Only Seltzer
Very Relaxing Ambient Noise.
We really just enjoy listening to nothing. Sounds of nature, sounds of the city. These are the sonic events we experience everyday in our lives, tuned in a way to create soothing noise to bathe your mind.
We use a Sony PCM D-50 recorder and an Olympus LS-10 to record our environments, in addition to Soma Synths' Ether (read more about it here: https://somasynths.com/ether/)
A nice long tone manipulation from sound recorded in 2020 on 59th Street off 9th ave in NYC
Envelope. Spatial. Delay.
Ooooooooooooooh.
Relax your mind.
Let your conscience be free.
Believe me.
You need to chill.
A lot of spatial mixing, playing around trying to work with the flys and other animals touching the mic while this was set up in the woods.
MIGHT NOT BE BEST THING FOR SLEEPING
I find this relaxing, meditative as well as jarring at times. It was fun to edit, and I'm enjoying listening to this. It's a trip, and leaves me feeling clearer and more relaxed. Or maybe it's just me. Enjoy.
The story here is taking us on a ride on a ferry in NYC, from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and then to a park on the east river on the Williamsburg side, all against the backdrop of a recording of the ocean pulling through rocks on a small island in Alaska.
A little quick one here.
This was made with the Sony PCM-D50 near Seward, Alaska on a small island looking out at the ocean.
The tide was pulling through a mess of stones that made this nice hollow clanging sound that ends up being soothing to the ears.
Good for a quick meditation on the train or just a mid-day calm down.
An ode to Environments, as always. See the link below to learn about the Environments series, a collection of field recordings by Irv Teibel.
In Pennsylvania, with a Sony PCM-D50

Rain in June, complete with faint sounds of Water Street in Manhattan.
This was recorded using an old Made in Taiwan school tape recorder and my Sony PCM-D50. The tracks are layered on top of each other and left mostly unmixed.
