Washing Machine

A washing machine on a slow wash: the deep hum of the turning drum, the motor and water sloshing behind the glass; now and then it pauses and turns the other way. Procedurally synthesised, not recorded.

1 hNo 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.
