Silence is an endangered species, says Gordon Hempton. He defines real quiet as presence — not an absence of sound, but an absence of noise. The Earth, as he knows it, is a "solar-powered jukebox." Quiet is a "think tank of the soul." We take in the world through his ears.

Silence, says Gordon Hempton, is not a luxury. It’s essential to our well-being: "There are answers in the silence. I feel the presence of everything, nothing shouts importance. Quiet is quieting."

An acoustic ecologist and a collector of sound from all over the world, Gordon Hempton says that silence is an endangered species. He defines real quiet as presence — not an absence of sound, but an absence of noise. The Earth, as he knows it, is a "solar-powered jukebox." Quiet is a "think tank of the soul": "Not too long ago it was assumed that clean water's not important, that seeing the stars is not that important. But now it is. And now I think we're realizing quiet is important and we need silence. That silence is not a luxury, but it's essential.

Gordon Hempton — The Last Quiet Places (July 4, 2013)

I love Ringmodulation, so I tried the Ringmodulator and FrequencyShifter Blocks from the NI User Library.
The Audio comes from the Arturia MiniBrute Filter, which I set to self-oscilation.
the FreqCutoff is modulated with the inbuilt LFO.
There are also the NI Rounds Delay and Reverb Blocks involved.
