The catalogue

A world for every room

16 packages, 4–5 hours of instrumental music each, matched to a type of interior.

Spa & Stillness

Weightless, warm, unhurried.

A low tide of sound for rooms built around rest. Long, breathing pads and mineral textures hold the air still; nothing announces itself, nothing resolves too soon. Designed to lower the pulse of a treatment room without ever tipping into wallpaper.

5 h · 97 tracks→

Lounge & Lobby

Marble-and-glass downtempo.

The sound of arrival — check-in, first drink, the pause before the meeting. Poised downtempo and dusk-lit instrumentals for interiors with good sightlines: polished, spacious, quietly expensive. Composed to fill tall rooms without echoing in them, and to hold through the evening without asking to be noticed.

4 h · 91 tracks→

Sunset & Beach Club

Golden hour, held.

For terraces and pool decks where the evening arrives slowly. Warm organic house and unhurried downtempo — sun on skin, salt in the air, a pulse you feel rather than follow. Long filtered builds that never break, only open. The day ending well, on repeat.

5 h · 67 tracks→

Concept Noir

Low light, high intent.

For spaces that trade on atmosphere. Dark instrumental textures — smoke, weight, a slow architectural pulse — give a room edge without menace. Built for the kind of interior where the lighting is already doing half the work and the sound has to do the rest.

4 h · 56 tracks→

Gallery Drift

Air, light, and almost nothing.

Ethereal and near-weightless, for rooms where the objects are the point. Shimmering high textures and slow gestures move like light across a white wall — present enough to shape the space, transparent enough to disappear behind the work on show.

4 h · 63 tracks→

Tension & Mystery

Dread, dialed to taste.

Purpose-built suspense — dark ambience with a pulse of unease that you can lean on for a full session without fatigue. Drones, distant mechanisms, and a slow sense of something approaching. Engineered to carry a room's narrative, not to jump-scare it.

4 h · 78 tracks→

Nordic Calm

Clean, cool, and quietly designed.

Scandinavian in temperament — spare, cool-toned, and precise. Frost-clear pads and unhurried instrumentals give a room the same calm as good daylight and pale wood. Warmth without clutter, for interiors that say more with less.

5 h · 92 tracks→

Smooth Jazz

The most-requested room sound, minus the elevator.

Brushed drums, warm keys and a saxophone that knows when to stop talking. The genre venues ask for by name, produced with enough presence to dress a room and enough restraint to keep the conversation on top. Runs from lunch service to the last slow pour.

4 h · 81 tracks→

Bossa & Brazilian Chill

The global café default, with sea air.

Nylon strings, soft percussion and that unhurried Brazilian sway that makes any room feel closer to the coast. The default language of cafés worldwide — plus a bossa-house crossover lane that carries beach clubs from noon into golden hour.

4 h · 90 tracks→

Lo-Fi Café

The background sound of a generation.

Dusty beats, soft tape warmth and melodies that loop like a good afternoon. The largest background category of the streaming era, built here for commercial rooms — cafés, coworking floors and anywhere laptops open.

4 h · 88 tracks→

Piano & Neoclassical

The most conflict-free sound in commerce.

Solo piano and small strings, recorded close and played slow. Nothing to disagree with, nothing to tire of — the register that suits white tablecloths, treatment rooms and waiting rooms equally. Where taste must be invisible, this is the sound.

4 h · 101 tracks→

Acoustic Daylight

Morning light, on guitar.

Bright acoustic guitars, hand percussion, an easy mid-tempo optimism. The sound of a room with windows — brunch service, coffee counters, and boutiques that want warmth without sugar.

4 h · 94 tracks→

Soft House & Retail

Four-on-the-floor, without the club.

A steady, polite pulse for rooms where people move — fashion floors, showrooms, concept retail. House music with the aggression removed and the tailoring kept: rhythm enough to energise browsing, never enough to hurry it.

4 h · 89 tracks→

Riviera & Trattoria

The eternal Mediterranean table.

The soundtrack Italian and French dining rooms have run on forever — accordion and nylon guitar, coastal strings, a little vermouth in the tempo. Familiar without being specific, warm without kitsch.

5 h · 134 tracks→

Coming soon

Deep Focus

Quiet that holds attention.

A steady, low-information field for rooms where people think. Primordial drones and slow harmonic movement give the ear something to settle against without pulling it away from the page. No hooks, no vocals, no arrivals — just a floor for concentration.

5 h · 60 tracks→

Coming soon

Winter Holidays · Originals

December, without the fees.

Original seasonal music — sleigh-adjacent textures, warm bells, candlelit strings — composed from scratch for commercial rooms. Every venue needs December music and resents what it costs; this is the clean alternative: all of the season, none of the repertoire.

Informational, not legal advice. Tonarch holds the rights in both the musical works and the sound recordings, and neither is within the APRA AMCOS or PPCA repertoires — so you do not need a OneMusic licence for the Tonarch repertoire. Under s.108 of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) the copyright in a published sound recording is not infringed by public performance if equitable remuneration is paid to the copyright owner; this certificate is the direct licence that discharges that obligation for the Tonarch repertoire. Present the certificate and annex as documentation if OneMusic asks — it is evidence, not a OneMusic declaration. Any other music you play — radio, television, streaming services, live performance or staff playlists — remains your responsibility and will generally require a OneMusic licence. Confirm the requirements for your own situation.

The paper trail

A certificate for the inspector

If OneMusic contacts you, you present your Tonarch Licence Certificate — issued to your venue by name and address — with the repertoire annex listing every track. It names the rightsholder and confirms the works sit outside OneMusic (APRA AMCOS + PPCA) repertoire.

The name

Sound, built like a space.

Tonarch joins two roots. Ton — tone; the Latin tonus, the German Ton, the Greek tónos: the tension of a stretched string, the birth of a note. And arch, from arkhitéktōn, the master builder — the same root that gives us architect.

A Tonarch, then, builds with sound: it treats a room's atmosphere the way an architect treats its light and proportion — something designed, not decorated.

That isn't a metaphor we reached for. Tonarch comes from architects — people who spend their days on how a space holds you, how it feels before a word is spoken. We moved that discipline from stone to sound. Every package is a room you can hear, composed for the kind of space it belongs in.
