Philadelphia in 3D Audio - Walking in Rain 4K - ASMR Binaural - Rainy Night

Spring · Rain · 47 min · May 2023

A rainy night in Philadelphia, walked from Rittenhouse Square out to the Schuylkill River and on to the train station. Different city, same discipline: night, rain, binaural 3D audio, everything recorded on location. Philadelphia carries its rain at its own pitch — a different traffic, a different echo — and the route gives the city three registers: the square, the river path taking the storm without complaint, and the station at the end of it. These walks usually keep to New England; this one trades it for Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia repays the visit. A city many people only know from passing through, met on foot, after dark, in the rain. For study, for sleep, as ever — but worth one open-eyed viewing for the river stretch alone.

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