What Makes
Our Relaxing Sounds
Different
I was cruising the Internet the other day
and was amazed to see how many sleep and nature sound
companies have popped up recently. I use the term
'sleep and nature sound companies' loosely as every other
Tom, Dick, and Harry is trying to become rich with the next
hot IPad or IPhone App. If they thought online cookbooks
would make them a few bucks we would see these very same
individuals cranking out virtual recipe Apps ... even though
many of them have trouble nuking a Hot Pocket. In other
words, their collective hearts are not into any one genre.
They are probably not insomniacs or suffer from any ailment
that prevents them from getting a good night's sleep. They
are in it for the money. With that said, it is also quite
apparent that they think insomniacs will buy into
'looped' sounds. Big problem: The human brain is really good
at pattern recognition. We could layer five different sounds
together; all on a 120 second loop, and your brain will not
only pick up on the pattern but, if you are anything like
me, will fixate on it. At that point the sounds themselves
become an irritant.
Our Naturally
Relaxing Sounds
What makes us different? The bulk of what we
do is combining sounds that promote visualization with naturally relaxing sounds. This
is simply because when we imagine we are beginning the process of sleep
as dreaming is one of the first things our big human brain
likes to do in the transition to deep sleep. This cannot be
done with looped nature sounds. Even our more conventional
sounds in Pure
Ambiance change over time. Why? Because, amongst other things,
I can't stand looped sounds.
That being said it becomes quite apparent
that Virtual Dreaming does not fit, at this time, into a
nice little IPad App.
Does Fog Make
a Sound?
Can fog makes sounds?? Yes, if it early
morning fog condensing into water and falling on leaves.
I recorded this continuous unedited sound this morning, Sept
28th. It's best when heard through earphones. You can
also hear a steady wind through the trees and you might hear
a far off truck at 1:40 but, like I said, it is unedited.
