It's nothing super technical, just a fun little project I did with my sister over the weekend to show the YC Fellowship folks that we can ship something together.

Simple concept - loop these tracks on your favorite streaming music service while you work, meditate, or sleep and all royalty payouts will go directly to Watsi & charity:water.

In my mind it's the equivalent of donating spare CPU cycles to SETI or script-clicking those "donate rice to a hungry child" ads.

Idea came from a combination of two things - a band who uploaded silent tracks and had their fans stream them to generate tour money, and Taylor Swift accidentally uploading a track of static that hit #1 on iTunes.

There are tons of ambient noise & nature tracks people use for work, meditation, sleep, etc. available on all of the music services. The only difference is we're putting our royalties to good use!
