Your timing is eerily perfect as always. I had to pause my spooky ambient video (for spooky book reading) to read this, chomping on my third Chupa Chup pacifier to stave off nicotine cravings.

If you like vibe-mixing, have you tried MyNoise.net? I like to mix Frog Pond, Church, and Japanese Garden, with the human voices, big bells, and organ sounds shut off. It's my "working in an otherworldly garden monastery" mix.

Thank you for the bird's wing link.

I'm up to my eyes struggling with college assignments and working around the general crisis and this was perfectly timed to calm my mind perfectly. Thank you so much.

This is the exact background compilation I never knew I needed. I've been using solo piano/string quartet covers (no vocals) for writing but catch myself trying too hard to remember all the words to "Oh Darlin" and "Gold Digger" and bam, distracted. These are so much better.

I hear voices in the tearoom! They are in the other room chatting merrily about something! I'm going to go under the bird's wing now.

Back here 9 months later to say this has been the only thing keeping me coping!

I'm hella into this album of koshi chimes. It's music-sounding but not music? Like a cross between a music box and a washing machine. A washing machine for yr brain when you're so so tired of overhearing your spouse's work conference calls.

1. This post has really altered the course of the last 48 hours for me, and I thank you.

2. Not a jellyfish heartbeating its way through the softest notes of the ocean, but this sea turtle sojourn in the aquamarine waters of Eleuthera is meeting many of my vibe requirements at the moment:

I'm so glad that other people find the same comfort in these niche little soundscapes as I do. Personally, these two by Seahouse Ambience have become very closely intertwined with entire sense of self-actualisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWR5hzw9a24 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TsDI2YL0Qk
