Not a recording. The sound is made while you listen.

Most ambient music online is a recording. It starts, it ends, and if you leave it running you hear the same minutes again. water surface has no loop point and no end to reach. Touch the surface and something starts. Touch it again somewhere else and the two begin to affect each other. Leave it alone and it keeps drifting on its own.

for focus
Endless by construction, so nothing arrives to pull your attention back: no track change, no restart, no silence at the end of a playlist.
for a room
In a café, a shop or a studio, it works as air rather than as music you are meant to notice.
to play with
It responds to touch, so it is closer to an instrument than to a generator you press start on.
