Ambience/ASMR: Artist's Studio/Parlour from the 1920s, 4 Hours

List of Sounds: a gentle chorus of birds, the artist's best companions, whose society bolsters spirits but does not break the spell of the muse, whose unfailing cheer in every weather eases melancholy (lauding clouds and rain with devotion equal to their singing praises of the sun), whose grateful welcoming of day (gratitude as antecedent to the gift of dawn rather than result) heralds the edifying ever-newness of each morning, whose tender melodies (with all the familiar repetition of lullaby) soothe the sensitive soul the quiet crackle of a fire all the more generous because it is only barely needed: it flickers away the last remaining damp and chill of a warming season but is primarily a token of appreciation and consideration for the model, who will find it easier to pose in natural splendor when wrapped in fireside warmth and glow, having then no need of other garments intermittently, the distant ringing of wind chimes, kissed into song perhaps by the breeze or by the fluttering-through of garden-fairies, who seem the natural and obvious inhabitants of the only-half-tended profusion of springtime blossoms (the spring garden thus abounding with a lushness approaching wildness, spilling over walls and paths with the uncontained and riotous beauty of inevitable, all-conquering vitality -- it is in this season that the haven becomes a true artist's retreat, dappled everywhere with color and perfumed with the love-fragrance of flowers) the meticulous preparation of stretched linen canvases (each step performed with the calm competence of well-honed routine but with the mindfulness of what is done for the first time, as if caring for something alive): a slow, even coating with diluted gesso (the canvas then set aside to dry not too near the fire), a smoothing & buffing with fine sandpaper and a practiced touch, a second coating with gesso using strokes perpendicular to the first (transferred again to some warm place to "nap" until dry), a second delicate smoothing & buffing, the artist focused on all of this as on a meditation that allows the inspiration, the vision, to arrive the tickle, sweep, dab, and lap of brush against canvas in a living rhythm of creation, which makes-manifest and brings-into-being just as Nature births her verdant lavishness through her own limitless, self-renewing fecundity -- both Nature and artist give form to the formless longing of Life for itself the clicking of wooden brush-handles as the perfect tool is chosen; the assiduous swishing and washing of bristles in turpentine or in water, the brushes having long ceased to look "new" but adopting instead the far better appearance of belongings used often and loved well the dance of charcoal and paper, alternately dizzyingly nimble or slowed into dreamy embrace, with the artist's true skill revealed in the way that blankness does not merely receive the line, the shade, but is instead partnered with them the rummaging-through and clinking of paints and pigments, of solvents and spirits, of pencils and pastels; the systematic opening-up of wooden drawers and pots and jars; the artist's determination to find just the right hue or medium, guided sometimes by noble ideal and sometimes seemingly by caprice the rustling of loose papers and sketchbook pages, as one draft after another is evaluated with both the freedom and the ruthless practicality of experimentation; everything irks or dissatisfies until the right idea announces its arrival and the whole world shuffles neatly into place hidden in the interstices of art made busily alive, a silence: sunlight, the soft springtime air, the wordless striving toward a Vision that stills all other senses * Question: What is an ambience video? Answer: Soothing background images & sound for relaxation, study, play, or work; gently occupies an anxious or unfocused mind without causing unwanted distraction; creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere; personalizes sparse or sterile environments; enlivens spaces where we live or work alone; fills silence with more subtlety & warmth than music or TV; offers softly dynamic "rainbow noise" instead of monotonous white noise; enhances interior design & personal style by turning screens into live photographic displays * A NOTE ON ADS: This channel attempts to be ad-free & noncommercial, in resistance to ever-more-intrusive & ubiquitous ads and unsustainable, dehumanizing consumerism.
