Midnight Walking in Heavy Rain & Distant Thunder | Binaural Rain for Sleep and Study

Spring · Rain · 49 min · May 2022

Backstreets of an old New England mill town, at night, in heavy rain. Somewhere off in the distance there's lightning, and the thunder that follows arrives late and low — far enough away that it never quite becomes weather, just a presence at the edge of the recording. The route holds to the side roads while the storm works overhead. The binaural image puts the heavy rain all around you and keeps the thunder in the distance where it belongs. Spring, forty-nine minutes, filmed in 4K. The town isn't named here. It doesn't need to be — every one of these towns has a street like this, and on a stormy night they all keep the same hours. Heavy rain, distant thunder, nothing else asked of you.

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