Rain is one of the magical sounds of nature. It creates beautiful clouds of sound. Sometimes just noise and then there are these moments of pure natural music.

It took me almost a year to collect the collection of recordings you're about to listen to. For me as a recordist it was one of the most difficult projects ever. Recording raindrops without them being audible when hitting the microphones. Keeping your gear up and running in very humid conditions for a long time. 
In the end I'm proud to present this collection to you as an audience. Take your time to enjoy 75 minutes of rain in very different conditions and landscapes.

Due to illegal downloads I had to mix in some gaps not present in the original files.

A preview of my album Wind in Trees. The aim of this release was to create a collection of natural soothing soundscapes that come as close as possible to pure pink noise. Waving trees, rustling leaves and creaking branches are moved by the forces of nature.

A preview of my album Relaxing Beach. Enjoy almost two hours of natural evolving ocean surf sounds. This cd consists of three different recordings made on the same beach. A more constant low tide surf. An outgoing tide recording which could easily help you into a totally relaxed state of mind. And at last 45 minutes of incoming tide to help you to return to everyday life.

In times of self isolation. I created a restaurant background track to help you create some nice home atmosphere. Enjoy.

Made this one for my wife. She had her birthday last week and because of #covid-19 we weren't able to visit a nice restaurant. She liked it very much and we ended up laughing the whole evening.

With a background in Art and Culture. I have over 20 years of experience in capturing in- and outdoor soundscapes. Using a wide variety of (unusual) microphones and equipment. Since autumn 2009 I am involved in a wide variety of media productions. Ranging from Film, ENG, documentary to commercial.
As a sound recordist with a passionate ear I'm trying to not only capture a clean dialog but also all the tiny details to enhance a production and make it a real Olivier Nijs soundtrack.
