synthquest: relaxing, ambient soundscapes17 Sep 2021

eye of the storm

welcome to synthquest: improvised, ambient soundscapes! i could not be more thrilled to share this spontaneous (and soothing) creation with you. this week's episode was hurricane themed by listener-request while they waited for Hurricane Ida to pass. livestream listeners requested a dark ending (there was such an increasing fatalistic energy around Ida coinciding with the climate report release). I hear hear some sounds in this episode that remind me of the tornado sirens that frequently sound here in Nashville.

if you'd like to donate to support Hurricane Ida recovery in NOLA, I recommend donating to the Mutual Aid Response Network here: https://donorbox.org/ida

i highly recommend listening to synthquest through headphones. i'll also suggest settling into someplace comfortable to listen, or listening during a bath, massage, on a walk, while you make dinner — basically wherever you go or whatever you do to relax and decompress.
