Fog and Rain (naviarhaiku586)

Following this week's Disquiet Junto project this track was created using a historic recording of the Ravel string quartet from 1928.
This is the sound of a dream, dissolved beyond recognition, but still present as the conscious cause of this unconscious music.

The audio was transformed using spectral synthesizers and effect chains to create this dreamlike rendition. No other sounds or instruments were employed.

Dusk Valley

An immersive rain ambient track using multi-layered rainfall, organic textures and spatial design. 
Built for sensory mute, this piece blends rainstick swells and sub warmth into a soothing, stable 3D mix.

Soft Static Rain

Rainlight Days drifts through soft memories, quiet mornings, and the gentle hush of rain against a fogged window. Lofi OldBoy and Nexus craft this album into a warm, introspective soundscape—layered with muted pianos, soft vinyl dust, gentle chords, distant field recordings, and beats that move like slow heartbeats beneath a grey, glowing sky. 🌧️✨

It’s reflective lo-fi at its most intimate: music for journaling, late-night clarity, cozy corners, or simply pausing long enough to breathe again. Every track carries calm nostalgia and a quiet sense of healing. ☕📘

Slow Motion

Traveller in sound and space.  Enjoying and creating ambient, drone and experimental music.
