Rain Sanctuary by Curt Stump

Composed in Portland, Oregon. Each track combines recorded rain with ambient instrumental music. This is a deeply relaxing and engaging album that drifts through a beautiful landscape of rain.

"Rain Sanctuary" is where you come when you like the sound of rain. It's a haven for you. The rain sounds on each track are different and are combined with layered, rich, and evolving ambient instrumentals.

For pure joy try "Dream of Rain." For dynamic story try "Deep Emotional Rain." For drifting into the unknown try "Drifting Rain." For a full and immersive ambient experience let the album play from start to finish. This album is great for consciousness-based practices such as meditation and yoga. And for active listeners it's a real sound journey.

A special note about the track Pure Rain...
That track is only rain, recorded live in one session in a single location. Just listen to it though -- the richness, the spatial stereo field, the dynamic range, the development from beginning to end. It's just rain but there is a lot of sound going on. You can listen passively to this track and it's lulling, relaxing. But if listened to actively you hear the depth and nuance and richness of something often overlooked. This type of active listening is actually how I approach making music. I like to hear nuance in real life, and also in my music.
