클라우드버스트
By Naturespace · 9 reviews ·
10월 10일, 동쪽으로 이어지는 싱글트랙을 9.6킬로미터쯤 들어간 지점. 불과 15분 전만 해도 하늘은 맑게 푸르렀고, 초가을 오후의 햇살이 따뜻하게 내려앉아 있었다. 그런데 몇 분 사이 찬 전선이 밀려들며 공기 속에 비의 냄새를 싣고 온다. 우리는 발길을 돌려 방금 지나친 작은 쉼터로 돌아간다. 타이밍은 완벽했다. 폭우에 붙잡히는 일에는 묘하게 단순한 무엇이 있다. 그냥 앉아… 기다린다… 멈출 때까지. 도시와 동네에서 살면 이렇게 비에 갇힐 일은 거의 없다. 대개는 차에서 집까지 가는 동안 조금 젖는 정도다. 하지만 야생에서는, 특히 산에서는, 거의 매일 벌어진다. 그때마다 너는 마른 자리를 찾고, 있다면 거기에 앉아 물의 순환이라는 놀라운 광경을 바라보게 된다. 비는 생명이다. 자연이 정한다. 그리고 너는 여기 있다. 벽 없이 지붕만 있는 구조가 이 트랙의 소리를 다르게 만든다. 대부분의 소리는 중거리와 원거리에서 머문다. 가까이에 빗방울이 닿지 않으면서 전체가 더 부드럽고 앰비언트하게 가라앉는다. 지붕 아래에 있다는 기척, 가장자리에서 흘러내린 물이 웅덩이로 떨어져 모이는 흐름이 느껴진다. 바닥은 금세 물을 가득 머금는다. 또 하나의 특징은, 마른 땅 위로 비가 갑자기 시작되는 순간과 공기가 식어가는 과정이다. 소리는 공기를 통해 이동하고, 그 온도가 바뀌는 공기는 소리의 결을 미묘하게 바꾼다. 거의 기온이 내려가는 소리가 들릴 듯하다. 이 트랙은 환경의 미세한 분위기와 질감에 초점을 둔다. 끝까지 고르게 이어져 방해받는 느낌이 없다. 공부와 집중에 잘 맞고, 수면을 위한 신뢰할 수 있는 배경이 되기도 한다. 헤드폰으로 들으면 공간이 넓게 펼쳐진다.
What listeners say
Kudos to the NatureSpace team for this one! I love the sound of the rain in this track ... it reminds me of the sound of rain here in the country ... how it's falling off the roof and pooling on the ground. When we get rain like this during the warm months, I love to have the windows wide open so I can hear the water run off the roof and pool on the gravel driveway and make puddles in the grass. Unfortunately, once the rain starts, we are forced to close the windows to keep the rain from getting in the house and causing damage, so I thank you for the dry experience.. When listening to this track at a low volume, the rain sounds soft and steady; turn up the volume, and the raindrops sound large and saturating, drenching everything in its path. Love this!
Love this track! Takes me back to my days stationed at Fort Lewis, WA and the constant rain during field exercises. The only shelter, a rickety, leaky, old shack, probably built in WWII! I would drift off in that shack and find peace in the rain. Forgetting the horrors of my deployments and reveling in the peaceful cleansing of the rain. Thank you NatureSpace! I can find that peace again in this wonderfully recorded track!
令人平靜的雨聲,現實感很強。適合學習及睡覺時播放。
The rain track I have been looking for. What a vivid yet non-intrusive sound space! At low volume levels it is the perfect white noise for reading or browsing the web without audible distractions to jerk you out of your train of thought. At slightly louder levels, it is perfect for closing your eyes and getting lost in the shelter in the forest. Love it!!
The soothing sound of falling rain is a favorite of mine for reading, relaxing, and sleeping. Cloudburst is a welcome addition to my Naturespace rain tracks, because it's unlike any of the others that I own. Cloudburst is a steady rain with no distractions and it falls somewhere between Eternal Reign (more gentle) and Soft Forest Rain (more dynamic). Highly recommend!!
This was recorded on my birthday! I love the sound of rain. Being deployed someplace where the average yearly rainfall is less than four inches, I deeply miss the sound of rain. This is PERFECT when relaxing in the evenings and when falling asleep.
This is my favorite rain track since Liquid Sunshine. This one's a lot wetter overall - a steady downpour in a deciduous forest. There is a quality of big, fat raindrops hitting a layered canopy of leaves. The picture is perfect because it does remind me of a rainstorm in early fall, when there are still some leaves on the trees. Sometimes there is a faint rumbling suggesting distant thunder, but its very faint. This does have a strong sense of multilayered space.
I have many of Naturespace's rain and storm tracks, but in just a few days of owning Cloudburst it's become one of my favorites. It's a very steady rain with gentle backdrop of water on leaves and the forest floor. It does have a sense of cooling off, as the description suggests. It is subtly dynamic but not distracting. I especially love it over headphones as an ambience for studying at home. It's not as strong at masking external sounds as other tracks, but does help draw my attention away from sounds in the environment. Thanks for another great track!
This is a what I would call a softer version of "soft forest rain". It's a nice, steady rain which makes for good background noise. I didn't notice much detail change throughout, so if you're looking for an experience like that, there's plenty of great tracks on here. Still an enjoyable track! Thanks Naturespace!
