Traditional / experimental practice

The Storm Approaches

A thirty-minute journey: first distant thunder on the horizon, then the rain begins, the storm draws near, passes overhead and moves away. Procedurally synthesised, not recorded.

30 minNo headphones needed

The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.

Evidence

S · Soundscape, no claim

No health or mental-effect claim at all; it is simply a soundscape.

This session isn't linked to any claim of effect.

A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
