Picture yourself sauntering down the Champs-Élysée. A light rain drips down from an overcast sky. Suddenly, the sound of thunder cracks across the city. You dart into a cafe as the rain changes to a downpour and order a café noisette. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the rolling thunder pull away your anxiety. Focus on the sound of the tropical rain. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene. LISTEN TO OUR ALBUM: https://relaxingnaturesounds.bandcamp... Why I made this soundscape: A couple years ago I was dating this girl. We both lived in Paris at the time. In the middle of July she had to go up to the US to clear out a storage unit and was gone for two weeks. While she was gone I wanted to send her something to remind her of home. One evening, when it was forecast to rain, I made my way outside the city to Chartres and recorded this thunder storm. This Thunderstorm in Paris Soundscape is that recording. I hope by listening to it you find happiness and calmness.

Picture yourself floating towards the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. The river laps against the boats. As you get closer you hear the sound of the fire burning. Relax and close your eyes. Focus on the hum. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.

A Journey Begins Album: ⁠https://relaxingnaturesounds.bandcamp.com/album/a-journey-begins

This is the eighth track of our album. You can listen to the whole thing over on Bandcamp. Each track is a new fifteen-minute soundscape for reflectionand meditation. Special thanks to Lady Zen.

Picture yourself strolling barefoot down an old dock onto the sand. The summer crowds have long since left.  You sit down near the waves and watch the place where water meets shore. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the sea pull away your anxiety. Focus on the soothing sound of nature. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.

Why I made this soundscape:

I started making these soundscapes for myself. I had a lot of anxiety during the pandemic and listening to stuff like this was the only way to drift off at 3 AM. Now, I’m thinking about stopping. We’ve made 70 soundscapes. Millions of people have listened to them. And I’m working on ascript for an underwater horror movie.
