This video features a specially mixed version of two tracks from the album, “Soft Focus Ocean” and “The Joy of Quiet Rain.”
“I think there's a deep connection for each of us with the sounds of nature, it's something that's in our DNA, and is not peculiar to New Age or any other form of music, though New Age artists have long embraced the use of nature sound audio. Especially in our e-world, where there are so many distractions and competitions for our time, I think folks just don't get outside enough, and music or sound effects that we associate with more relaxed times can be very healing. ... In 1988 when I was experiencing panic attacks and stress I didn't go to the ocean expecting to be so deeply relaxed by the sound, it just happened unexpectedly. The constancy and deep sonic resonance of the ocean was and is comforting. I think rain sounds can be relaxing for many of the same reasons.” —Chuck Wild
