4K Walk After Rainstorm - Boston, MA - Downtown - Binaural ASMR Walking

Summer · Rain · 44 min · July 2023

Downtown Boston, just after a rainstorm. The walk heads for the Old State House, then the streets around it, threading the parts of downtown where the city's history sits closest together — cemeteries, alleyways, market squares, one after another. This is the busy heart of Boston in the lull that follows rain: streets rinsed, the city going about its business around the old brick. The sound is binaural, caught in the street — alley echo and open market square, each where it was. One honest note carried over from the original recording: in the last few minutes, recorded music was playing somewhere in the background, and the audio there was repaired as well as it could be — better a patched ending than a missing one. The rest is as it was: rain just ended, downtown Boston, and a building that has stood in the middle of all of it for a very long time.

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