For a lot of these like the driving/walking/train can ones I also like to play them in my field of view and keep my eyes trained on them while I work it really helps me lock in… * Miracle Forest ASMR ambience * Driving in rain * Walking in the rain in Boston, MA with binaural rain on umbrella sounds * Train cab ride videos (any of them) * Sometimes if I’m having a really tough time focusing I will play this awful Muzak-core video in the Christmas season it’s so flatly unenjoyable as music that it helps me shut off my brain and do what I need to do * Brown noise

i’m incredibly sensitive to external stimuli, especially noise (which I find a little funny because i’m a musician and surrounded by noise all the time) .Brown noise is a less harsh version of white noise and I find it much more calming to listen to.I play it quietly every night to sleep. Living in the city it helps to drown out all the weird chatter, chirping birds, car screeches, and cat fights. Or when I’m back home visiting family in Atlanta, where it tends to feel too quiet at night, it adds a nice cushion of noise to an overly dead room.Another big use for me is when i’m overstimulated or anxious. On tour, I play it in my noise canceling headphones on long drives while I sleep or read to block out any talking and music. I also listen while I get ready before going on stage so I can focus on just what I need to do instead of getting distracted by what everyone else was doing around me

I’m kind of the opposite. I actually need something playing in the background to get stuff done. Music, a movie, whatever. Total silence makes it weirdly harder to focus
But yeah, what helps me is picking what that background is like choosing a playlist or putting on a movie I’ve seen a million times. That way I’m not just scrolling into the void but I still get that stimulation my brain wants
you know maybe instead of trying to cut it all out you just braiguide it a bit

listening to this on public transit or on my walk to work or when I get home from work or when I’m reading fiction or when I want to listen to some sounds and some beats
Exactly the right sonic texture to overlay with ambient city noises + also happens to trigger my hyperfocus

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
