Solstice
By Naturespace · 3 reviews ·
The forest trail warms in the mid-morning light on the longest day of the year. Grasshoppers sun themselves in the radiant heat of the narrow path that gently winds its way up the mountainside. Cool breezes rise up from the valley, filtered through the ascending canopy. Counterpoint to the rising air are pinecones that cascade earthward through the branches of the trees and tumble down the mountain slope into the valley below. Steady activity from bluejays and squirrels, passing through in the midst of a very productive day, embellish the incredibly pleasant and idyllic environment. Warm and inviting, there is plenty of shade to filter the intensifying heat of the sun as it travels over the forest below. There is a unique perfection and harmony to this detailed and dynamic environment. Benevolent, lively, and engaging, this track is extremely effective for encouraging a healing mental state by providing your mind with a space where everything is safe and tranquil: there is no conflict, there are no problems, and everything is as it should be. Many atmospheric variables come together to create a rare balance of perfection. This track is immersive, vivid, and pleasant under headphones; as an ambience over speakers, it is bright, airy, and positive. Listening too loud greatly lessens the realism of this track. We strongly recommend starting with the volume set low and gently raising it until it feels natural.
What listeners say
I love this track so much. Great at work and even sitting outside with headphones on. Lol. It can be hard to find peace of mind during winter in the north but this helps. It's so amazing.
A gentle morning breeze through pine trees. There are birds and other wildlife which are fairly active in the track, but in a way that feels very relaxing. Everyone is just going about their business, mostly from quite a distance away. There's a nice sense of space on this track, you can really hear the distance, both vertical and horizontal. An echoing quality suggests being on a mountainside. The pine cones don't fall too near, and mostly result in a crackling sound at various distances. A nice morning track that is very "chill" and doesn't have running water.
If you like Ascendency Of The Redwoods then this might appeal also. They have a similar character. A nice mellow background of wind in conifers, near constant pop and snap of deadfall in the form of pine cones and twigs and sparse birds. There is a particularly nice flyby by a bird on this track and the falling cones add a hypnotic quality to the track. I use it for both meditation and as background noise. Works well for both. The wind picks up in the middle of the track giving a nice lift to the ambience. Feels quite lonely and sparse and I enjoy the deadfall, it's almost like listening to a fire at times.
