Heavy Rain in Beacon Hill - 4K Boston, MA - Binaural ASMR Walk at Night

Summer · Rain · 1 hr 10 min · June 2023

Heavy rain in Beacon Hill at dusk, with just enough light left to read the brick. This is one of Boston's oldest neighborhoods — colonial homes, cobblestone roads — and rain suits it. The walk runs from dusk into night as the streetlights come on, which is the hour this part of the city feels most like itself. Cedar Lane and Acorn Street are both in here; the filmmaker names them as his favorite corners of the neighborhood, and the footage makes the case. The audio is binaural: natural rainfall and city sounds, recorded on location as the storm worked over the old brick. An hour and ten minutes, dusk to dark. Put it on to work, to fall asleep, or just to stand in heavy rain on Acorn Street without getting wet.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
