Happy Sunday y’all! Today I have a slow moving ambient piece that includes waves of brown noise - something that I find calming. Part of my purpose in experimenting with ambient music and sounds is to hopefully find things that provide some relief to my tinnitus. Some ambient noise helps to mask the non-stop ringing that I hear all the time.
