Boston Seaport

Walk After Rain | Night Fog Boston Seaport | Binaural City Sounds [4K ASMR Ambience]

Winter · Fog · 27 min · January 2022

Fog came in behind a light rain, and this walk goes out into it — the Seaport in Boston, at night, in winter. The rain hadn't fully finished; you can still hear it, along with the city's ambience, carried in binaural audio recorded on location. In fog the district loses its far edges. What's left is whatever the nearest light reaches, and a neighborhood keeping its sound mostly to itself. Twenty-seven minutes, filmed in 4K. Walks like this get filmed at night because that's when the Seaport goes quiet enough to hear — the rain thinning out, the last of the evening moving indoors. If a rainy city walk is what you put on to fall asleep or to work, this one is short and steady. And if you know the Seaport by day, the fog makes it a different place entirely. Worth seeing it that way once.

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