01 | 01 Replacement Soundscapes: Taihu: Day

By the lake the grass blows as the water shimmers.
Local fishers sleep in the midday sun.
They leave their fishing huts over the water.
Desolate winter.

This audio track is part of the project: Replacement Soundscapes. The collection is meant to introduce and support a biophilic atmosphere for your home or work. Use it during work, journaling, or meditation.

In biophilic design for corporate environments, opportunities to introduce intangible concepts such as sound and scent are often overlooked. Using locally recorded nature sounds as a white noise background creates a familiar place for listeners and softens the cold, sterile environments that offices can be. The audio volume should be barely audible.

Pair these recordings with an earthy aroma and plants to relieve stress and enhance your experience.
