Rain (ambience, sleep sound)

Post by jeanette_c »

Hey hey,
this is what it says on the tin: a carefully composed one hour texture of rain.
https://youtu.be/5Xgq4lpYOI8
All locally sourced around the house where I live. All in all, it is composed of 15 field recordings mmade with, mostly, the Zoom H4N and later with the Olympus LS/P4 handheld recorders.
The recordings were processed and "composed" in Csound, mostly adding fades, some stereo manipulation and filtering, for the blends.
It was designed as a sleep sound for my beloved. So literally "made with love". :)
Enjoy!

Next track: the sound of sunshine? :)

Your friend should listen to Biosphere too (The Senja Recordings are partly field-recorded, but other albums are great soundtracks to fall asleep to also: Substrata, Shenzhou, Angel's Flight are some of my favorites).

I particularly made her this, because she listened to rain the other night and it felt good to gift her with a rain of her very own and a way to experience the place where I live, albeit it a very damp impression. :)

Hi @psyocean , I suppose a video might be nice, but I'm not good with videos. :) OK, I know being blind is no longer a real hinderance. There are a few blind people around doing videos, with and without help. But I don't have the right equipment to work with my smartphone and other proprietary soft- and hardware. To some degree commercial stuff is necessary, unless I would spend even more money.
Thanks for the kind words on the rain soundscape and sorry for the rant.
