Relaxing Nature Sounds

Bamboo Fountain & Lotus Music | 15 Minutes

Picture yourself sitting in a botanical garden. A bamboo fountain pours water into a stone basin. Music finds it's way through the foliage. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the fountain 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
This is the first time I've tried mixing in music. I was digging through sound files when I happened upon something called "Lotus Music" by nemaavla. You can hear the original file here: https://freesound.org/people/nemaavla/sounds/507957/ Well, as I was listening I started thinking this might be nice mixed with the bamboo fountain I'm working on. So here we are with our first guided relaxation/ meditation soundscape with music.

Japanese Bamboo Fountain | One Hour

Picture yourself strolling through a botanical garden. You happen upon a bamboo fountain splashing water into a stone basin. Your fingers touch the meniscus. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the fountain 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:
When I was young my father used to take me to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. There’s a Japanese garden in the park. I remember climbing over this round bridge and thinking that was one of the coolest things in the world. I’m sure you could probably hear the sounds of the city in the distance. But this is how I recall that park sounding.
I hope by listening to the bamboo fountain soundscape you find happiness and calmness.

English Garden with Wind Chimes | One Hour

Picture yourself sitting in a back garden in the English countryside. Birds swoop through the trees and down through the flowers. A light wind blows moving wind chimes every so often. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the countryside 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:
My friend Josh has a back garden in Brighton. The last few times I’ve talked to him, he’s always been trying to get some precious few hours of sun in that garden. It’s almost like at any moment a rain cloud might happen by and spoil his back garden time. So, this one’s for Josh. When it gets cold outside he can put this on, turn up the electric heater, and pretend it’s summer in his garden.
I hope by listening to it you find happiness and calmness.

Under The Waterfall (No Birds For Sleep) | One Hour

Picture yourself standing in a pool of water. You step forward and wet your hair under the cascading waterfall. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the waterfall 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:
My cat, Diego, is a little assassin. He uses my shower as his kill room. Many a morning I’ve woken up to a scene of blood and feathers on the tile floor. Usually it’s a bird. Sometimes a mouse. But this morning when I pulled back the shower current I found a snake. I could feel my heart racing even though it was obviously dead. Even after nudging it with a broom to make sure, I still felt anxious. And so I skipped on the shower and started making these new soundscapes. My intention was to create a soundscape that made you feel like you were in the center of a waterfall and the water was rushing over you.
I hope by listening to it you find happiness and calmness.

Varanasi Banks of Ganges | One Hour

Picture yourself standing on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. The river laps against the boats. A fire burns. Relax and close your eyes. Let the hum pull away your anxiety. Focus on the hum. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.
Why I made this soundscape:
I never made it up north to Varanasi. For some reason I thought traveling around India would be a breeze. But as soon as I landed in Mumbai things started to sink in. The vastness of where I was became apparent. I quickly changed my plans from circling the country on trains to staying down south for the duration of my trip. So, I may not have seen the River Ganges, but based on my trip to India this is what I image it sounds like.
I hope by listening to this soundscape you find happiness and calmness.

Wetlands & Spring Peepers (No Birds For Sleep) | One Hour

Picture yourself lying in a canoe drifting through the wetlands. Spring peepers sing in the distance. The water laps against the shore. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the wetlands pull away your anxiety. Focus on the chorus of frogs. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.
Why I made this soundscape:
My friend’s daughter went frog hunting in the backyard. She’s around five, has a tiny bow and arrow. Her dad and I sat on the back stoop sipping whisky while watching the mosquito light. After a while his daughter ran up to us with a frog impaled on an arrow. “He stopped singing,” she said. “Make him sing.”
I hope by listening to this soundscape you find happiness and calmness.
