Still Here Without Effort is a listening episode centered on presence without performance. The sound does not ask for focus, insight, or change. It offers steadiness for moments when doing anything at all feels like too much.

This episode includes the following pieces, arranged to reduce demand over time:

  • I Leave Without Explaining — sound that affirms exit without justification
  • After Everything — a sustained field for the aftermath, without resolution
  • Nothing Needs to Happen — open, non-directed sound that remains without expectation

Together, these tracks create a quiet arc from boundary, to continuation, to rest. There is no instruction and no required way to listen. You are welcome to engage closely, let the sound remain in the background, or stop at any point.

This episode does not guide or resolve.
 It accompanies.
