Every piece in the Tethered library is written, composed, voiced, and produced by Scottish creators trained in our methodology. Listen to samples below, and see how the work gets made.
The Tethered methodology was developed by Karen Kerr over twenty years of branding, storytelling, and content work. It's grounded in three principles: that wellness content has to be specific to the person and place to actually work, that voice and pacing matter as much as words, and that the best wellness content connects guests to where they are, not where they're not.
Every piece in the library is made by us and the methodology is not a guideline - it's the practice.
Four content types. Four samples from the library. Each one shows the texture of what we make.
Short narrative pieces that ground guests in the location. The character of the region. The traditions of the place. Researched, written, and voiced with the same methodology as the dreamscapes and music. Wellness as belonging, not just calm - the kind that makes a guest feel they've been somewhere, not just slept somewhere.
From the Highland series. 61 minutes.
Soundscapes are composed ambient audio that evokes specific sonic environments - a Highland glen at dawn, a coastal property at low tide, a forest in late summer. Composed, not field-recorded. Each one is engineered to ground guests in a place, used in-room as wind-down ambient, during turn-down service, in spa areas. Place becomes soundtrack.
From the Coastal series. 60 minutes.
Original ambient music composed for wind-down, focus, and rest. Written by musicians, not licensed from royalty libraries. Not generic spa playlists from streaming platforms. Tracks composed specifically for the moments they'll be used in - in-room ambient, lobby atmosphere, spa treatment background, evening wind-down. Every track is original. Every track is finished to release standard.
Original composition. 57 minutes.
Short narrative pieces that ground guests in the location. The history of the building. The character of the region. The traditions of the place. Researched, written, and voiced with the same methodology as the dreamscapes and music. Wellness as belonging, not just calm - the kind that makes a guest feel they've been somewhere, not just slept somewhere.
The Dream Makers of Skye. 7 minutes.
The audio player guests use to listen to your published library.
The Tethered library holds over 250 hand crafted pieces today, with new additions every month. Every Scottish property accesses the full catalogue - browse, listen, choose what fits your guests. Solo Essentials publishes 10. Solo Standard publishes 20. Professional publishes 20 per property. Enterprise publishes 30 per property, with continuous refresh. The library grows for everyone, at every tier.
Hand crafted by Scottish creators across four content types.
Fresh content added every month, available to every Scottish property.
Each engineered for a specific moment in the guest experience.
The work is made by people. The platform that delivers it to your guests is built by us - the guest-facing web app, the content management dashboard, the wellness tools. Every Scottish property gets the platform; the work it delivers is what varies by tier.
Solo Standard and above includes our active wellness suite - Breathwork (animated breathing exercises), Sleep Timer (custom audio playback timing), and Rescue Button (one-tap help for 3am wake-ups). Professional adds multi-property account management and estate-level analytics. Enterprise unlocks AI Companion - Gillie, a personalised guest assistant - and Journey Programmes for multi-stage digital and physical wellness experiences.
The 250+ library covers a wide range of wellness experiences for any Scottish property. But some properties want content composed specifically about them - dreamscapes set on their particular loch, soundscapes captured near their grounds, stories about their specific history and place. Made by our team, for that property alone.
Bespoke local content is available as a paid add-on on any tier. Bespoke pieces sit in addition to the property's library publishing limit. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on library size and complexity.
