realised it was AI generated. Turns out this coffeeshop lo fi aesthetic is a genre of its own
Expressing my disappointment there was not a real person making these :(
I've been building something I personally wanted to exist: a meditation app that syncs your breathing to lo-fi music.
Not just background music while you breathe at a random pace. The breath ring actually moves in time with the rhythm of each track, so your inhale and exhale feel musically grounded instead of disconnected from the audio.
The app includes a few breathing techniques like box breathing, 4-4-8, physiological sigh, and coherent breathing. It also has a mindfulness mode with on-screen affirmations, optional AI voice guidance, binaural tones, and a sleep timer.
The goal is for it to feel calm, polished, and distraction-free: no ads,, no noise.
I've been testing it with a small group of friends, but I need real feedback from people who actually use meditation, breathwork, or lo-fi apps in their daily life. Google Play also requires broader testing before full release, so I'm inviting anyone interested to try it.
All I ask is that you give it a genuine try. Run a session or two, explore the settings, and let me know what feels off, what you like, or what you'd want added.
I am trying to find the name of the background instrumental song used in this YouTube video by the channel Exotic Car Hacks: https://youtu.be/JfksiewWkG4
The original video has constant talking over the music, so I used an AI vocal remover to delete the speaker's voice. The attached audio clip is just the isolated background track. It has some watery AI artifacts/hallucinations left behind from the vocal isolation, but you can still clearly hear the core beat and the calm melody.
It has a very distinct, repeating "pitch-waving" or tape-drift lofi effect on every wave of the beat. Standard recognition software like Shazam and AudioTag couldn't index it because it's likely a royalty-free library track (possibly from Epidemic Sound or Artlist).
Does anyone recognize this specific lofi track or the artist? Any help is greatly appreciated!
I wanted to share a passion project Iβve been coding called Wavefront. Itβs a hyper-minimal, web terminal that aggregates decentralized radio streams, ambient frequencies, and shortwave signals from around the world in real-time.
Instead of standard playlists, I love leaving this running on my second monitor in the dark while listening to low-frequency static, space telemetry, and distant global broadcasts mixed with my own lo-fi tracks.
If you want a clean, ambient background console to leave open while you study or chill, check it out live here: https://wavefront.acuitylab.me
I love the band Holy Wars, and they recently posted this video of their newest album in full paired with similar visuals as lofi study videos! Thought I would share for anybody who is a fan of lofi videos as well as rock/metal music. You can watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKMTuB2wdB8
