MRI Calm — Day 02: Settled In · Even Hours · Quiet Exit

Day two is built to feel familiar. Not “new,” not “different,” not attention-seeking. The goal is simple: a steady environment where the listener doesn’t have to track what the music is doing. This is calm through predictability.

By Day 02, the body typically stops negotiating with the moment. The machine becomes part of the room. Time stretches, not dramatically, but evenly. That’s the exact space today’s tracks are written for: long scans, long shifts, or long stillness.


Track 1 — Settled In

Settled In is the moment after the initial “okay, we’re doing this” phase. It’s not a beginning—more like the second exhale, when you realize the room is stable and you can stop bracing. The harmony moves slowly on purpose, and the textures stay soft so nothing feels sharp or urgent.

If you’re listening during a scan, this is the part where the music should blend into the background and stop competing with the machine sounds. If you’re an MRI tech, this is the track that’s meant to sit under routine—steady, present, and non-demanding.

🎧 Optional Long-Form Listening (1)

If you want something to keep running after today’s set, here’s an optional long-form playlist. Separate from MRI Calm—just extra continuity.

Album 1 — Smokey Texas Blues Jam

Track 2 — Even Hours

Even Hours is the plateau. This is “nothing happens” as a feature, not a bug. The point is to remove the feeling of a beginning and the pressure of an ending. It’s a steady surface: slow harmonic motion, minimal melodic behavior, and dynamics that refuse to spike.

If the first track helps you settle, this track helps you stay settled. It is built for the middle stretch—where the mind usually tries to invent a story (“How long has it been?” “How much longer?”). The music’s job is to give the brain fewer reasons to ask those questions.

🎧 Optional Long-Form Listening (2)

Another long-form option if you prefer leaving audio running during work or downtime. Separate from MRI Calm.

Album 2 — Smokey Delta River Blues

Track 3 — Quiet Exit

Quiet Exit is not a finale. It doesn’t “wrap up” or point at a finish line. It just gradually reduces density—fewer changes, softer edges, longer tail—so the transition out of stillness feels gentle.

For listeners who are anxious, the end of a scan can create its own spike: “Okay, now what?” This track is designed to avoid that. It eases the atmosphere without prompting the brain to snap back to alert mode.

🎧 Optional Long-Form Listening (3)

A third long-form option if you like leaving something steady running while you work. Separate from MRI Calm.

Album 3 — King of the Delta River Blues
