Flickering Fire by Ocean Seaside | One Hour

Picture yourself standing on the seaside. The fire warms your hands. The ocean waves crash in the distance. Birds chirp. The fire crackles and pops. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the campfire pull away your anxiety. Focus on the soothing sound of nature. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.

Why I made this soundscape:

We used to go down to Asilomar Beach when I was a teenager. In the evening we’d get a bonfire going. Someone would usually have a six pack of beer that we somehow shared between eight people. I don’t think you can do any of that any more. It’s against the law to build a bonfire these days and I doubt the police let teenagers split a sixer. I recall being excited one of those evenings. A girl I 'liked' was coming. She’d told me she was taking anthropology over at the junior college. I had lied and told her I was doing the same. So, there may have been beer and bonfires, but it was more like a study date. It never worked out with the girl, but I did end up taking a semester of anthropology.

This Flickering Fire by Ocean Seaside Soundscape is a replica of that place. I hope by listening to it you find the happiness and calmness I felt there.
