想像の園
By Naturespace · 15 reviews ·
温かな月光に縁どられた影が、黒いベルベットの雲の下で妖しく揺らめく。雲は見えぬ空で低く唸り、稲妻の気配にかすかに明滅している。帯電した空気のなか、木々は淡く発光し、夏の気配が静かに重なり合い、甘く濃い神秘へと深まっていく――その気配は、森にざわめきを掻き立てている。霧は龍の吐息のように森を縫い、砂糖のように淡い靄で夜を包み込む。その流れに、森のものたちは知らぬ間に引き寄せられていく。 空気は濃く、すぐそばで何かがうごめいている。見られているような感覚が、忘れかけた夢の底から忍び寄り、まだ訪れていないはずの記憶の既視感となって胸にまとわりつく。すべてはすでに告げられていたはずなのに、物語の輪郭はいまや曖昧で、記憶は幻想へとほどけていく。ここで主役は誰なのか――少なくとも、あなたではない。ただの訪問者にすぎないのだから。この夜を動かしている影はどれか。密やかに潜む者たちは、いったい何を狩ろうとしているのか。 やがて雨が霧に細かな裂け目を穿ち、翠の葉を静かに打ちはじめる。その瞬間、予兆はかすかに肌を走る。ウズラたちは張りつめ、わずかな気配にも一斉に飛び立つ寸前で身をひそめている。それでもあなたは、容易に動じる者ではない。いくつもの術を心得ている。とはいえ、火を起こすのは避けたほうがいい――余計なものを呼び寄せかねない。 この長大なトラックは、絶えず姿を変えながら進む旅そのもの。耳を澄ませば、その流れは自然とあなたを連れていく。森のあちこちで、得体の知れない気配がひそやかに息づいている。環境はおおむね穏やかで夢のように漂い、遠雷は絶えず、雨はごくまばらに落ち、ほの暗い緊張をにじませる。周囲では絶えず何かが動き、ときにすぐ近くで、見えぬものが枝をきしませる。原初に触れるようでありながら、どこか懐かしく、同時に異質でもあるこの世界は、内に潜む勇気を静かに呼び覚ます。 たとえそれが、ビッグフットであっても。
What listeners say
Is the imagamarium recorded in Australia? I’m at Ferndale on holiday and I hear these same sounds. Amazing!
My hands down favourite track. This one really is a bit of an adventure but not in any way scary. There's just a strange kind of intrigue to it that keeps you hanging in there listening for the next unexpected thing. There are layers to this one. So saying that, I have anxiety and strangely enough this is one of the most soothing tracks I've purchased. Right up there with gurgling water and ocean waves. I love doing my evening meditation to this one. The thunder rolls across the sky and I can almost feel it shaking out all my anxious thoughts from the day. This is one I never get sick of listening to. Totally unique in the nature track category as it's a bit like listening to a fairytale.
All I can say is, this track is in chanting, I listen to this while meditating on the morning of the summer solstice, and had an amazing experience, well done nature space, you've done it again, thank you
Very good and mysterious 💫💫💫💫💫
I've been listening to this track for a while now, and I like it. The rain is soft and at times picks up the pace. Bird calls are pleasant, while other animal calls can be heard in the distance. There is a lot of activity in the brush in front of you, while the occasional flying insect whizzes by. Intermittent thunder rumbles softly overhead although intense at times. I hear a buzzing which could be a microphone picking up the lightening strikes. I hear strange cries and howls. This track definitely takes the imagination to some interesting places. There's even a strange animal screech to the left and a ferocious growl to the right of you ... what the heck was that?! Was that a bear or coyote? The faint human voices I hear from a far, do they know what lurks beyond? LOL
The Imaginarium has tremendous atmosphere and colour. Wind, falling raindrops, deep thunder, insects, birds, far off human calls, assorted rustlings, and one soft chuckle echoing from the depths, combine to create a kind of narrative arc for the imagination. There are also unrecognizable sounds that make you take notice adding to the subtle mysteriousness of the whole experience. Through headphones, the sound stage has tremendous depth and is extremely detailed, with sounds occurring from close proximity to the extreme distance, and a very wide left to right spread. This is one of the best recordings in the collection. It is distinctive in that it tells a kind of story and is more than just a great recording of specific nature sounds. The overall effect is surprisingly soothing, yet always interesting. I use it to fall asleep and it seems to stimulate dreams and my ability to remember them. Highly recommended!
One of my top 5 tracks. I LITERALLY listen to it before bed, to help me fall asleep. If I focus enough on this track, I always hear something new.
This is a fabulous journey track. My once vivid imagination (dulled by years of corporate drudgery) took me by surprise by leaping into action within a few immersive moments. The rolling thunder and occasional eerie animal calls are perfection. A firm favourite.
Oh my goodness!!!!!! The other reviewers have described this track well - very long, spaciouse and close to perfect in its balance of relaxation / mystery. There are some "wow" moments that really sold me on the track. First, was the fly that flew around my head. You can actually hear it move through your headphones as it goes foe left to right AND in front and behind! The second incredible moment were the very distant human voices. There is something jarring about them. When I listen, I always imagine that I am in a forest at night. All alone and hidden. I feel safe knowing that I can't be scene; yet, every new rustle makes my imaginary eyes try and pierce the darkness to get a glimpse of what animal is near. Brings me back to playing "find the counselor" at camp during the night. Thank you Naturespace!
This is my favourite track, the sounds are very soft, some times for me crickets at night can be very high pitched and and annoying when trying to sleep. Here they are soft as is the rain and thunder. I love the deep birds sounds I am a fan of owl sounds and hoots and there is plenty in this track. Love this one A+
Beautiful. Perfect for sleep and those times in the early morning when you'd rather be asleep. Overall, I highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic. I can almost feel the breeze on my face. Naturespace provides another winner. I love this app!!!
Although all Naturespace tracks are skillfully recorded, only a few of the new tracks this year have really stood out to me as instant favorites so far. This is one of them, and beyond that, it's unique in the entire catalogue. This is like spending the evening in a primeval forest teeming with all kinds if creatures. That might make it sound busy, but it's not. Everything is so well spaced and paced, set against a calm yet tense background of distant rumbling thunder and crickets/frogs somewhat like the track Loki. Perfectly interspersed throughout are various wildlife sounds, heard anywhere from very close to just barely within hearing range. This lends an air of mystery - what kind of creature was that? Many of sounds are unexpected. But, as unexpected as it is, it's never jarring. Also, though it's hard to say for sure since the track loops seamlessly, I could swear this one is at least a full half hour in length, and seemingly infinite if you let your imagination go. But one request if I may: The brief interlude of what sounds like very distant coyotes makes me continue to wish for a night track where occasional coyote calls are a feature (more distant and ambient than the Wolves), and maybe a light wind through dry desert brush... Naturespace, please explore the deserts and canyons of the southwest, we have sounds here!
I grabbed this track almost as soon as it showed up in the New Release notification in the app, and it's been on almost non-stop since I got it. It's a well- rounded nice, long complex track with lots happening. This is definitely a warm-weather recording, the barking robins and humming insects as they fly past are a nice touch - they make me SO ready for warmer weather.. Can winter be over now? At least in my bedroom here tucked under rhe duvet with the Imaginarium running, for a little while, it is. If you're ready for a bit of a mental pick up, this track is the cure for the winter blahs. Just a tip-top effort, thanks Naturespace!
This track is really well done, and the description of it really sets the mood and captures it very well. Sometimes serene, sometimes a little ominous (with thunder and a strange animal noise here and there), this is a really nice track for evoking a contemplative yet relaxed mood. The changes don't come at you right away, but rather I feel like I'm eased into them. There's a lot of depth here. Thanks Naturespace!
