Although I have previously uploaded soundscapes of rain and thunder, this is the first to be presented in audiophile 96 kHz / 24 bit clarity, recorded by both my Tascam DR-07 and a stereo Crown Sass microphone for select sections. This track consists of roughly 10 separate recordings from different locations in Michigan, USA, all chopped up across 16 different channels and is meant to have a clear beginning, peak/middle, and resolution. Most of these storms occurred in summer of 2014.

Water Sounds For Sleep, Soothing A Baby Or Studying Preview

At one time or another many of us, through the stresses of everyday life, find it hard to sleep, let alone relax.

When a thunder storm rolled over my rural home, in July of 2012, I was quick to set up my stereo recording equipment next to a small still water. I got wet, very wet as the storm approached from the South West.

Recording thunder isn't easy, you have to baby sit the recorder most times to ensure the levels don't overload. What you get here is thunder and rain, the real thing, not synthesized, but recorded out in the open on a humid gentle summer day in Nova Scotia. There is also a hint of the evening bird chorus in the nearby Acadian Forest.

I have edited the track to help the listener sleep,  with a 1 minute fade in and a 3 minute fade out, it's perfect for sending you to dream land!

For now, to make it more accessible, the recording has been produced as a single track, downloadable for 99c or you can listen to the whole track here:

STS 003: 24 Mins of Tranquil Rain (No Thunder)
In 2015 I released an mp3 of "24 Mins of Tranquil Rain", this is a brand new edit of those recordings but in their original 48 K WAV format. Just like all my soundscapes, you are not hearing one take of a single storm, but in fact are listening to a sound collage of several storms. I used five different recordings, emphasizing quiet to full rain sounds but (for the very first time) no thunder whatsoever. This lends the recording a much more tranquil vibe than any of my other rain releases. All the tapes were made on a small Tascam recorder in various locations around SE Michigan in 2011-2014. The beginning and end are designed to be very quiet, you can hear the droplets landing on the gutter, or splashing in a nearby puddle. One of the ideas behind blending several takes/storms is the ability to capture different sound fields. You can make out the close splashes, the din of the white noise from the open lawn of the backyard, and even make out a distant dog bark or bird chirp.

An Extended Field Recording Collage -
a tool for relaxation, meditation, yoga, sleep, studying, daydreaming and more.

Continuing my recent trend of presenting field recordings in an expanded setting (the 30+ minutes of "Dark Shadows in the Periphery" along with the 14 minutes dedicated to "Green Acres"), comes the latest installment in my ongoing series of rain and thunderstorm recordings. "24 Minutes" triples the duration of my previous rain releases. With the additional room to spread out, this soundscape differentiates itself from my past uploads with a more protracted narrative arc, allowing for deeper listening and a greater variety of storm sounds. Moreso than previous edits, I tried to keep as much human interference (cars, planes, etc..) out of this project. One thing this collage does share with older tracks like "Torrential Downpour in the City" or "Midsummer Thunderstorm", is that it is in fact a collage - about ten separate field recordings are being edited and layered for a specific effect. For this particular soundscape I wanted there to be a long intro and outro with very little thunder and an emphasis on the calming tones of rain and water. Throughout the duration there is a wealth of various water sounds - ranging from loud drips battling against an aluminum gutter (for most of the opening seven minutes or so), to the warm splashes of a light rain falling into a puddle, to the white noise created by a blistering downpour.
A big part of why I typically mix a variety of storms together is to achieve a fuller depth of field so that you can hear rain that is both 8-10 feet away and 50+ feet away. I also like the ability of shaping the storm in the same way as a DJ set.
All the recordings were made with my Tascam DR-07 MK II in the late Spring / Summer of 2015 in various locations in Southeast Michigan.

24 Mins Of Tranquil Rain & Thunder (Pt Two)[Field Recordings for Sleep Relaxation]

"CITY STORM"
PT. 05: SUDDEN DOWNPOURS OF RAIN WITH ROLLING THUNDER

The storm progresses once again, with this chapter the focal point is on a few very loud and clear downpours of rain. Only at the opening and close of the soundscape are passing cars present to remind the listener the setting is still in an urban environment. Remnants of the earlier chapters are still lurking, as rolling thunder grumbles along and the outro is sampled from "Cars Passing in the Night". This cyclical construction helps the mini album maintain its consistency and nocturnal mood.

Headphones highly recommended!

City Storm

City Storm Pt. 05: Sudden Downpours of Relaxing Rain with Rolling Thunder [HD Field Recordings]

Brooklyn NYC + Detroit | Message directly for inquiries about sampling recordings, bookings, collaborations, or questions | Since releasing a series of diverse mixtapes in 2011, Stefanski has slowly turned his focus to his own ambient productions, often built entirely of original field recordings. He has released a wide array of original soundscapes ranging from brief, high-def clips of thunderstorms to extended sound collages, each project sharing a hazy, psychedelic glow. Before moving to Brooklyn, Stefanski curated the chill out room for infamous Detroit after-hours rave BAK DØR. After relocating he released an LP of short field recordinged ("20 X 2"), a podcast for an experimental NYC label (Metamorph) and an album for Bivouac's "60 Minute Cities" series. His relaxing rain soundscapes are some of the most popular on soundcloud, with one clip nearing 14 million streams as of late 2020. More recently Stefanski expanded his productions with visual components, including a new website which hosts the unique travelogue "The San Diego Tapes" and photography prints for sale.
