Relaxation

For this audio assignment, I completed “All the Relaxation.” The goal was to create a loopable, layered soundscape that you could listen to for a long time to relax.

I used Audacity to build a calming, nature-based scene.

1. Base Layer: I started with a long, steady track of light wind to create the main atmosphere.
2. Spontaneous Sound: To make the scene feel more alive, I added a “spontaneous sound” as the prompt suggested. I used some bird calls, placing it in the track so it feels like a natural, random event.
3. Layered Sound: A bit after the bird call, I slowly faded in a track of gentle rain.

I used the Time Shift tool and fade in tool to make sure the sounds didn’t just stack on top of each other, but rather flowed from one to the next. The wind is consistent, the bird call is a single event, and then the rain builds up, creating a full and peaceful audio environment.
