# Naturespace — Complete Track Reference > 162 immersive spatial nature recordings captured with precision 3D microphone technique. Every track is a real place, recorded to preserve direction, distance, movement, and depth. Available on iOS in 10 languages. Website: https://naturespace.org App: https://apps.apple.com/app/naturespace/id432799491 For a concise overview, see: https://naturespace.org/llms.txt --- ## Accessibility Naturespace was built to be used by people who cannot see the screen, with comprehensive VoiceOver support added in 2014 and maintained ever since. Every interactive element in the app has an explicit, human-written VoiceOver label, and those labels are translated into all 10 supported languages, so blind users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Brazil, mainland China, and Taiwan hear the app in their own language. A custom view container, written specifically for Naturespace, groups related elements (track title, duration, download status) into a single coherent VoiceOver announcement instead of fragmented pieces. The app contains no animation by design, which makes it inherently compatible with users requiring Reduce Motion settings, and with vestibular and migraine-sensitive listeners. Track descriptions throughout the catalog are written as evocative literary prose, in 10 languages, so when VoiceOver reads them aloud blind listeners receive the place described in language rather than only in sound. The app has received public five-star reviews from blind, visually impaired, and VoiceOver-using listeners in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Norway, dated 2019 to 2026, with attributed quotes available at https://naturespace.org/en/accessibility. --- ## Tracks ### Abundance Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/abundance Rocky Mountain National Park, 7am, spring. The stream washes through the glen, as a cool breeze descends along its length. Active and spacious, the birds convey nothing but praise for the bounty before them. It must be like a candy world, with delicious gumdrops and jelly beans, just ripe after the morning dew, that dangle from the minty leaves as the lemonade cascades down the cinnamon riverbank. Butterscotch sunflowers drip their nectar onto the frosted ants, who gum up into a crunchy sweetness that's goes perfectly with the licorice twiglets that are so copious that they create a carpet on the forest floor. Singing seems the obvious thing to do. ### Across the Vast Valley Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/acrossthevastvalley Deep, low, swirling alpine winds in the distance with sparse birds. Be careful not to listen too loud; this is a quiet place. This track highlights the vast space in the valley. Virtually free of echo, the birds are neatly tucked into the gentle roar of the wind. With literally nothing in the near or mid field, this sound is all distance. Focus on the largeness of the space, and how slowly the winds shift from left to right. ### Aegir Collections: Thunderstorms Listener reviews: 33 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/aegir The Giant, King of the Sea. Worshipped and feared by sailors, he would appear on the surface to take ships, men, and cargo to his hall at the bottom of the ocean. Waves pound against the hull of the ship that creaks slowly as it progresses northward into the storm. Best with good headphones. Aegir is unique in that it takes place on a giant wooden sailing vessel. The ship creaks as it rolls through the waves, with many large ones breaking over the deck of the ship. Rain and wind are constant, and the motion of the ship is felt as the horizon bobs in and out of view. Thunder is not the main focus here, it is more about the overall experience of being at sea during a storm. ### Afterglow Collections: Staff Favorites, Abstract, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/afterglow The sky wears the forest like a mask, hiding its identity as the night envelops the fading light. The colors above begin to swirl and combine, interlaced with thin ribbons of cirrus iridescence. Stars and planets begin to sparkle through the evolving atmospheric tapestry, with brightest Venus dancing and descending into the trees. The forest embraces her, filling the air with notes of jasmine, and pulses in tandem with her hypnotic rhythm. The veil of daylight is released. The nocturnal song of the forest sweeps through the trees as the wash of the river creates a blanket of tranquility. Soft and airy percussion is interwoven with the natural rhythms while a warping and shifting bed of tonality wanders throughout. This track is mesmerizing and uplifting, excellent for meditation, massage, yoga, or any activity in which you wish to nurture mind-body connection. Designed to play for a long period of time without feeling annoying or repetitive, this track projects a wonderful ambience over speakers and is extremely immersive and 3D under headphones. ### Alchemy Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/alchemy Multiple vortices of fire, dancing along a ribbon of light, march slowly and steadily eastward. The dry brush is consumed easily and gently until a wind from the west snatches the heat from the flame and spews it like gasoline across the forest floor. The mood intensifies. The air swirls in deep, baritone rushes of wind, spawning tornadoes of fire three meters high that warp and flicker in the turbulent heat. The fire is alive now, breathing oxygen, sucking it in like a ghost who has come to life, if only for a brief moment, and is intent on making the most of it. But the fickle wind wanes and pulses, preventing the fire from attaining the self-sustaining critical mass of destruction. As the wind subsides, the spirit of the fire becomes a child. The old-growth trees look down upon all of it and are simply glad about the haircut. It was getting messy down there. This is a very unique track that is greatly influenced by how you play it. Over speakers, it makes for a wonderful campfire sound with a wide and immersive expanse, the snaps and pops of the tinder emanating along the entire length of the fire. Under headphones, the experience of being in a burning forest is brought to life. The detail and character of the swirling vortices are unmistakeable and vivid. The shifting attitude of the fire is remarkable and provides a glimpse of how a natural fire can intensify so quickly and easily. This is a purely benevolent fire that begins naturally and ends peacefully. It is not a full blown conflagration. The trees are unbothered; only the ground brush is burnt. If you listen closely, you can hear the very distant coyotes shouting about the smoke across the hillside. ### Amber Aspen Wind Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/amberaspenwind Gusty winds pulse through a mid-autumn forest of Aspen trees, caressing the red and yellow leaves. Light crickets are counterpoint to the soft breezes that waft about overhead in the thin, dry rustling of the Aspen. This track is almost exclusively wind with few birds. ### Ante Meridiem North Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/antemeridiemnorth Mid-morning, in a forest near the boundary waters. Birds sing and chirp as they work, and woodpeckers tap into the timber as a gentle breeze wafts through the trees. An active and delightful day ambience. ### Astral Premonition Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/astralpremonition Opulent drones and lush synthesis, supported by a spatially oscillating tabla rhythm, inset into a bed of evening ambience; very meditative for those who like an ethereal film-scoring feel folded into space, the Naturespace way. Good for studying or concentrating, excellent at masking external noise. ### Ataraxis Collections: Thunderstorms, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/ataraxis The sky churns and swirls in a cauldron of dark vapor, pent up with electrons seeking balance. Below, in the ravine of a forest, you are perched on a small wooden bridge with a mountain stream that runs beneath. Deep rumbles tear into the fabric of the atmosphere and roll across the night sky as the rain begins to increase. Slowly the storm progresses from a light rain to a torrential downpour. The rain is dispersed softly and evenly across the woods. As the land becomes saturated, the stream becomes a river, filling beyond capacity and racing down the crevasse. This vivid and immersive storm contrasts the tension of the powerful sky against the spacious and soothing ambience of rain in the forest. It is hypnotic and engaging, with rumbling thunder that does not frighten, but is actually incredibly relaxing. This is one of the most detailed and pleasant storms yet, and it is extremely long with a clear evolution of intensity. The raindrops occasionally strike the bridge, adding a tangible sense of the surroundings. There are no crickets, birds, or other wildlife present; this is pure rain and thunder. Warm, pleasant, clear, relaxing, detailed, dynamic and vivd, this epic track is excellent with both speakers and headphones alike. A classic Naturespace thunderstorm, Ataraxis is highly recommended for all storm enthusiasts. ### Avian Dawn Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/aviandawn Ducks, geese, loons, cranes, and several hundred other birds gather in the estuary, nestled into a low fog. The light of the sunrise beams low through the tall grass, and sparkles in the shallow water as the avifauna bathe in the warm morning air. Very busy wildlife, highly active and entertaining. ### Back Home Collections: Rain, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 49 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/backhome A nice solid drenching in a suburban environment. A micro-deluge spills from the downspout, and rain splashes on the concrete and pings the metal patio furniture. Warm but not humid air makes it pleasant to stand in. Wind is at a minimum. Some very distant thunder is present. While it is a suburban environment, there are no cars or voices, just rain. ### Beneath the Dreaming Trees Collections: Staff Favorites, Evenings, Wind, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 19 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/beneaththedreamingtrees Mid-summer night. The pleasant winds spread through the timber above, and pulse in the blanket of long grasses below. A wide variety of trees and soft grass create an inviting and peaceful place to rest in the comfort and safety of the benevolent forest. Best with headphones as the winds swirl above you. ### Black Sand Beach Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 7 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/blacksandbeach The crimson-blue Pacific ocean washes steadily onto the coarse, black, volcanic sand. Waves terminate with a uniquely lovely fizz not heard from the fine white sand of most beaches. As with most oceans, when listened to quietly it is very relaxing and spacious. Progressively louder listening levels create more intensity and increases proximity. Good for masking external noise. ### Black Sands of Reynisfjara Collections: Waves Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/reynisfjara Black volcanic sand disappears under the surf as the ocean heaves itself onto the shore with beautiful crashes of white. Large basalt columns and cliffs line the beach in gravity-defying needles and spires. The shore of Reynisfjara on Iceland’s south coast is famous for its alien landscape and the incredible strength and unpredictability of its waves. If you visit here, never turn your back to the ocean. This track was recorded at the base of steep cliffs of basalt rock known as Reynisdrangar, which reflect the sound of the waves back out to sea, creating an immersive and detailed sound that pulls you in deep. Both powerful and soft, the unique landscape and the magical volcanic black sand give the cold water of the North Atlantic a compelling place to crash ### Boudoir of the Hive Queen Collections: Sci-Fi Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/boudoirofthehivequeen She is dormant now. You look around; nothing familiar. Where are you? Who is she? Why did the swarm spare you? Got to find a way out of here. If only you could automatically summon your shuttlecraft with your iPhone! But alas, you only do free apps. She would probably wake up and sting you anyway. ### Brainwash Collections: Rivers Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/brainwash Cool rivers wash and swirl around you, calming you, soothing your brain. The space that is outlined by the slowly drifting waters expand and widen your sense of horizon and depth, while gently washing your thinking engine with cool mountain spring water. Best under headphones, great on earbuds. ### Campfire Hypnosis Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 56 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/campfirehypnosis Why is it that fire can induce a trance like nothing else? Is it so deeply embedded into our DNA that we somehow connect with the timeless experience of sitting in front of the fire? Are we tapping into the Akashic, drawing down someone else’s memory like the flame draws in air? Heat radiates outward to warm your face and hands. It is calm now. Quiet. Peaceful. And you are safe. ### Camping in the Rain Collections: Rain, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 26 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/campingintherain The day's plans are put on hold, and that’s just fine with you. A long and dynamic track that goes from mellow to moderately in tents. ### Cascadia River Collections: Rivers Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/cascadiariver Medium waterfall slightly above and to the left, with a steady run-off on the right. Mid to near proximity, depending on how loud you are listening. This is a pure riverbank perspective of exclusively river water, no birds or wind. Good for masking external noise on either speakers or headphones. ### Cathedral Collections: Wind, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 11 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/cathedral Wind comes tumbling down the mountainside like giant boulders rolling downhill. The trees chorus in unison as the community of leaves all surrender their individual voices to become one voice, the voice of the wind, which in and of itself is silent. It needs a partner to make sound. The trees are all too happy to give themselves, to be the instrument of their favorite song. What was a rather intense and dynamic wind is quite pleasant when listened to softly. There are no other sounds except the wind in the trees. Perfect for adding a nice sense of outdoor space while reading. Possibly too dynamic for sleeping. Best on headphones. ### Cloudburst Collections: Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/raincamp October 10th, 6 miles in, on the single-track that wanders east. Only 15 minutes earlier, the sky was clear blue with warm, early afternoon sunlight. But in a matter of minutes, a cold front pushes through carrying the fresh smell of rain in the air. So we turn back and go to the small shelter we had just passed moments ago. The timing was perfect. There is a magical simplicity to being stuck in a downpour. There’s just something about being forced to sit... and wait... for it to stop. Living in cities and towns means that for the most part, we do not get stuck in downpours very often. We usually just get a little wet going from the car to the house. But being out in the wild, especially in the mountains, it happens almost every day. And each time it happens it forces you to find a dry spot (if you can) and just sit down and watch the amazing event that is the cycle of water. Rain is life. Nature is the boss. And here you are. This track has some unique characteristics due to the presence of a roof without walls. It results in a listening experience that has most of the sonic activity in the mid-field and far-field. Having no raindrops close to you feels different; it's softer and more ambient. You can sense the shelter and the way the rain spills off the roof into puddles. The ground quickly became over-saturated. Another aspect that makes this track unique is the quick onset of rain on previously dry land and the cooling that is occurring in the air. Because sound travels through the air, this thermal-transitioning air mass affects the sonics; you can almost hear the temperature dropping. So the emphasis of this track is focused around the detailed mood and feel of the environment. It is steady and even with nothing to distract you, so it works great for studying and focusing on work as well as a reliable ambience for sleeping. It is very spacious under headphones. ### Cumulus Aquae Collections: Staff Favorites, Waves, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 22 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/windoverwave The infinite exhale of wind and waves pushes against the land with massive energy. Water, air and sunlight mix and glisten white where they meet, as the wind snatches micro-droplets from the chaotic clouds of water and hurls them on a high speed ride above the surface before sending them back into the turbulent sea. Steady and unrelenting, the sound dominates the atmosphere as you lean into the wind. This is a very unique and flexible track whose qualities depend upon how you play it. Over speakers, it perfectly re-creates the ambience of sleeping by the ocean. Quietly under headphones, it is a soothing and relaxing space of soft, diffuse washes of sound and very little detail from the waves. Played loudly, it is intense and best captures the actual reality of the scene, which had a strong and steady offshore wind. This track is extremely effective at masking external sounds and distractions; it is very consistent with nothing to pull your attention away from what you are doing, be it studying, working at a computer, or sleeping. It's one of nature's finest versions of white noise, and a lot better than using a fan to create an ambience in a room that is too quiet or to camouflage your partner's snoring. ### Daybreak Songbirds Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 129 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/daybreaksongbirds A classic morning ambience, dense with song from many different birds; this is a great way to start off the day. Mourning doves gently beckon you to awaken, the cardinals are somewhat more insistent. Bright positive air with a strong sense of immersion, this track doesn’t take long to brighten your mind at any point in the day. Great on speakers and headphones. ### Deep Autumn Flight Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 7 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/deepautumnflight It’s mostly geese. Honkers fly-by and gurgle and obviously, honk. “And they splish splash in the waddy too” says baby, smiling so bright. “That’s right, honey” says Grandpa with a wink. With a strong sense of the season, the cool temperature is felt through the late afternoon winds. Highly 3D with an excellent sense of the various distances. ### Dettifoss - Pure White Collections: Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/dettifoss Europe’s most powerful waterfall rages perpetually, launching 200 cubic meters of water over its edge every second. The immense force of the water rumbles the surroundings as the mist is carried like rain along a cascading wind that swirls dramatically in the canyon below. This track was recorded dangerously close to the waterfall, which is so large that there is virtually no sonic detail that is identifiable. This is the purest white noise of the three, obscuring all unwanted distractions with its sheer power. When listened to quietly, the steady, unchanging sound gently fills a room with a lovely blanket of white. However, when played loudly over good headphones, the sound turns into a monster, revealing massive shifting tones in the low end of the spectrum that evolve and change over time ### Dream Machines Collections: Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/dreammachines Dreamy colors of locomotion swirl around a delicate thread of tonality designed to soothe and inspire. The acoustics of rail travel are a perfect tool for masking unwanted external noise. This track was created primarily as an ambience for sleeping, allowing the soft sounds of distant horns and whistles and the clacking and creaking of the trains to fill the space, with no sudden loud sounds or horns to disturb sleep. There is a strong sense of mood, and has the tendency to evoke memories and nostalgic feelings. It adds a wonderful immersive sense of drama while reading or studying, and is an excellent tool for eliminating sonic distractions of all kinds. ### Dreamflight Collections: Newest Releases, Abstract Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/dreamflight Inside a massive A-frame cabin, three giant industrial fans turn with slow, deliberate weight, pushing long, steady currents through the wooden interior. Their broad steel blades are tuned to perfect fifths, creating a deep, drifting harmony that fills the space with a hypnotic and resonant density. The sound is steady, patient, and strangely comforting. The fans drift in and out of agreement with the same wandering cadence once heard in long-range propeller aircraft, where harmony wasn’t aesthetic but essential. Asynchronous engines could shake a frame apart; aligned ones kept it steady over vast water. That same symmetry lives here, moving the air, creating the space, and transporting you. She is a machine built for endurance, and within her aerial-bound wooden frame, you become suspended in the harmony. Thick and rich, this track is the ultimate noise mask. The slow, natural drift of the fans creates a dense field of tones that settle over the room like a weighted blanket of sound, softening whatever the night brings and making even stubborn disruptions fade into the background. It offers the kind of relief you feel immediately, especially when sleep has been hard to reach. ### Echolocation Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/echolocation 3am, outside the mouth of a bat cave on one of the Bay Islands of Honduras. The bats fly in circles in almost complete silence— at least to our ears. However, this track reveals their secret world, brought into sonic visibility by slowing the sound down and placing the various chirps and pings across the musical range from bass through soprano. When we slow down the sounds, not only do we hear the bats with great detail, but the spaces they are navigating become clear as well. The bats use their chirps and tones to hear the landscape as their sonar reflects off the forest. This is an incredibly vivid experience as they slowly move through the space around you. You can feel the humid environment and visualize the island forest. We have not altered these sounds beyond slowing down the speed; the sonic reflections are all real. No other effects processing occurred. This track was designed to impart a relaxing evening mood that is contemplative and conducive to creative thinking, as well as making a great ambience for Halloween. We recommend playing it softly over speakers in the evening by candlelight. Under headphones it is both engaging and immersive. It is quite long with unique details throughout. The slowed-down bats are inset into the ambience they were in at the time. This space, which has light crickets, chirping geckos, and occasional gentle breezes, is unaltered. ### Electric Desert Sunset Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/electricdesertsunset The temperature drops rapidly as the sun descends below the sky-land boundary. As the atmosphere cools, the sky blushes red, fading into a deep crimson glow. Wind pushes through the canyon with a steady rush, tickling the dry foliage. Soft, steady crickets rehearse for the evening as the stars appear. Birds and bugs flit about and conclude the day’s efforts in anticipation of a cool, dry night of respite beneath the glow of the Milky Way. The red dirt is warm from the day’s heat and radiates into the open sky. Strange frogs occasionally blurt in the distance. You can hear the wind coming from far away, which reveals the vast width of the space. As the wind fades, the space becomes a little more intimate and close, only to widen again as another zephyr wanders and spirals across the desert landscape. There are many small creatures here which create a lively, detailed energy that keeps things bright and positive. This is a very long track with many subtle details and shifts. The animated activity provided by infinite dots of consciousness scattered across the land pulses with a vibrant optimism, making this an excellent choice for active mental tasks like reading, studying, or working at a computer. Likely too active for a sleeping ambience, this is a place that is easy to get lost in. It adds life to any room over speakers and is immersive, vivid, and soothing under headphones. Listening too loud can degrade the experience; this is a gentle space. ### Elysia Collections: Newest Releases Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/elysia The amber grasses of the Pacific hillside are caressed by the cool, thick ocean air. Overhead, a lone oak tree, sentinel of the grass, reaches out to catch the playful and dynamic wind. Dry leaves tangle in the twigs and shadows as the light flickers and whispers with the breeze. Small micro-puffs of fog tumble upwards and past, levitating above the land and quickly gone. A distant raven surfs the updrafts, stitching his way across the horizon from tree to tree. The gentle solitude of this space is infinitely embracing and pleasant. Soft dark winds swirl in the grasses around the tree as branches and leaves create fantastic detail overhead. This track is extremely long and filled with unique detail, best experienced with headphones.The vivid sense of peaceful isolation is a powerful tool for focused thought and calming a busy mind. ### Epic Train Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/trainepic 20,000 tons of steel tear through the air as a series of massive trains pass by. This highly stereo and incredibly lifelike recording captures the enthralling, all-encompassing sound of multiple train passes. Feel the distant rumble build to an incredible crescendo. A truly captivating, imaginative experience for listeners of all ages. ### Equatorial Dawn Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/equatorialdawn Nestled in a tropical island forest near the equator, the trees and plants glow in the golden light of dawn, just before the sun breaches the horizon. The bird life is vivid, strong, and bright. Distant waves from the beach behind you wash against the sand as dawn begins its warming ways, evaporating the dew from the cool night. The warm island breeze is pleasant and fresh as the entire area rejoices in a new day filled with prosperity. Intended primarily as a track to be used with the Transitions Wake timer, it also works well as a way to add vibrance and sunshine to any space. Start your day with the vibrant sound of the gratitude and abundance of a warm island morning at the equator! ### Equatorial Midnight Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/equatorialmidnight The air that raced across the ocean for a thousand miles runs playfully through the foliage of the island forest. Warm, pleasant, and steady, the wind lifts the sound of the waves into the air and tosses it around, swirling and twisting the soft crashes of the moonlit sea. Stars twinkle through the palm trees above as gentle crickets stitch the evening song together with their subliminal chorus. The tranquility and warmth of this isolated environment induces positive introspection and provides respite from the busyness of urban life. The sense of night is strong and makes a great tool for projecting the creative mood of midnight at any time of the day. This track is pure ambience with no foreground details or distractions, making it an excellent choice for working, reading, and studying. Over speakers, the steady, even sound is good at masking noise while sleeping, but the delicate detail and sense of immersion is best realized with headphones. ### Equinox Collections: Best Sellers, Afternoons Listener reviews: 11 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/redskyoverwaterfall The amber sky darkens as autumn takes its first breath on the day of equal night. The sunset light succumbs to the season and surrenders it's supremacy to the evening. Dark, distant clouds absorb massive power from the atmosphere as the gods take form. Their chariots descend on the wind, sending the trees and leaves into a shiver. The branches, dry and cracked from the harsh summer sun, bristle in anticipation as the wildlife hurriedly seeks to gather as much of the leftover abundance as possible. A gentle river washes past as winds blow into the valley and thunder rumbles above. The dry air sublimates the rain into nothingness, taunting the thirsty land watching from below. This track is very 3D, has a strong dramatic mood and is good for stimulating creative thought. It has a wonderful balance of highly detailed sounds close by, clear running water and foliage swishing in the wind across a wide landscape, and deep winds spilling through the valley in the distance. It is long and dynamic with occasional thunder in the distance and overhead, but no rain. ### Eternal Reign Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/eternalreign Eternal Reign is all rain, no thunder. It is a nice, medium density rain that creates a steady ambience without any distractions. It is a forest rain, so the drips are organic and natural, no umbrella, no concrete, just trees and leaves. ### Exoplanet 11 Collections: Sci-Fi Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/exoplanet11 Alien jungle, mid afternoon, if they even have afternoon here. Unfamiliar light spills into the dense thicket of vines and other strange foliage. After a minute or so, the uncertainty subsides as you realize this planet isn’t so bad after all. Good catalyst for creative thought, strong holographic imaging. ### Extrasolar Night Rising Collections: Sci-Fi Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/extrasolarnightrising This planet has no moon, and its star is a distant binary pair with a weak bluish light. Night, therefore, is a deep sable pierced by pinpoint starlight, and the diffuse green glow of the galactic plane. Many strange winged creatures and amphibians spin their tales into the lush, dripping alien forest. ### Fahrenheit 33 Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/fahrenheit33 Falling through the sublime atmosphere, the liquid hardens into crystal. The diamond rain strafes the canvas of late autumn as winter takes a primal breath, inhaling the warmth off the trees in large gusts through the forest. Vapor rises off the frost-entangled pine needles and then falls as droplets above the still lake water. Ice angels form on the forgotten leaves in the frozen mist. The precipice between water and ice dances through the air, causing all the water to phase shift, back and forth in waves from the early afternoon and well into the night. This track faithfully reproduces the moment of an atmosphere on the edge. The temperature, which is just below 33F, 0.01C, is also known as the triple-point of water, where the three phases co-exist in a thermodynamic equilibrium. The delicate sound of frozen rain on dry leaves by a cold lake creates a very unique ambience. Wind, water and ice are heard; the trees collect the fog and drip into the water as the dry rain cascades through the canopy above and across the forest floor. Having all three phases of water present allows this track to seem warm if you are cold, and chilly if you are hot. Listened to quietly it is quite pleasant and spacious with a great amount of articulate detail. Use this track to add a sense of dimension to an otherwise quiet space while you work or study. ### Faraday's Cage Collections: Best Sellers Listener reviews: 14 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/faradayscage The invaders approach like super-galactic bodybuilders, each one showcasing their might in a parade of thunderous aggressions. Embedded in a draconian supercell that only hours earlier devastated towns with hell-spawned tornadoes, the combative aerial army marches single file above the plains. Their arsenal is unleashed downward into the earth, and the earth fights back with laser beams of electricity shooting high into the heart of the beasts whose charged ions glow green with fury. Bolts of plasma shoot like tracer bullets through the atmosphere, which excites the atoms into a frenzy. The air becomes thick and wet. Your skin begins to tingle and buzz with static. Your body temperature begins to rise slightly as the electrons around you assemble into a Faraday cage. Nothing gets through; lightning, rain, and wind are all held at bay while you ascend into a gravitationally inverted calmness. The conflict before you, this mean-spirited battle, is simply a quest for balance. You are the harmonious one, the observer who, simply through the act of seeing and hearing, affects all that is around you. Each blink acts like the wings of a butterfly, causing tiny disturbances that magnify exponentially into the realm of giants. Restoring the balance, it would appear, is up to you. This storm is a long and naturally evolving roller coaster ride. The rain takes on many different forms throughout, constantly changing attitudes and direction. Vertical sheets twist into horizontal sprays as a massive amount of water is thrown around like dust in a sandstorm. The winds are extremely dynamic and unpredictable, at times completely dominating the experience. Not to be outdone, the thunder in this track is some of the most intense and vicious we have captured. This is the loudest track in the catalog and not for the timid. It is common for us to remind users not to listen to Naturespace too loud because it distorts the realism. Not this time. This is a very loud storm. Use common sense. Don't fall asleep with this raging full-on. At low volume this can be pleasant while reading or working, but at full volume this track is capable of blowing those earbuds right out of your head, so be advised. ### First Light Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 21 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/firstlight The dawn begins and life awakens. The gentle air sparkles with luminous activity and enthusiasm for the opportunities that a new day brings. The hushed and steady breath of a distant river soothes the atmosphere beneath the intensifying warmth of the rising sun. This is a soft, light, and airy ambience. For the best experience, do not listen too loud. It is extremely spacious and engaging under headphones, and projects a lovely ambience over speakers. Recommended for use with the Transitions - Wake Timer. ### Flight Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/flight Multiple murmurations of starlings numbering in the tens of thousands coalesce above the only water for hundreds of miles in the arid high desert. Ducks quack and take off horizontally, their wings slapping the water like applause. Coveys of quail burst from the bushes. The sheer number of starlings in the sky create an undulating liquid smoke that barrels through the atmosphere like a freight train. This track is very long, and is not relaxing in any way; it is complete avian madness. And yet, in the midst of what appears to be total chaos, there is no indication of conflict. We have tried for years to capture this amazing natural phenomenon, and are very happy to have finally recorded it. We think it is truly fascinating. ### Force Times Mass Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/forcetimesmass 200 tons versus 10,000 horsepower equals 100 percent awesome, as trains from across the US criss-cross through the diamond. This epic track is comprised of 18 different freight trains passing each other; as one departs the next one enters. This is a bold and massive experience that contains a total of approximately 3600 tons of mass being moved by 180,000 horsepower when added together. Vibrant sonic colors spill off the cars like graffiti as they roll across the rails, while their vivid horns announce the approach of the next diesel locomotive. Wide and vast, the rails sing a pitch that directly correlates to the speed of the train whose metal wheels act like a violin bow across the steel strings that support the weight. The direction of the different trains alternate, creating several minutes of left-to-right movement before switching to a right-to-left movement. This has a nice effect on the mind and is very good at stimulating creative thought. This track is very long, intense and bold, and vividly re-creates the massive forces behind it all. It is dynamic, changes a lot over time, and includes several loud horns, so it is not recommended for sleeping. Instead, this is a full-on, in-your-face train experience that is best experienced with good headphones or speakers. However, played softly, it works well to mask external distractions like a busy office or a noisy neighbor ### Fourth of July Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/fourthofjuly The trajectory initiates with a low thump from the launcher that rolls across the grass and through the crowd. As the subsequent percussion descends from the evening sky, still tinged with hints of sunset, silhouettes of teenagers drift through the crowd in search of each other. Flashes of light illuminate the faces of wide-eyed children, who react with excitement and awe. Vibrant colors explode and fade into one another as a steady rhythm of fireworks ricochets off the landscape. The sounds of Independence Day are vividly re-created in this track, which is an immersive, crowd-based experience. The fireworks are steady throughout, as are the sounds of the 8,000 people spread comfortably across a golf course. Wafts of music swirling in the distance come and go. This is a very realistic re-creation of the sound of fireworks, and as such, it comes with some parameters. Explosions are not good for sleeping. This track is intended for stimulating the imagination while awake. Do not subject your ears to prolonged full-volume listening. Additionally, like our thunderstorms, the realism of this track can be dependent on how you listen. For the best results, we recommend using good headphones. The smaller the headphones, the smaller the fireworks. Listening at lower volumes can be quite pleasant and allows for a more relaxed experience. Experiment with Earbud Optimization Mode to see what works best for you. ### Goðafoss - Soft and Wide Collections: Steady Sleep Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/godafoss In the midst of ancient lava fields, the oncoming ice cold water from Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland, arches over the precipice and into the enormous swirling pool below, its color a startling azure against the surrounding black stones and orange sulfuric deposits. Shaped like an immense horseshoe, the spectacular Goðafoss is otherworldly and remarkably beautiful, with a long and interesting history. This track was recorded at the edge of a cliff looking down onto the falls. With two distinct sections of falling water, Goðafoss is very wide and stereo when used with headphones, creating an added sense of space to the steady action of the frigid river. Light snow silently falls through the mist, creating an aerial ballet of white snowflakes and iridescent water droplets. The natural amphitheater of the surrounding geology projects the sound forward as the wind, softly pulling and shifting, carries it through the air ### Hansel and Gretel Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 11 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/hanselandgretel Mid-afternoon north woods forest. You become lost... in thought. Every passing idea becomes a breadcrumb that is eaten by the joyous birds who delight in feasting off your mental snack-a-thon. Gentle winds embrace you, and try to convince you that this is where you belong. But they are just selfish, and it will be getting dark in a while.... ### Hawaiian Morning Chorus Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/hawaiianmorningchorus 6 A.M., 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Roosters crow in a sea of morning activity. Many birds, dispersed evenly through the trees, begin their day with loud and joyous proclamations, presumably along the lines of “We’re in Hawaii! How great is this?” And the cardinal is like “Yeah, and no snakes!”, and the doves are all like “That’s coo”. This is a wonderful morning filled with activity, and is a great way to begin the day as an ambience over speakers or with headphones. ### Helios Falling Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 26 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/heliosfalling The essence of sunset, distilled into its primary elements of gentle breezes, articulate crickets, katydids, and an owl. This track is one of our favorites; a true evening sound, steady and pure. Works great on both speakers and headphones. For many, this will be a great choice as an ambience to listen to while sleeping. ### Hiding in the Near Field Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/hidinginthenearfield Winds waft and wander through the tall field as you stand there unseen. The leaves and grasses are at least a foot taller than you and rattle softly as the breezes pass through. This is an extremely relaxing sound that highlights the wind, which is soft and warm. The leaves and branches of the field give wonderful 3D imaging under headphones, and convey the pleasantness of the environment. You can easily get lost in here. The clock slows, thoughts open up, and stress fades under the timeless blue sky. ### Ice Wind Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 23 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/icewind Wickedly cold winter wind pulses in waves through the barren, ice-covered trees as they reluctantly crack and sway. Wind chills as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit. A blanket of snow and ice covers the ground, making its unique sonic presence felt but not heard. For as cold and harsh as this scene is, it is surprisingly relaxing. Fantastic to listen to in the summer heat, and serves as a great motivator to buy that snowblower in the off-season, when they are cheaper. This track can actually make you feel colder. ### Idyllica Tremens Collections: Rivers Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/idyllicatremens This environment is so perfect, that you may actually suffer withdrawal afterwards. A gentle creek bubbles in front of you and is a tributary to a river 40 feet away and on your right. Several soft crickets pulse, and a few birds move lightly through the scene. This is a delicate environment and is best listened to in a quiet place, as it does not mask external noises well. Adds a strong sense of springtime to whatever you are doing. Great for studying or reading. Headphones, earbuds and speakers all work well. ### Imminent Wavefront Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/imminentwavefront Soft and dense, this is Pacific ocean on white sand. Perspective is further back than most, providing a more gentle experience of an otherwise large set of waves that curl and roll along the wide beach. An airy fizz is often present, like a freshly poured glass of ice cold soda, but bigger. Waves are constant, but each one is unique and they are unpredictable in their rhythm. There is a steady, silent breeze. ### Indian Paintbrush Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/indianpaintbrush August in Colorado, 7000 feet above sea level, from the perspective of a single mountain flower. The valley is wide and sprawling in the dry warmth of the early afternoon. Water from the morning's rain gently wanders through the mountain landscape. Frogs, nestled in the mud of the stream, croak under the pure warmth of the sun. The valley is filled with Indian Paintbrush, a favorite flower of the hummingbirds. Out of nowhere, they dart and flit, reaping the bounty of the alpine glen. This track is soft and pleasant, but the hummingbirds get very, very close and can be surprising. Their precise aerial acrobatics keep the listener alert, making this an excellent track for focusing at work or at the computer. ### Infinite Shoreline Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 143 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/infiniteshoreline For use while meditating, focus on the motion of a singular wave, as it approaches from the right and washes leftward. See how long you can follow the wave after it passes by. Imagine the feel of the sand on your bare feet. The extreme horizontal sound field of this track makes it a great choice for flight travel. The implied space relieves tension by providing the mind with a strong sense of being outside. It is also a good choice for focused, thought-oriented tasks like computing because it does not distract. ### Infinitely Relaxing and Peaceful Moods Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/completelyrelaxingandpeacefulmoods The ultimate weapon against stress and tension! This collection unleashes the full potential of Holographic Sound to induce a deep state of relaxation and calm.

Perfect for anyone who needs a little help getting into sleep mode. These tracks are most effective under headphones and are recommended for all human beings. ### Insomnia Relief and White Noise Therapy Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/insomniareliefandwhitenoisetherapy This collection was designed to assist in getting a better night's sleep by using nature's version of white noise. Using these tracks while sleeping is far superior to blasting a fan or synthetic white noise, which are neither natural nor pleasant. All included tracks work well over speakers and are recommended for anyone who has difficulty falling and staying asleep. These sounds are very steady and even, with nothing to distract you, providing a natural sonic barrier for annoyances like a partner's snoring, urban disturbances, or a noisy neighbor. Give your brain natural sound to sleep better and deeper! ### Inspire Imagine Escape Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thejourneysinspireimagineandescape This collection is for the adventure seeker who wishes to explore the infinite theater of their own creative mind. Long, evolving landscapes and events that take the listener on a journey within, these tracks are both inspiring and fascinating. It is an eclectic selection of diverse events in vivid and immersive 3D sound that allow the listener to become completely spellbound by alternate realities. Headphones are highly recommended for the best experience. ### Instant Summer Collections: Newest Releases, Afternoons, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/instantsummer The smell of wet grass awakens your spirit, releasing the tense grip of winter. Sprinklers pulse hypnotic rhythms in the form of scattering droplets that split the sunlight into bands of color as the wind gently caresses the lush canopy of maple trees overhead. A mourning dove watches while the shade lazily walks across the lawn as the slow day advances. Memories of a simpler past rise to the surface as we regain the playful and imaginative creativity of a kid in a backyard. To re-juvenate… to reclaim ones youth… We do so in the eye of the mind, where dreaming begins, and where the children make the rules. This track is spacious and slow, filled with gentle breezes overhead and light birdsong as the sprinklers thread the tapestry together. Soft and dreamy, the warm air envelops you as you drift into the afternoon. ### Interrogation Collections: Sci-Fi Listener reviews: 14 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/interrogation A visual display hangs in front of you, asking questions and flashing symbols you do not recognize. Some questions you cannot answer... “How did you get here” “What is your cognition ranking” “Define your purpose” But some questions you can answer... “How do you feel” “Do you remember your parents” “Do you like the new hat that we gave you” Rings of light circle and pulse around your head, the questions slow down, and a face appears. The rest is up to you. ### Intrepid Collections: Newest Releases, Thunderstorms, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/intrepid The dark sky speaks. In a forgotten forest, nestled among ancient trees, the traveller finds respite, embraced by the sky's immense yet gentle thunder. Magic lives here, wafting and wandering with the freshly ionized air, calming the forest residents. Amidst distant flashes of lightning, the wet canopy drips down into the woods as midnight nocturnal rhythms pulse through the trees. Hypnotic and welcoming, the sense of serenity and safety is like a warm blanket in the cool night. This track is very long and filled with details both large and small. Very dynamic and shifting, the rain is always gentle and soft. Extremely vivid and clear, with a strong sense of space and overhead activity. Deeply immersive, this will likely be a favorite for many. ### Invisibility Collections: Newest Releases, Afternoons, Rivers Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/invisibility In the serene embrace of the river, two fly fishermen vanish into the mist as they cut the air with the precision of a samurai's blade. Seamlessly blending into the canvas of the wild, their artful casts arc with the grace of a painter's brush. Blue jays and crows betray their presence, but the calls go unheeded as the sound of rushing water drapes its veil over the landscape. The river is cold, laced with the vanishing crystals of an early season snowfall. This track is a swirl of stealth and understanding, a harmonious blend of human skill and the natural world's rhythms. As they emulate the nymph to seduce the fish… they become invisible… masters of the art of disappearing… into the vivid tapestry of the river's life. ### Life After Life Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 21 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/lifeafterlife Life always rising and falling like a wave forever slowly shifting phase in and out of the light tossed about between day and night Dreaming and breathing and sleeping and waking The cycle spins as the earth spins as the galaxy twists and twirls as the universe expands with massive explosions like gamma ray bursts and giant black holes swallowing light itself and entire galaxies merging around us Yet, amidst the galactic mayhem, we have a balmy 76 degree day with light winds... The light spills red through the trees after a fresh summer rain. Wind occasionally swirls around in the evergreens as the newly moistened trees drip into the forest. The birds are joyous as they sing, sometimes right above you with very close fly-bys and intimate proximity to gentle birdsong. Distant crows proclaim their supremacy, but no one pays any attention to them. The shoreline pulses and soothes with waves of cool water. A strong sense of timelessness and the eternal cycle of life. ### Liquid Sunshine Collections: Best Sellers, Rain, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 26 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/liquidsunshine Soft and airy, the rain falls into the forest and drips on the leaves, branches, and fallen logs of the woods. A truly beautiful rain with the steady presence of gentle thunder. Extremely detailed and pleasant, this track is very long, providing for a wealth of little details that come and go in the form of various drips and rhythms, in addition to several well-spaced thunder rumbles. Spectacular with good headphones, and also great over speakers. This is an excellent choice for those who like to sleep to the sound of rain. Listening too loud, however, will change the character from soft and airy to harsh and edgy so be mindful of the volume. This is a gentle rain. The sun breaks through occasionally and a bright rainbow appears. ### Loki Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Thunderstorms, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 22 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/loki The Trickster, God of Fire, Father of Hel. Loki is a shape-shifter, appearing in animal form to manipulate both men and gods. Known as the originator of deceits, he used his trickery to get the gods into trouble, and again to get them out. Forced into bondage under a venomous snake, his writhing in pain would cause great rumblings of both sky and earth. Loki is a very unique track, and is a favorite for many. It has almost no rain, with an occasional sprinkle on to the leaves and sometimes into the water below. The environment is a forest bog, with a chorus of frogs and crickets. The thunder is very detailed and articulate. The lack of rain combined with the environmental sounds create a wonderful and magical atmosphere, great for sleeping, studying, reading, or just closing your eyes and getting lost in the scene. ### Low Sodium Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/lowsodium The clean, clear freshwater waves of Lake Michigan's northwest shore. Strong left-to-right waves enter the bay and roll across a shoreline made entirely of smooth stones. The absence of fizz due to a lack of saline is replaced by a gentle bubbling as the water quickly seeps between the rocks. The water is cold. Nice on a hot day like today. ### Lucid Dreaming Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/luciddreaming At first, the realism is simply spellbinding and completely convincing. But then you notice that the forest has a strange glow. And the temperature... it's as if there isn't one. Your bare feet engage the soft earth gently. Your breath turns to mist and wanders along a ribbon of silent air that spills into the woods. You are slightly transparent. Your presence here is noticed, and they know you don't belong here. The birds come to investigate you. "We have a visitor. The one who walks is asleep." The colors deepen with the realization that this is the landscape of your own mind. All that you see and hear... it is you. You are the dreamer, the witness, and the architect. And as soon as that concept takes hold, you wake up. But you will always know that you have left a part of yourself behind. You remain the architect. You will return again to witness your own mind and to exist within it. Next time you will have more control. Soft, deep tones from Native American flutes bleed like dye into a detailed tapestry of day interwoven with night. Distant owls and loons are steady and spacious as woodpeckers flit about, continuing to transform the space. Thunder rumbles vividly overhead, but there is no rain. Crickets serenade the trees as the wildlife seeks to perpetuate the never-ending moment. ### Lucid Morning Meditation Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/lucidmorningmeditation 5:45 am, 68 degrees. A warm, foggy morning in the Pacific Northwest near the coast, at the edge of a lagoon that sparkles with waking life. This track is for the advanced listener whose focus is visual imaging in a meditative morning environment. It is light and airy, but has moments of detailed activity. At times, birds fly into the pine tree above you and drop pine cones that land onto the ground with a light thud. Birdsong fluctuates over time, as do the breezes. For the most part, this track is sparse and light, however due to the dynamic environment of this very long track, some people may be annoyed by the occasional events like close birds and falling pine cones. But this is nature, events come and go, so for the individual seeking realism in a morning setting, this is a perfect choice. Best with headphones. ### Mare Tranquillitatis Collections: Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/islandcove The waves rise up and spill onto the shoreline as subdivided clones of their parent form, dispersing their fractal iterations into the crevices of the beach. Each wave is divided into smaller and smaller waves, and as they do so, the detail of the scene emerges with greater and deeper resolution. The imaging fills in, the colors saturate, and the landscape becomes known. Once the structure of the environment is rendered, the alchemy begins. There is a magic here, in this hidden secret cove. Maybe it has something to do with what the birds are doing, maybe it's something about the air that their song is carried upon, but whatever it is, there is an ethereal harmony, a spellbinding balance. It is a place where time, temperature, and the elements all converge in absolute perfection, gently celebrated by all who reside here, and whose free-flowing tranquility sparkles in the mind of all who visit. This is a very delicate sound of gentle waves and distant birds. It is very 3D and quite long with subtle variation in the wave patterns throughout. Listening too loud distorts the image and inflates the ambience in a negative way. Listeners are advised to start quietly and raise the volume from there. ### Meditation Focused Chakra Therapy Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/meditationfocusedchakratherapy Life can be very demanding, and finding consistent time and space to meditate can be a challenge. That’s why it makes sense to have effective, efficient tools to help that process when you do find the time. Holographic Sound has a unique impact on the brain because the spatial information of these alternate realities are so convincingly real. Time becomes opaque as the spaces envelop the listener, giving the creative and emotional centers of your mind the freedom to breathe. It is common to lose all track of time while listening to these tracks. The experience can be quite profound, and repeatable. Stress, worry, and fear are eased as the benevolent 3D spaces quickly and easily stimulate both the conscious and subconscious mind. Meditation changes your world simply by changing your outlook. Holographic Sound makes it easy. Even five minutes can make a huge difference. ### Midnight Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/midnight A moonless evening as the end-of-summer winds wash over the forest. Branches occasionally creak while a gentle symphony of crickets induce a hypnosis of night. Highly realistic and ideally balanced close, mid, and distant sounds create a compelling holographic space. Pure, clean, and engaging, this track masks external noise moderately well, and is best on headphones. Works great on earbuds in a quiet room. ### Midnight Tide Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/midnighttide Each wave makes progress as the moon pulls the water nearer to you. Midnight’s full moon glows in the foam. Gentle waves close and wide with no distant roar, this is a calm, warm, evening shoreline. Listen quietly for a relaxing experience, louder for more intensity. ### Moonlight Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/moonlight The warm, steady, offshore breeze blows strongly into the palm trees above as you rest under the light of the full moon. The stars and moon sparkle in the deep black water. An extremely relaxing night on the beach; the subtle shifts in the wind add a powerful realism to the scene. This wind can exist for weeks at a time in the islands, and it's great for masking external noise. ### Moosejaw Creek Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/moosejawcreek A lush forest creek winds its way down the mountain across 3 small waterfalls... one to the left and slightly above, one in front of you as you sit, and one farther down on the right and somewhat below you. Laced with a delicate balance of sparse activity from a variety of birds. A low wind that occasionally rolls by overhead highlights how tall many of the trees in this old-growth forest are. When played over speakers, it gives the impression that you left the bathtub running and it’s overflowing, and is therefore not recommended. Headphones, on the other hand, present a remarkable experience of immersion and believability; unique for its space, the time of day it creates, and the inviting nature of the creek that begs for you to drink from it. ### Morning Pathwalk Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 13 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/morningpathwalk A spontaneous morning stroll in slippers and p.j.’s with a cup of coffee. You were simply checking out the temperature when you stepped out of the kitchen, but then you just started walking. The wet grass is possibly going to ruin the slippers, but they are kind of old and you are going into town later anyway, so maybe today is the day to treat yourself a little. *This track includes the sound of footsteps. ### Moving in Stereo Collections: Newest Releases Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/movinginstereo The cars, emerging from the edges of the scene, move steadily toward the center and across, disappearing into the wet mist of the road after a fresh rain. They stitch together the two hemispheres of your mind, weaving your cognitive threads into a tapestry of relaxed alertness like shuttles in your psychoacoustic loom. This track invites you to sharpen your mental imagery skills, supercharging the vision of your mind’s eye through the power of active visualization. Focus on the details of each passing traveler as it disappears into the edge. Visualize the trees above you as they drip; experiment with how light behaves. How dark is it? Contemplate the path of the road; are there curves, or is it straight? There is a mood and feel to this place and time; it is uniquely cinematic and engaging. This track works well as a tool for creative writing, for lessening the effects of being in a confined space, and as a gentle sleep ambience for those seeking something familiar as they slumber. ### Natural Dreams and Restful Slumber Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/naturaldreamsandrestfulslumber This collection was designed to create a natural and pleasant atmosphere within your sleep environment. All tracks work well over speakers. They are steady and consistent, but are also very long and change subtly over time. Re-creating the mood, pace and atmosphere of natural nocturnal spaces can positively influence the quality and depth of the dreaming state. By supplying the subconscious with natural, organic sounds and spaces, it is possible to tap into deeper levels of healthy, restful slumber. It's like camping, but in a comfortable bed with no mosquitos! ### Newton Under Tree Collections: Abstract, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 22 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/newtonundertree “Why do I not simply float away? Clearly, I am held here by more than fascination alone.” An idyllic afternoon ambience of a gentle stream and lovely birdsong is braided and intertwined with a musical and rhythmic tonality that is excellent for creating a positive mindset while you enjoy your Apple. A great catalyst for ideas and supporting a focused perspective. Works well on both speakers and headphones. Also good for quieting a song that is stuck in your head. ### Night at Lake Unknown Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 158 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/nightatlakeunknown Focus on the amount of available light. Is it pitch black, or is it lit by moonlight? Next, consider the air temperature, is it cool, or warm? How about the water? Estimate the distance of the loon. This track was created to induce a sense of night. Useful for jet lag and circadian rhythm re-balancing. This is a great choice for use with the Transitions - Sleep Timer for a pleasant ambience while dreaming. Wonderful for vanquishing an uncomfortable silence or masking external disturbances. ### Odin Collections: Thunderstorms, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 23 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/odin The All-Father, God of War. Poetry, magic, prophecy, death, and the hunt were his dominion. He was hung from the world tree, Yggdrasil, while pierced by his own spear for nine days in order to gain the wisdom that would give him his power. Thus, many of the sacrifices to Odin were hanged. Wednesday is named after him (Wodin). Odin is in a similar environment to Thor, but doesn't have the startling, out-of-nowhere strikes that make you jump. It is entertaining and fascinating, and many people enjoy this as an ambience for sleeping. Big rumbles and deep growls that roll across the sky make a great place to be while studying or reading. Not too distracting, but definitely not boring either. Rain is steady and mostly ambient. ### Pastureland Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/pastureland A wide, vast pasture with sheep, cows, distant crows and crickets. The open space of the grassland is vivid and clear. This track is especially good at inducing forgotten memories of childhood for those who grew up around agriculture. And for the city mouse, well, it is certainly always nice to visit your cousin. Definitely a beautiful day for it. ### Perpetual Motion Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/perpetualmotion Steady and true, the infinite ring of cars continues uninterrupted. There is no engine or horn, it is just car after car moving steadily across the tracks. This track serves multiple purposes, depending on how it is played. Quietly over speakers it is excellent as an ambiance for sleeping or noise masking. Played softly under headphones, it makes a fantastic space for studying and focusing on work or while stuck behind a computer. Played louder, it is immersive and detailed and is a great tool for enhancing creativity ### Peyote Collections: Best Sellers, Abstract Listener reviews: 36 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/peyote The rhythms of the invisible shaman. The whispers of the sorcerer. The trance. Fertility is given to those who engage the spirit world, those who can connect to the aether. And when the spirit comes, you will know it. The power of the mind, the power of the shaman... the animal world, the spirit world... all the same... all connected. It is the disconnection that is the illusion, and truth is it's undoing. This track is performed with hand drums, percussion, and rhythmic whispers. Not recommended for people who are easily frightened. ### Photosynthesis Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/photosynthesis Sunlight. The essential and life giving wind of the nearest star bathes the earth in it’s luminous nutrition. The photons arrive as both particle and wave, moving at the speed limit of the universe. The trees grow as efficient collectors, immersed in an ocean of light. Energy is consumed and transformed into the physical, rendering endless variations of wonderful things like apples and strawberries and oak trees. Even the people convert the nectar of the gods into vitamins. But the people, unlike the apples, are very busy and worry a lot, so it is easy for them to forget this daily miracle. But one simply needs to look up and around to be reminded of the daily blessing of the sun. Thankfulness is most appropriate. Cold water flows gently through the orchard as crickets and light birdsong illuminates the space. Soothing, pleasant and spacious on both headphones and speakers alike. ### Radiance Collections: Best Sellers, Evenings, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/nightcampfire The cold is vanquished. The timber surrenders itself and genuflects beneath the pyrotechnic release of its own mass in the form of light and heat. The sustaining power of its radiant warmth wraps your body and protects you as you take shelter in the absence of the sun. Red-hot embers glow like a tube radio, broadcasting the universe's benevolent intentions as you become spellbound by the primordial, veiled in mortality, and adrift in the eternal. ### Rain Into Water Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 145 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/rainintowater Focus on the vertical; water is falling into the lake, but also hitting leaves and foliage above and behind you. Next, examine the width of the shoreline as the water drips along the edge of the lake. The water into the lake is constant, the dripping onto leaves from above and the splashy little fish are sporadic. Crickets are entirely behind and above as the land slopes down to the water. ### Reef Breakers and Slow Fizz Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/reefbreakersandslowfizz Morning winds blow humid air as the waves break over the reef 200 yards offshore. Sitting so the long stretching waves may sometimes reach you and fizz around you, your day begins with porpoise. A gentle shoreline with a nice close fizz and a distant roar. Best with headphones. ### Replenished Collections: Newest Releases, Rain, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 1 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/replenished The rain falls endlessly, returning to the lake below in a steady reunion. Above, the sky holds its form, vast and untethered, while the lake reacts to every drop, each ripple a fleeting trace of connection. The sky stretches beyond comprehension, the lake holds only what it can… full yet vulnerable to every touch. One is the mind: expansive and untouchable. The other is the heart: close, deeply felt, and moved by everything it encounters. The rain is their conversation, each drop a word, each pattern a thought, bridging intellect and emotion in a dialogue that binds heart to mind and earth to sky. This track immerses you in the vivid sound of rain falling on a secluded lakeside dock. The experience transitions from passing showers to the gentle dripping of rain from the wet trees, capturing the interplay of water on wood, leaves, and the lake’s surface. Along the shoreline, the rolling collapse of waves illustrates the tangible presence of wet sand and grounds the experience in earthly texture. The track unfolds slowly, painting a vivid picture of both the sky above and the earth below. ### Rhythms of Circadia Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/rhythmsofcircadia The definitive recording of the quintessential night sound. A perfect blend of crickets softly fills the air and swirls about as their rhythms pulse in waves around you. This is a must-have for anyone desiring an ambience to play over speakers at night as you sleep. An invocation of summer night that is specifically engineered to sound great on just about anything. The crickets seem to appear all over the room. The cyclical patterns of their alternating pitches in correlation to their specific spatial positions pull the listener into the sublime 3D melody. Use it anywhere you wish to make a space more inviting. Great for lessening the cold of the winter, or creating a sense of openness. Interestingly, this track often seems to help us quiet any song that gets stuck in our heads. ### Riding the Thermals Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/ridingthethermals You are one of several hawks spiraling upwards through the canyon on the rising warm air currents between the valley walls. The wind in the trees swirls around as you fly, sometimes coming quite close, and the rushing of cooler air that robs you of lift whoosh past in low, deep breaths. This is a very swirly track, and when listened to softly can add a nice sense of air and spaciousness while studying or reading. Played louder it is a strong catalyst for the imagination and induces a sense of flight. Best with headphones. ### Riverbank Trance Collections: Rivers Listener reviews: 11 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/riverbanktrance A clean cool river rushing past; the sound field is dominated by lush waters, simultaneously delicate and forceful, articulate and steady in its progression through the valley. Bears come here to drink and to eat the plentiful fish and recording engineers. Excellent for masking external noise and is best heard with headphones. ### Riverknot Collections: Rivers Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/riverknot Born from a mythical rainstorm 450 years ago, the streams come together and twist and swirl as you travel between them in a figure eight. A perpetual, stand-alone riverknot that weaves through your mind and refreshes you with its liquid ambrosia. Soft and pleasant, good for masking external noise. Best on headphones or quietly over speakers. Listening too loud lessens the realism. ### Riverswim Collections: Rivers, Abstract Listener reviews: 16 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/riverswim Run into a river and get gently swept downstream. Drift past deep gurgles, swirling whirlpools and cascading, delicious waterfalls. Float into the shallows, stand waist deep, and walk to the riverbank. You notice the cool air, dive back in and get gently swept downstream again... A full-on journey, swimming while progressing down a river with the environment changing all around. Brief moments of abstract tonalities create a dream-like experience, and occasional breaths from the swimmer add to the realism. This track is amazing for creative visualization, but probably changes too much to be used as a background ambience over speakers. Best listened to with headphones for the deepest immersion. ### Riverwind Dreaming Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 153 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/riverwinddreaming Focus on the height of the wind in the trees, in contrast to the height of the waterflow. Examine the pathways of the water’s slow motions left and right. Focus on the natural sounds, divert attention from the tonalities, which are there to stimulate the subconscious. Stress is washed away by the water and wind. ### Saga of the Moonflowers Collections: Abstract, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 47 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sagaofthemoonflowers The benevolent ghost of the forest ascends. Her mysticism radiates outward and illuminates the wood. She is merely gazing out of the window of her mind, into the trees and fields of moonflowers who grow as the fragile fighters, the delicate warriors who seek that most subtle and sublime attention from the light of the moon. Their shadows wrap around the light, keeping the blue-white ghost of the moon warm in their earthly embrace. Such a delicate balance. Such desire for life. Their gratitude is reflected with simplicity and serenity as they bow beneath her. Delicate piano melodies performed in a large cathedral intertwine with an ever-shifting background of major and minor, inset into the loveliest field of night-time crickets ever. The occasional soft splashes of jumping fish reveal the lake. Wonderful over speakers and headphones alike. ### Sailing (Prologue) Listener reviews: 7 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sailingprologue Sailing on a 40 foot boat in medium seas as the wind begins to fade but the waves persist. Waves are modest, with the occasional heavy splash against the fiberglass hull. The sails ripple and thwap above you, the rigging clicks and clangs. Steady as she goes... ### Sanctuary Island - East Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sanctuaryislandeast In the sheltering forest of a forgotten island, the perpetual cycle of life in the trees plays out in full splendor, and you are the invisible observer. Hundreds of birds call and fly about as the living forest manifests itself through infinite forms. An extremely calm day with no wind allows us to hear deep into the forest. A fascinating glimpse into a pristine ecosystem. ### Sanctuary Island - North Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sanctuaryislandnorth Transcending the limits of the individual, birdsong is not just a singular melody, but many interacting melodies that move and evolve through the space of the forest. Hundreds of birds sing to each other in praise of the bountiful earth, as a small creek washes past in the distance. ### Sanctuary Island - South Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sanctuaryislandsouth Strong, warm southerly winds push into the forest and fade to calm, as a contingent of I’iwi birds proudly perform for you. Extremely holographic imaging creates a very convincing “being there” experience, with birds that come right up to you so you don’t miss anything. This is a very dynamic track best listened to under good headphones. A great choice for sharpening your creative visualization skills. Don’t get lost, though; it’s deep in here. ### Sanctuary Island - West Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sanctuaryislandwest Precision birdsong performed with utter virtuosity in the calm Hawaiian island forest. Highly articulate, the calls bounce back and forth in the close canopy. Spectacular spatial imaging and placement of the individual birds create a wonderful holographic experience. Thought provoking bird calls from all directions. ### Selfoss - Pulsations Collections: Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/selfoss Selfoss is an immense, curving wall of water that plunges into the fabled river Jökulsá á Fjöllum as it flows toward distant Öxarfjörður where it merges with the Arctic Sea. Wind whips across the face of the falls, casting the breath of the river skyward. Stark, black cliffs boldly frame the wide mouth of the falls as the torrential water spills into the channel. This track was recorded at a medium distance, which allows for a greater sense of detail from the water. The base of Selfoss is very turbulent and turns with great force, and this is evident in the sound. Selfoss pulses and throbs with energy, adding an element of natural variation to an otherwise balanced white ### Serenading The Moon Collections: Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/serenadingthemoon Noctilucent clouds silently traverse the night, backlit by the full moon that hangs low in the the southern sky. Shifting between complete darkness and bright lunar light, the frogs react to the moon. As the glow increases, so does the song. And as the moon again becomes obscured by the clouds, the song goes quiet. Fireflies float over the wet grass, bobbing up and down and then vanishing into the velvet black landscape. Light and shadow dance and shift, instilling magic into the air.  This is a very special evening. The natural harmony that permeates the scene is breathtaking. The sound perfectly correlates with the shifting light in the sky, which gives an otherwise very subtle and delicate track the power to completely take over the atmosphere of the listening environment. Spectacular as an all night sleeping ambience, it is also exceptional at adding a sense of nature to any room at any time. A beautifully haunting and sublime mood that enhances any environment. Pure magic! This track is excellent over both speakers and headphones. ### Serpentine Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Evenings Listener reviews: 17 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/serpentine The sound of the distant trains push through the thick indigo night, curving and winding along the mountainous landscape as the breezes spill into the valley. The cool mountain air lies like a white velvet blanket over the grass and hushes the crickets. The echoes of the far-away trains shimmer and cascade along the canyon walls as the steady baritone of the engines vibrate the air from ten miles away.  Serpentine is a real-time ambience of two very distant freight trains passing in the night. One approaches from the right, the other enters on the left. It is not a train sound effect, it is an ambience. A total of four horn events occur evenly across twenty-one minutes of evening. There are gorgeously soft crickets and breezes that provide the stage and lighting against a canyon silhouette whose natural amphitheater architecture creates a spellbinding 3D echo. For anyone whose past holds the sound of trains in the distance, this track will trigger extremely vivid memories; it is quite powerful in that regard.  Serpentine is heavily influenced by the method of playback; quietly over speakers the engine sounds are soft and subdued with the predominant sound being the crickets and wind interspersed with the horn, which is far away but still quite audible. Under headphones, the ambience is extremely immersive and gentle, with the rumble of the engines steadily present through most of it, and the echo of the distant horn lights up the canyon with wonderful depth and detail ### Shadow Valley Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/shadowvalley Large winds push through the tall pines and swirl around the valley. A small creek gently bubbles nearby. This is a sunset wind; the atmosphere is rapidly cooling beneath the fading heat of the sun, sending the evening zephyrs upon their course through the woodland. ### Shaman vs Goddess Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 18 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/shamanvsgoddess After a three day trek into the jungle, you finally arrive only to find the tribe scattered and quite busy. Its not until after you show them you have brought medicine for the children that they notice you. Quickly they explain that you have come at the wrong time; the Goddess is coming to transform the land. She is a force of nature, neither good nor evil, and she is indiscriminate in how she moves across the earth, changing all that encounter her. In return for the kindness you have shown by bringing medicine, they summon the 5 Shaman in order to cast a protection spell around you and to defend you when she comes. The spell is cast, and all goes quiet. But not for long.... This track is best played loud on good headphones. ### Sheltered Collections: Best Sellers, Thunderstorms Listener reviews: 34 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sheltered The rain is steady, the air is cool, and you are warm and cozy under a blanket on the covered porch of your grandparent's farmland cottage. Gutters gurgle and thunder rolls above as you relax through the evening storm. This track is extremely long, (currently the longest thunderstorm in the Naturespace catalog) and is entirely pleasant and relaxing. ### Sleeper Train Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/trainsleeper A steady, relaxing train passes nearby. Free from whistle or horns and highly spacious, this recording is excellent for concentration and use in urban environments. This is an excellent track for noise masking. ### Snowstorm Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/snowstorm Wind with gusts up to 60 mph blow across the frozen lake into the trees which still have a few dry leaves clinging to them. It is bitterly cold. The falling snow is not soft, it is sharp, almost like sand, and it blows laterally across the frozen forest floor. The sound of the snow hitting the trees, leaves and ground is crisp and clear. ### Soft Forest Rain Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 16 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/softforestrain A gentle, steady rain with primarily small raindrops. A strong sense of summer as the density of the rain reveals the canopy of leaves above you. Best played quietly with headphones or speakers. ### Solitude Collections: Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/solitude The air is clean and fresh, and the isolation is pure. You are alone, and it is the moment of the first freezing of the lake. The wind pushes and pulls through the high, bare branches of the tallest tress, while the smaller trees below them rustle and twist in the gusts, their dry leaves crisp and cold. A thin layer of ice has appeared, flexing and continuing to form on the water. It creaks and scrapes as air bubbles dart around underneath the forming ice, seeking a path to release. This track has a powerful ability to lull the listener to sleep. It is both minimalist and yet filled with detail. You can feel the cold in the air. The stark isolation and the strong sense of depth combine to create a landscape that soothes the mind and quickly evaporates the day from your thoughts. Played loudly over headphones, this track can be intense; play it at a lower volume for the greatest realism and immersion. A strong sense of the vertical axis is quickly evident under headphones, which makes it very engaging and believable. Over speakers, it adds a lovely sense of fresh air to a room. ### Solitude Canyon Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/solitudecanyon The winds spill into the canyon and swirl slowly around you, occasionally rustling the sparse foliage in the dry riverbed. It’s been a very dry summer; the birds and crickets are all quiet, so this track is primarily wind. Excellent for reading, thinking, and focusing. In general, reproducing wind works better over headphones than it does on speakers. Sounds great on earbuds. ### Solstice Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 3 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/solstice The forest trail warms in the mid-morning light on the longest day of the year. Grasshoppers sun themselves in the radiant heat of the narrow path that gently winds its way up the mountainside. Cool breezes rise up from the valley, filtered through the ascending canopy. Counterpoint to the rising air are pinecones that cascade earthward through the branches of the trees and tumble down the mountain slope into the valley below. Steady activity from bluejays and squirrels, passing through in the midst of a very productive day, embellish the incredibly pleasant and idyllic environment. Warm and inviting, there is plenty of shade to filter the intensifying heat of the sun as it travels over the forest below. There is a unique perfection and harmony to this detailed and dynamic environment. Benevolent, lively, and engaging, this track is extremely effective for encouraging a healing mental state by providing your mind with a space where everything is safe and tranquil: there is no conflict, there are no problems, and everything is as it should be. Many atmospheric variables come together to create a rare balance of perfection. This track is immersive, vivid, and pleasant under headphones; as an ambience over speakers, it is bright, airy, and positive. Listening too loud greatly lessens the realism of this track. We strongly recommend starting with the volume set low and gently raising it until it feels natural. ### Star Reflections Collections: Evenings, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/starreflections North woods lake at night. Soft wind-driven waves push against the land, with a small contingent of crickets behind you. Supremely peaceful but active, the wind keeps the scene alive. Open skies are hidden by the trees above you, but the stars are clearly out in all their splendor, revealed by their reflections on the black water, which is a little too cold to go in. Good thing you brought the chair. Listening too loud lessens the realism. ### Stargazing Collections: Evenings, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/stargazing It's as if the ground can see the night sky, and is so moved by the vast, shimmering beauty of the galaxy, that it tries to emulate it with sound. The crickets sparkle and chorus like stars in the long dry grass, and the wind carries the breeze through the field, keeping it warm in the post-solar glow of the newly christened evening. A steady ambience that is great both on speakers and headphones alike. ### Stillness Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 25 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/stillness Deep in a rainforest on the Big Island of Hawaii at sunset, after many hours of hiking through thick vegetation and steep climbs with our gear on our backs, we landed in one of the most serene evenings we've ever witnessed. There is absolutely no wind. The stillness is palpable. The sounds of the forest are subdued but clear and spacious. Some of the birds are extremely far away and give a strong sense of the vastness of the space. It is a rather fragile sound and benefits from a quiet listening environment. A distant bird that sounds like it’s laughing and small sticks that occasionally fall through the forest canopy add detail to the scene. The sound of the crickets are soft, warm and very spacious. The beauty of this track is in its subtle detail and exceptional imaging. It is the most delicate and quiet of all. Listening too loud lessens the realism. Start softly and adjust the volume slowly. Excellent on both speakers and headphones. ### Storm Valley Ranch Collections: Newest Releases, Thunderstorms Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/stormvalleyranch You were being guided by the land without knowing it. You thought you were driven by the storm and by the urgency to stay dry. But your intuition kept choosing a subtle contour in the valley instead of the road, following a path lit by instincts embedded deep within you. A landscape that carries you if you let it. A valley that shapes your movement, without telling you what to do. A storm that forces you to surrender to intuition. This is a destination reached not through strategy, but through flow. Inside the huge barn, the storm becomes a story you can only read in hindsight. All the small coincidences that aligned finally gather into a single question: how did you actually get here? You didn't plan your way to this shelter. You were compelled, and you followed. A small piece in a much larger design; panic would have been your undoing. Thunder rolls through the rafters and rain batters the roof. The details are simple and reassuring: a folded wool blanket, a lantern still warm, hay enough to rest on. The storm continues outside, loud and unrelenting, while inside everything holds steady. This is a very long, dynamic storm captured in a huge wooden barn. Thunder arrives in waves, rain shifts from deluge to mist and back again. Ribbons and sheets of water dance across the massive roof as the skylights get strafed by bullets of rain. And that's all it takes to let go. ### Stream of Consciousness Collections: Rivers, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/streamofconsciousness The subtle and random gurgling of water going around a large slippery rock is the anchor of the ambience of moving water that surrounds you. Incredibly pleasant and inviting, the mood this river creates is one of contentment and peace. It is truly lovely from a strictly sonic perspective; the depth of the gurgle and the airy sparkle of the water makes for a perfectly balanced sound. No birds, wind or crickets, just the enchanting music of pure water flowing. ### Summer Mountain Valley Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 41 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/summermountainvalley Focus on the rhythmic interaction of the crickets as they shift in and out of synchronicity. Visualize their positions. Notice the altitude of the distant birds. Next, observe the river in front of you. Initiate freeform creative visualization by imagining the feel of the warm morning sunlight as you wander. ### Sun Falling Into Water Collections: Waves, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sunfallingintowater A highly detailed and vivid shoreline as you sit right at the edge of the water. The dark black waves occasionally reach your toes, but no farther. The water is very cold; the air is sweet and fresh. There are thin veils of fog that shimmer over the water in the filtered evening light. This track is very long, and one of our most articulate and detailed captures of an ocean shoreline to date. A strong sense of width supports an intricate wavecrash closer and in front. The waves break with authority on the wet sand; it is both dynamic and immersive. Amazing realism while listening over speakers as well as headphones. Try it in the car! Now it's a boat! ### Sunlight in the Tall Aspen Forest Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 7 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/sunlightinthetallaspenforest Colorado, mid-July, 82 degrees, at the secret place on the other side of the ridge, where the Aspen are unusually tall. The purest of winds seduces the trees into a swaying hypnotic rhythm as the thin white columns flex and bend, their delicate green leaves shimmering in the rays of sunshine. The gentle birdsong confirms the sense that here and now, in this exact point in time and space, everything is in harmony and balance (including you). This track has wonderful height and width, as well as a high degree of detail and imaging from the closest leaves. It is perfect for reading, studying, or meditating, as well as re-connecting with a peaceful mind after a long day. Birdsong is light and distant, not too busy or loud to be distracting. The strong vertical axis is only realized under headphones. ### Tears of Asgard Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 16 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/tearsofasgard Asgard - Home of the gods. It was foretold through a prophecy given to Odin that the era of the gods would end in a final battle known as Ragnarok. Before this, fallen warriors would go to Valhalla and prepare to defend Odin and the others. Ultimately though, Thor, Odin, Loki and most other gods were killed. Tears of Asgard is all rain, no thunder. This rain is unique because it is raining into a freshwater lake. The water is very cold. Soft, delicate, and pleasant, it has a nice blend of close, mid, and far away sound, creating a nice holographic immersion. ### Telescope Lake Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/orchardlake The liquid mirror of the lake reflects not only light, but sound as well. Optically, every star glistens with equal brightness to its twin in the sky, but sonics are another story. Infused with Druid magic, Telescope Lake can actually hear the distant sound of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts occurring in the universe, and reproduces their relative amplitudes and positions of each event through the use of frogs. Every frog corresponds to a distant galactic cataclysm, each one having the power of a thousand exploding suns. Edwin Hubble used to fish here, and was stunned to discover that the furthest frogs were moving away faster than the nearer. Nestled in a bed of twinkling crickets, the observer is immersed in an extremely spatial night environment with percussive frogs mapping the galaxy. As with any astronomical endeavor, the observer must take a few minutes to acclimate and dark-adapt to the environment before all the detail can be discerned. As such, the preview will often fail to impart the truly relaxing nature of Telescope Lake. Just make sure to leave before dawn because the sun is quite loud. ### Tempest Landing Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/tempestlanding The sea rises and bears down on the rocks with fury. You are trapped on the jagged shore, unable to climb out. The wall behind you is 60 feet of treacherous vertical rock. Going into the water is instant death, you would immediately be cut to ribbons by the vicious sharp stone. The swells keep getting closer. Your fate is in the hands of nature now. May she be benevolent and have mercy on you (if she even sees you down there, she does seem awfully busy). All of us here at Naturespace are pulling for you. Good luck! Excellent over speakers! (and headphones, of course) ### The Ascendancy of The Redwoods Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Afternoons Listener reviews: 20 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theascendancyoftheredwoods Redwood National Park, California. The sound of ravens and jays echo through the forest of the world's tallest trees. Woodpeckers knock into the giant wood, revealing their massive presence. There is an unusually slow, consistent breeze that filters between the trees and swishes softly through the ferns which are so abundant on the forest floor. The ravens own this place; even the sound of their wings is huge. Their dominion is evident as they patrol the colossal stands of timber. This is an incredibly quiet place. It is vast, dynamic, and completely unique, but it is also extremely fragile. Listening too loud betrays the essence of this hushed and tranquil environment. At over 20 minutes, this track features the best moments from over six days of recording. The amazing acoustics of the Redwoods are best experienced over headphones. The subtle complexity and detail from the nearby foliage contrasts beautifully against the immense sense of height and width of this spectacular natural theater and the vivid trajectories of multiple avian flyovers. ### The Astral Garden Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/nightshade The meditation begins quickly as the blue light scatters through the slow ether. Saturated by the twilight of another dimension, space and time warp around the extra axis, playfully following its arc. The contours reveal the cloak; a fabric of gravity and mass that commits the mind to the temporal. But the mind is forever unbound and free to explore. In fact, we cannot live without wandering the ethereal garden of the mind, outside of time. All humans dream, and are regularly cast into its luminous realm to play out our deepest thoughts. This is the place between those two worlds. It is a bridge between the waking, conscious mind and the timeless perspective of the subconscious dreamer. It is a place for the distillation and purification of thought, where both viewpoints are seen. Long bell tones ring deep into the forested glen as soft, articulate crickets and gentle birdsong provide high resolution detail to the space. Asynchronous tintinnabulations intertwined with equal parts day and night ambience work to create a new mental rhythm that allows ideas to flow smoothly, one thought at a time. That is the goal; to turn a flood of ideas into a pleasant stream of focused thought. This track makes a great ambience over speakers in addition to being a powerful meditation catalyst over headphones. It is especially recommended for individuals who have tried meditation but failed to achieve their goal. For those who are accustomed to meditation, this track will accelerate the ascension and prolong its effects afterward. ### The Beach Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thebeach You wake up on a deserted island beach. How did you get here? The water is very warm. A gentle breeze blows into the forest behind you. Slowly, memory starts filling in; you have vague images of getting caught on a reef, the ship slowly grinding itself into the sea. Abandoning to the life raft with everything you can fit on board, you escaped to this island. The beauty here is spellbinding and mysterious. The emerald water is inviting. A refreshing morning at the shoreline with steady waves and a quiet breeze. ### The Beckoning Ocean Collections: Waves, Abstract Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thebeckoningocean Pushed and pulled by the winds and the moon, infinite iterations of pulsing energy terminate on the land. The spectral wash of the tides reach and spread across the mind as the beckoning ocean calls to you, longing for you to join with the wave, so she may embrace you as she does with all things that enter her. Recorded entirely on the Gulf of Mexico, from the Florida panhandle, all the way to the Keys. 33 different wave patterns are woven together in concert with tonal textures that underscore the mood and drama that is the open ocean. A brief appearance of an operatic soprano vocalist symbolizes the call of the mythical Sirens of the Odyssey. ### The Cloud Engine Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thecloudengine Copious vapor spills out and fills the valleys with clouds as the steam engine converts heat into motion; chugging out horsepower that slowly progresses between a trot and a gallop. The whistle announces the train across many miles and echoes off the valley walls. You are eight cars behind the engine, far enough away for it to occasionally disappear around the turns, and gives a great sense of the serpentine motion along the twisty mountainside rail. You are in an open car; there is no roof, and the sky is blue with big puffy clouds rising into it. This ride was done specifically for this recording, with the focus being realism. The whistle is very loud, we had to add four more cars to get far enough away from it to be tolerable. It will wake you up if you fall asleep. But if you are awake and looking for some virtual reality, The Cloud Engine is an amazing holographic audio experience. The engineer is a master of the rail and a true virtuoso with the whistle that speaks in expressive tones, in a language similar to an inspired jazz improvisation, reacting to and playing off of the different spaces. So for us it is just as much a performance as it is a ride. This track can take you anywhere you imagine, but we got taken to school. The Cloud Engine is a journey, not an ambience. For a more soothing and relaxing ride without the whistle, use its sister track, The Ghost ### The Cloud Forest Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 23 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thecloudforest Entangled, the vapor scrapes against the trees, making them wet. Like a ghost, the breeze hangs still, and the forest begins to shed its newly claimed water into the long green grass below. It’s not actually raining, just dripping, which is extremely relaxing, and you can hear the birds discuss the fortuitous arrival of the cloud du jour. Strong 3D holographic imaging as the drips fall on to the leaves. ### The Crows Collections: Mornings Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thecrows 7 a.m., Late May, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 15 feet above the forest floor in a massive Oak tree. A small black bear passes underneath, foraging for food. Tugging and pulling, she attracts the attention of a passing crow. Instantly, the alarm is cast out to the family, and an entire murder of crows descend on the scene. The intimidation and harassment sequence is initiated, followed closely by the brazen theft of the bear's lunch. To the bear, this is just another day at the office. She casually moves along the riverbank, hoping to get some peace as she is escorted to the border. Camouflaged microphone array suspended in the trees in a gently sloping forest with a stream underneath and a small bubbling waterfall behind and to the left. Hovering above the forest floor gives a great sense of the “below you” activity. When the wind picks up, the massive oak tree makes a knocking sound that reveals it's size. This track is not relaxing in any way. The crows are extremely close at times, within 2 or 3 feet above you, and they are rather aggressive. The Crows is intended for listeners who seek dramatic realism. It is very 3-D, and quite in-your-face about it. The bear is totally silent except for the sound of her foraging below. ### The Dive Listener reviews: 25 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thedive A classic Naturespace journey... underwater. This track is very long and goes through many changing environments. The breathing of the divers becomes hypnotic as you traverse the infinite blue landscape of the submariner. You are left in the surf before the journey begins again. ### The Dreaming Phase Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thedreamingphase A counterpart to The Liquid Phase, this track was recorded in the same place, but many hours later, and with different microphone techniques. There is a much stronger sense of the retreat of the wave back into the sea as thousands of rocks tumble around in the huge surf. It is hypnotic and highly visual as the swells build and collapse, stretching right up to your bare feet. A big powerful sound that is very pleasant, this track is best listened to with headphones. For speakers, we recommend The Liquid Phase instead. ### The Electric Forest Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theelectricforest Dark and brooding, the sky wraps around the forest as the electrons choose their team. Below, the trees sway like spectators doing the wave with pulses of air that spill down from above and swirl around the woods. They provide a sense of shelter, making something pleasant out of an event that would be quite different out in the open.  Once they are fully organized, the electrons huddle in the dark cloud and agree to an attack plan. When the intensity is just right, one of them yells “Charge!” At once, they all bolt down to the surface in a flash, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. The game is on. The nighttime forest environment is actually rather pleasing, with light activity from the nocturnal critters rising through the gentler moments. The ground becomes saturated as the raindrops attempt to penetrate as deep as they can, only to instantly merge with the cold water that preceded them.  This is a very natural storm with stretches of gentle rain between strikes. It can be both relaxing or intense, depending on how you listen to it. Played loudly, the thunder and lightning strikes have some real muscle and will wake the neighbors. Played softly, the storm is gentle and wide, and is great for reading. Bringing a sense of warmth and humidity, this storm can instantly wash away the cold winter outside. ### The Exponential Coqui Listener reviews: 13 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theexponentialcoqui The Coqui, a tree frog that has invaded Hawaii, is a controversial species. Their call, which is a “ko” followed by a “kee”, hence the name coqui, has all but eliminated the quiet that used to exist at night in some places. But for many, its song is fascinating, thought-provoking, and hypnotic. The coqui number in the thousands in this recording, which is augmented with a layer of coqui slowed down for its effect on the mood and fullness of the space. The ping-ponging of the calls across the forest tickle the brain under headphones, and makes a great ambience when played over speakers. ### The Forest Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 6 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/shipwreckedtheforest Afternoon breezes waft through the tall island pine as the birds go about their day. The absence of man is very noticeable. The peace of an island, filled with gentle songs of serenity. An extremely spacious and pleasant day ambience. ### The Ghost Collections: Best Sellers, Evenings Listener reviews: 23 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theghost Passenger perspective on a steam train, mid-summer, Colorado. The Ghost is a descent, which means gravity is the force behind the motion. The steam engine is sonically present, but it is not chugging. You are the only passenger. The sound is primarily the motion of the train down the tracks and the brakes working to control the speed. It's as if the voices of the past are whispering their stories to you as you travel. The Ghost was created to be relaxing and thought provoking, and is a steady ambience with no whistle. The hiss of the steam engine invokes the past, and creates a fantastic experience for the imaginative listener. The inherent risk and danger of traveling by rail, contrasted with it's steady and pleasant sound, gives the mind a lot to work with. Amazing under headphones as you progress through valleys, open spaces and over rivers, as well as being great over speakers as an alternative ambience while sleeping or studying. This ride was done specifically for this recording. It is the sister train track to "The Cloud Engine", and they are intended to complement each other. The Ghost is the ambient one, and is recommended for all listeners. The Cloud Engine is the full-on ride replete with chugging steam engine and whistle. Both tracks are over ten minutes before they loop, providing a great sense of the ever-changing landscape ### The Ice Wind of Mývatn Collections: Wind Listener reviews: 1 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/myvatn The beautiful, inviting color of deep turquoise betrays the dangerous heat contained within the geothermal pools. A strong smell of sulfur wafts along the icy gusts of wind that come in rapid bursts as clouds of tiny ice particles rush over the water, tickling the ice that has accumulated on the bare branches of a lonely bush. There are very few trees on Iceland, so the wind here is unobstructed and very unique. Recorded in the narrowly habitable zone between the hot geothermal pool and the frigid wind, this track captures the sound of ice rain the size of sand grains racing horizontally with the gusts. Vapor wanders above the evocative liquid, whose waves, driven by wind, lap against the edge of the pool as snow falls into the hot water. This recording is an excellent tool for working at a computer, reading, or studying. It is visceral and vivid. The listening level you set will greatly affect the experience. With lower volume levels, it is quite pleasant and adds a sense of cool air to the room. Louder levels make it much more intense and dramatic ### The Imaginarium Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theimaginarium Seductive, wandering shadows of warm moonlight shimmer beneath black velvet clouds that rumble and crack into the invisible sky, randomly flickered and teased with voltage. The trees glow in the electrified air, charged with magic as the rites of summer converge and sweeten into a dark and mystical energy that causes quite a stir. The creatures are fascinated with the forest as the fog snakes its way, like dragon's breath, and envelops the night in its sugary mist. The air is dense, and there is something moving around you. The occasional feeling of being watched rises surreptitiously like a forgotten dream, a déjà-vu of things yet to come. It has all been foretold, but the story is unclear now, as memories twist into fantasy. Who is the protagonist here? It can't be you, you are just a visitor. But which of these shadows belong to the clandestine, who appear to move this night? And who, dare you ask, are they hunting? The premonition tingles your skin just as the rain begins to poke holes in the mist and strike the emerald leaves. The quail are on edge, waiting to take flight en masse at the slightest hint of threat. But you are not one to get nervous so easily; you have more than one trick up your sleeve. Still, it's probably best not to light a fire, there's no need to invite trouble. This epic track is long, dynamic, constantly changing, and is intended for the advanced listener who seeks the journey. There is a great deal of mysterious wildlife activity. The environment is mostly benevolent and dreamy with consistent thunder and very sparse raindrops, adding a dark and cinematic drama to the narrative. There is a lot of movement going on around you, including near to you, as branches crack under the unknown. Verging on the primordial, yet hauntingly both familiar and strange, this track brings out the brave spirit within you. Even if that is a Sasquatch. ### The Indigo Raindrop Collections: Rain, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 22 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theindigoraindrop The frogs, the keepers of the shoreline, sing at the nexus of water and land. They monitor all aspects of their environment, and chorus together as a biotic telegraph, communicating the conditions into the ether… “We need more blue. The lake is looking a bit grey and the moonlight has been lacking shimmer in the grasses. The flowers have requested the Indigo Raindrop.” Unfailingly, the ether responds and sends forth its most mystical color into the night winds who assemble it into a tangle of soft and dark vapor that builds above the lake. And in an instant, the gravity of the cloud collapses and recoils with liquid iridescence that spills like a sublime dye across the midnight landscape. Soft rain spills into the fresh water and strikes the leaves who shelter you, providing spectacular sonic immersion under headphones. It also projects a calming atmosphere over speakers. A good choice for an ambience while sleeping as well as expanding the sense of space in small or confining rooms. ### The Journey Begins... Collections: Newest Releases Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/welcometonaturespace2024 This free 20-minute track is a virtual tour through some of the many diverse experiences in our catalog, curated to showcase how Naturespace is meant to be enjoyed: with headphones on and eyes closed. Your imagination plays a crucial role; each listener perceives and interprets the audio landscapes in their own unique way. As the tour progresses, engage your imagination not only with the sounds you hear but also with their spatial origins. Envision the inaudible elements of each environment: the humidity's cling, the breeze's caress, the earthy scent of the surroundings. These nuances become more tangible as you progress. This is what sets Naturespace apart. By recreating not just the sounds but also their distances and spatial qualities, we offer a deeply engaging and calming experience. You are at the center of it all. Simply relax, close your eyes, and listen as you watch the vibrant tapestry of nature unfold in your mind's eye. ### The Legend of Nikola Tesla Collections: Best Sellers, Thunderstorms Listener reviews: 66 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thelegendofnikolatesla Magician. Inventor. Reclusive showman. This track honors the work, drama, and controversy of the mortal that could wield the lightning bolt... Nikola Tesla. Gentle rumbles, bombastic explosions, heavy thumpers, spidery overhead crackles, and jigawatt spark-gap zaps whose echoes shatter and spray across the land are inset like arrogant jewels into a beautiful golden rain. This track was created for the true holographic thunderstorm enthusiast. An entire season of strikes is arranged with a naturally dynamic pace across a very long and beautiful rain. Listening loud is appropriate, but use common sense. Fantastic over speakers, unmatched in the entire world over headphones. ### The Liquid Phase Collections: Best Sellers, Waves Listener reviews: 21 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theliquidphase From nearly total silence, to the building wave, to its wash onto the land, and into a retreat that leaves you hanging in the nearly total silence again, the effects of this sound on the mind are amazing. This is also a wonderful choice for an ocean sound over speakers. Truly magical and very psychedelic, it is a pristine, unaltered recording made with the world’s finest microphones and recorders at exactly the right moment in space and time. An hour later and it had changed completely. We are left in a state of awe every time we hear it. ### The Night Aria Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 13 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thenightaria 11pm, late September, under a full moon. Loons perform in a concert of distant divas, whose melodic dramas echo across and haunt the lake. A sublime evening mood pervades the air, as soft crickets and wind enchant the listener. It is a very long track, which allows for plenty of space between loon calls and has a wide variety of them, both spatially and lyrically, which keeps it from feeling repetitive. A chorus of distant frogs comes and goes in waves throughout. This track is extremely 3D and creates a sense of calm and tranquility, while subtlely triggering memories of a forgotten dream. Holographic imaging is delicate, detailed, and immersive under headphones, and creates a soft, room- filling ambience over speakers. A truly beautiful evening. ### The Passenger Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thepassenger You are the sole traveller on a modern passenger train. The outside sounds are detailed but muted, as the interior of the car creaks and sways. The horn is soft and the rumble is steady. This is a wonderful track to inspire the imagination, and it does a great job at evoking a timeless sense of traveling. A spectacular choice for reading, this track gives the listener the sense that there is plenty of time to think. The realism gives the subconscious plenty to work with as the mood of the space is infused with a gentle sense of steady, pleasant motion. This track works well over speakers but the immersion and realism are best experienced under headphones ### The Rhythm Veil Collections: Newest Releases, Evenings, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/therhythmveil Cloaked in a shroud of nightsong, the invisibles move unseen, wandering paths only they can perceive. The nocturnal are gifted with extraordinary skills, in tune with hidden networks and unseen patterns. Their lives are intricately connected, forming a web of awareness that links them to one another. Space and time flow differently for beings with 17-year cycles; their patterns echo through the timeless forest… ever-changing, yet always familiar. The katydids call to order the collective, like a conductor guiding impatient musicians. Their rhythm becomes hypnotic, undulating and pulsating in a hemisphere of entrainment, synchronizing all who enter into the sublime dream of time across eons… the forever song. And the invisibles who roam within. Entrainment is a natural process where the rhythms of the body align with external patterns in the environment. This exceptionally long track is crafted to immerse you in the forest's natural groove, gently creating a deeply effective ambience over speakers for sleeping and promoting steady focus under headphones. It is layered with countless subtle details: frogs, crickets, katydids, whippoorwills, and bats orbit the listener across vast distances, while the heart of the forest hums with serene harmony. This track took months of recording to capture this uniquely magical evening, a harmonious and benevolent convergence unlike any other night from this remarkable location. ### The Search Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thesearch A rafting trip on the life raft that got you safely to shore. You explore a river flowing toward the center of the island. It is a beautiful tropical day as you gently row along with the swift, calm current. The sound of the oars as they dip into the river are set against a constantly shifting ambience of wind and light bird activity. The boat does not always move straight forward, it turns and drifts sideways and backwards. It is a relaxing journey best experienced on headphones. ### The Secret Listener reviews: 4 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thesecret Upon arriving at the island’s center, much later than planned, you come across something you never expected. Only two things could be responsible for this - aliens, or the military. But the luminescing flora and biotic machinery are just too pretty to be military... The moonlight is hidden by the dense canopy, whose fractal veins glow and pulse with organic light. ### The Secrets of Sunlight Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Mornings Listener reviews: 12 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/serenitylane Air and light transfuse into chromatic nectar through a steady synthesis of elements that fill the boundary between earth and space. Katydids, butterflies and grasshoppers dance and multiply in the post-meridiem glow. The atmosphere is enchanted with color and radiant birdsong as the wandering shadows of the trees and leaves drift slowly eastward across the soft face of the earth. Gentle breezes evolve into rivers of air that stream the starlight silver pollen through their tumbling currents, refracting the sunbeams into motions that caress the flowers and nourish the organic machines of paradise. This track is the warmest, most pleasant thing ever. The mood is bright and active, but also incredibly spacious and airy. The holographic imaging of the birds, grasshoppers and katydids is spellbinding and immersive. Over speakers, it fills the room with daylight and summer air. Under headphones, the detail of the image is astounding. This track is highly recommended for combating the effects of winter and adding a sense of life to any room. It's very 3D. As usual, it is important to set the volume correctly; playing it too loud will diminish the sense of space and serenity. Start very quietly and raise it from there. ### The Sedona Triangle Collections: Abstract, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 22 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thesedonatriangle Mid-spring, Cathedral Rock vortex in Sedona Arizona. This track is comprised of sounds from 3 locations positioned in an equilateral triangle around the vortex. The first location is in motion, slowly exploring the river. The second location is underneath a line of trees with soft crickets and an occasional breeze. The third location is in open space with many birds passing through and bathing in a nearby puddle. These three spaces are layered and woven together, with the focus shifting in emphasis between them in a steady cycle, but they all remain present to some degree at all times. The cycle becomes hypnotic and is held together by a softly shimmering tonality similar to the track Riverwind Dreaming. This is a classic Naturespace abstract, and is very effective at creating a positive mood. A strong sense of daytime throughout. Excellent on both speakers and headphones. ### The Sentinels Listener reviews: 10 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/whippoorwill Whippoorwills. Their onomatopoetic song spills into the deciduous, sweeping through the hills like a lighthouse, its beacon turning in radiant circles that penetrate deep into the greenery. Rising and falling and moving around, the sentinels of the forest make their way across the nightscape, progressing from tree to tree until all the evening has heard. Their hypnotic messages twirl and dance in the wind, cascading through the valleys on its warm midnight breath. The watcher, the owl, is there in the distance. His night vision is like seeing the future and he wields it with a humble supremacy. He has a message. "A fury has been detected in the distant air - change is coming. Prepare for its arrival." And so the sentinels carry forward. Let it be known: this is the calm before the storm. ### The Ultra-Violets Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/welcometonaturespace The Ultra-Violets are a metaphor for natural elements that exist at the edge of human perception, both in terms of the frequencies we can perceive, and how far away we can discern detail. The avian wildlife that occurs in the space is meant to pull your attention into the distance as the song of delicate and highly articulate crickets and frogs create an almost luminous soundfield spread evenly across the landscape. It is quite long with subtle variation throughout; warm breezes occasionally wash through the scene as the field ambience slowly changes over time. This track works extremely well over all types of speakers, including the iPhone and iPad speakers, adding a soft and airy sense of space to any room. But headphones, especially good ones, are where the real imaging and space occurs, just make sure you don't listen too loud. This is a soft, gentle track and too much volume will make it unpleasant. The idea is to listen as quiet as you can and still hear detail. It's anti-loud. ### The Umbrella Collections: Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 13 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/umbrellarain Every drop that strikes the canvas fires a synapse in the brain, connected to a distant memory. This one from your childhood in your back yard, that one from the time you waited for your dad to pick you up, another from a lost day of golf. The Umbrella is like a movie screen for the projector in your mind to cast its imagery on, using scenes from your memories and experiences. Steady, warm and inviting, this track is excellent for studying, reading, sleeping, and traveling. ### The Watcher of Apollo Collections: Staff Favorites, Sci-Fi Listener reviews: 26 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thewatcherofapolloeleven July 20th, 1969. You are an alien observer in orbit around the moon at the moment of the first lunar landing. Monitoring both voice and data, your orbit slowly carries you away from the activity, around the hidden side of the moon. Here, in the sable solitude, while your instruments record the near-field gravitational shifts and collect energetic neutral atoms from the interstellar boundary, you have time to contemplate how far this species will get. Will their technical abilities progress in tandem with their ability to exist peacefully? There is so much knowledge, so much beauty in the universe, and your desire to share it is immense. But for now, the cloak stays engaged. Observe. Document. Report. You are to remain the watcher until further notice. ### The Wishing Place Collections: Newest Releases, Afternoons Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thewishingplace Here, beneath the serene embrace of an ancient willow, you are free to let go of what weighs you down. The gentle murmur of the river and the whispers of the wind remind you that the universe is not your enemy but your teacher. This is the place to pause, to recharge, to recalibrate. Like a wildflower, the truth begins to bloom: life’s challenges are lessons guiding you toward your own strength. In this peaceful refuge, let your mind wander into the currents of possibility. Meditate. Manifest. Understand that growth comes first, and through it, clarity emerges—not just about what you desire, but also the joy of creating happiness in the lives of others. The Wishing Place is a reminder: to give light to the world, you must first nurture the light within. This track brings you to a tranquil retreat beneath the shelter of a grand willow tree. The pulse of the river against the riverbank provides a sense of connection to the earth, while an array of birds, crickets, and grasshoppers illustrates the atmosphere. Winds sweep in gracefully from the farthest reaches, moving vividly overhead and around you, creating a sense of expansive motion. This space creates a calming atmosphere, inviting both rest and introspection. Designed with extraordinary attention to detail, it’s an immersive experience best explored with headphones, where every element invites you to fully inhabit serenity. ### The Wolves Collections: Evenings Listener reviews: 31 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thewolves It's as if they were watching us, as if they knew what we were thinking. Late one night in Big Sky Montana, we had run low on water and decided to head down to the river, about 10 minutes away on horseback. When we returned, it was clear that we'd had visitors in our campsite. The wolves had descended from the peak, drawn by the amber glow of the fire. Howling and playing by the campfire, we are given a glimpse into the secret world of a wolf pack. ### The World Is New Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 13 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/theworldisnew Guided by spoken words, we wander through the trees, along the wind, into the sky, step outside of linear time, and look within. Holographic natural events and surroundings are arranged to support a narrative that is designed to awaken the nature within us all. Relaxing and positive. ### Thor Collections: Thunderstorms Listener reviews: 25 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/thor The Mighty, God of Thunder, Son of Odin and Mother Earth. Wielding his hammer Mjolnir, his vengeance was meted out with fire in his eyes. But because he did not require human sacrifice in order to honor him, he was loved by the people and seen as a protector and defender against evil. Thursday is named after him. The Thundergod tracks are arranged according to intensity and Thor has the most aggressive strikes and can be startling at times. A steady rain is throughout, and all the thunder is fierce. ### Tide Pools Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/tidepools Large waves break on the rocks 50 feet in front of you as you sit at the perimeter of the shallow tide pools, which are occasionally injected with fresh sea water when the waves break over the wall of rocks. The large breaking waves are distant, and the tide pools are close and delicate. A pattern emerges; as a large wave breaks it is followed four seconds later by a little wave that was cast across the tide pool. An interesting perspective that contrasts the vast power and scale of the open ocean with the smaller micro-world of the tide pools. This track is quite dynamic and a great creative visualization exercise. ### Transcendence Collections: Staff Favorites, Afternoons Listener reviews: 20 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/transcendence Rocky Mountain National Park, 2pm, late June. The blue sky reigns majestic over the land, her cool breath carrying notes of pine and cedar into the valley. The ancient sentinels lie down, their peaks cutting into the clouds, signaling the eternal warning that this is sacred land. The idyllic scene plays out with subtle variation in soft shifts between windy and calm. The aviators, keepers of the land, sing in the language of heaven as the woodpeckers conduct the orchestra of the valley. Sublime and embracing, evoking thoughts of eternity and childhood, this track perfectly re-creates not only the sound of an afternoon in Rocky Mountain National Park, but the emotion of actually being there. Birdsong is bright and active without being distracting, and you can sense the wind approaching from many miles away as it gently arrives to swirl above you. Under good headphones it is beyond immersive, and can create a truly transcendent experience. ### Treehouse Rain Collections: Rain Listener reviews: 24 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/treehouserain A warm end-of-summer rain while perched in a treehouse. The rain moves in curtains and sheets through the trees and on to the rails and deck of the wooden lookout. Bordering on torrential at times, this dynamic rain's intensity changes throughout. The sound is predominantly overhead in the trees. A wind is sometimes felt but not heard. Distant thunder is pleasant. ### Unity Collections: Best Sellers, Staff Favorites, Abstract, Focus and Concentrate Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/unity Occurring since the beginning of human existence, and continuing through all of history, Union not only joins two individuals, but binds all of mankind together as the one experience common to all. And for many, it is the experience of Union that forms our most enlightened moments. It is through this Union that life begets life. It is through this Union that we come to know ourselves as more than just our selves.  This track was made by digitally merging a chordal suspension of tonalities with the ocean. We use the natural rhythms of ocean waves and bond them to chordal relationships which create soft, organic, shifting, pulsing tensions that celebrate the unity of two human beings. Holographic wind chimes, chorusing across many points in space, symbolize the idea that the Union is greater than the sum of its parts. A single note alone conveys no feeling, it takes two notes to create harmony.  You are encouraged to focus your attention on the well-being of others. This thinking reflects itself back into the mind, returning all your outward-reaching thoughts of benevolence and happiness inward, through the mist of the love that others have for you. ### Utopia Collections: Afternoons Listener reviews: 8 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/utopia A perfect afternoon. Light and airy winds cascade through the trees in the meadow, sparkling with songs of supreme contentment from the birds. An incredibly positive ambience that is great for adding a sense of brightness to whatever you may be doing. Somewhat delicate, it does not mask external noises well, and is best under headphones in a relatively calm space. A couple of close birdsong performances keep things interesting. A strong sense of beauty and natural harmony. ### Vacation Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 9 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/vacation There's nothing like getting away from the grip of winter and basking in the sun on the beach. The ocean waves are steady and lush, and at the request of many Naturespace fans, includes the sound of distant seagulls. Fabulous on both speakers and headphones. For an extra dose of realism in the winter try putting on a dab of suntan lotion and stand in a sunlit window. It really works. ### Víðsýni Collections: Waves, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 2 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/vidsyni The eastern shoreline of Iceland stretches in both directions as far as the eye can see, the endless black sand shimmering beneath the rich colors of sunset. Gale-force winds push steadily onto the beach with amazing strength, creating massive waves in the raging sea, thrashing upon the land that arose from the epic battles between volcanos and glaciers. This track was recorded a fair distance from the shore, allowing the width of the sonic landscape to be revealed. The frostbite-inducing wind is intense, cold, and trying to push you over ### Walk to the Beach Collections: Waves Listener reviews: 5 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/walktothebeach A perpetual walk to the beach, with a distant surf ambience, soft crickets and light gusts of wind. The dirt path is mostly fine sand and small pebbles, and you are wearing a pair of running shoes. Under headphones, it can kick-start the dreaming stage and yield some very interesting moments. *This track includes the sound of footsteps. ### We Were Children Once Collections: Newest Releases, Afternoons Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/wewerechildrenonce Distant laughter drifts across an open schoolyard, softened by time, and carried by wind. The echoes of recess ripple through the air like a song half-remembered... familiar, then suddenly vivid. You sit against the fence at the perimeter, beneath a stand of large oaks, as bare branches whoosh overhead. The wind brings everything to you: coach's whistle, bursts of laughter, and the autumnal ambience of suburbia, as visions of childhood splash across the canvas of an open field. This track invites a quiet return to the fields we once ran through, to the joy we didn't know we were having, to the self still waiting behind the noise of growing up. Because somewhere in that golden-lit room of your mind, where forgotten dreams drift like dust in the air, this track is a gentle invitation to come out and play again. ### White Water Fall Collections: Rivers, Steady Sleep Listener reviews: 15 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/whitewaterfall Massive waterfall, dangerously close but not unpleasant. The sheer volume of water that passes every second is so large that it is a constant roar with just a little detail coming from only the very closest sections; all other detail is swallowed whole by the collective rush. There is no better sound for masking external noise. (Noise masking in this context is the act of obscuring an unwanted sound with another more agreeable sound) Many of the “sleep machines” available in stores generate an electronic variant of this sound, known as white noise. White noise is a sound that contains an even balance of all frequencies in the audio spectrum, similar to a radio tuned between stations, and is known for its noise-masking properties. The rushing of a waterfall is the natural form. ### Zen Riverbell Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 20 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/zenriverbell Long, deep, low bell strikes and sparse chimes infused with winding river pathways induce a meditative state that spills into the mind. Cyclical and hypnotic, the low tones require headphones or speakers that reproduce low bass. A subwoofer fills the room with sound. Don’t listen too loud, the realism is lessened. Low listening levels only. ### Zen Wind and Water Collections: Abstract Listener reviews: 27 Page: https://naturespace.org/en/tracks/zenwindandwater Precisely tuned bells and wind chimes articulate and twist in a pine forest as a new wind brings warmth beneath the sun, leaving us with the bells and chimes still ringing and resonating from the late morning breezes.
