A gentle garden, with birdsong and babbling brook, gives way to mind-expanding mysterious textures. This binaural begins with a decent from 30Hz to 4.2Hz and then maintains that frequency for the remainder.

Mysterious Garden Binaural

A dark and mysterious delta wave excursion into deep mind. I'm tempted to call this one "Digital Ayahuasca" or "Brain Cleaner" since it's the kind of binaural experience that often leads to deep, personal insights and awareness.

Synaptic Recalibration Binaural

This is a fairly straightforward drone-type meditation augmented with distant chants from a cross-section of cultures. We've experienced some potent "teachable moments" with it. Maybe you will, too.

Connection 1 Binaural

Have a nice float in this full-spectrum binaural ambience.

Celestial Mind 2

Two new binaurals created using Boris Kovalev's EVOX synth to generate shifting textural soundscapes, one 30 minutes in length and one 60.  We're also using a new technique to generate "full-spectrum" binaurals, where everything in the track is reinforcing the…

This one's a dreamy atmosphere with just enough mystery to keep it interesting.

Celestial Mind 1 Binaural

A trancy-dancy EDM festival in the middle of a jungle? The theta binaural beats combined with drum circle and spacey electronica make this one a groovy ride. Have fun!

Jungle Encounter 3

Kept indoors by the snow and cold, John-Mark continues to find inspiration in recording household appliances.  While the washing machine gets top billing, the oven, tea kettle and dryer all play supporting roles, with musical assist from an amazing program…

This two hour binaural is based off a field recording of the full duty cycle of a Bosch Dishwasher, slowed down and resonated into a swirling, evolving drone.

Bosch Majestic Binaural

This binaural will help amplify feelings of calm, encourage sleep, and possibly seed lucid dreaming. It's a simple drone with some additional dreamy sound cues echoing throughout, all saturated with lush, endless reverberation. Served very chilled.

Emotional Flotation Device

This is the first time we've used a fugue approach - so let us know if you like it! The binaural element is frequency isolated in the mix, so it should provide a strong and consistent effect. Enjoy!

Fugue State…

As promised, we finally got around to posting the recording we did at Benjie's Lake back in November.  Hoping for the return of a moose cow and calf that had been reported earlier, we paused for a long time at…

The weather in Halifax is keeping us in more than we'd like, so we're working on material we recorded earlier in the year and new binaurals. 

Here's the latest -  Awakening II

Here's 20 minutes of natural white noise masking, courtesy of Corney Brook Falls, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The 4K wide original wasn't that interesting, so we opted for a long, slow tilt down the falls in 1080 HD instead.

Apparently, Cheticamp decided to give us a preview of all the winter weather we were going to be missing as we drove away - hail, snow and freezing rain - but our trip to Halifax was relatively uneventful. 

Well, we've definitely enjoyed the last of fall here in Cheticamp.  It's getting chilly and the overcast days definitely outnumber the sunny recently. 

It was cold on our visit to Benjie's Lake, and we found small patches of snow along the trail - the first we've encountered this year.

We've set out for Beulach Ban Falls many times but we always seem to get distracted by some sight or sound on the way there.  This time we finally made it.  It was chilly, and the sun wasn't in the…

So once again we set out for Beulach Ban Waterfall, and once again we got distracted by the natural beauty along the way.  This time it was the larger-than-usual surf at Le Bloc and the beach where Corney Brook meets…

Corney Brook Trail follows its namesake to a waterfall some 3.3 km from the trailhead. Along the way, the stream widens and narrows, joining with others until it cascades into the ocean a short distance below the start.

Today's posting is a field recording from MacIntosh Brook Falls on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We'll post video when we get a chance, but the audio alone is quite nice too.

The microphone was placed…

Gypsum Mine Lake is so close to our AirBnB that we could visit any time with ease.  And since it's outside the Highland National Park we had a couple opportunities to get out the drone and look at those beautiful…

We left Port Hawkesbury headed to Cheticamp for a month, and had an arrival window that gave us a couple hours along the way to stop and make this recording at Myles Doyle Brook.

We've stayed in quite a few short-term rentals at this point.  This particular home is equipped with a Hellmouth Toilet.  Imagine getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and seeing this eerie red glow coming…

It was a cloudy day, but the sunset put on one last show on for us as we prepared to leave the south end of Cape Breton.  Field recordings give our trips purpose and focus, but what they really are…
