Full transcript: I am changing the content of this podcast. I believe that quality, long form white noise is helpful to many and I am happy to continue to provide what I can. However it is disingenuous for me to only post this. I have been considering the purpose of something like white noise. I use it to put my children to sleep and it works very well. In their case I believe what they are receiving is a "Turning on" of what would naturally be experienced by any creature on earth. Nature sounds and static natural noise sooth people because it is a return to a normal state. However, for myself and many others I believe these sounds serve the opposite purpose. When I use white noise, I am not trying to turn on naturally occurring sounds that I would be biologically accustomed to. I am trying to turn off my inner dialogue. I think that many people have been unknowingly exposed to traumas that replay in our heads constantly. Disappointments, past mistakes and regrets unrelentingly play in our minds and we need something to turn those voices off. At first, I was trying to supply these sounds to help people have a calm life. But as I make and post these sounds I hear an alarm ringing in my head telling me that I am ignoring what is actually going on: I am formulating audible experiences to help myself escape my own head and sharing them. After coming to this realization I stopped posting. However, I came to a secondary realization: it is possible to be aware and comment on what I'm doing. Art is often the product of a secondary expression of an experience. However, the most modern audience is tired of secondary expressions. I know I am. As of now, the most useful content is first hand expression of exactly what the creator is feeling and what they are going through, but, expressed in an artful way. So, I hope to continue to post quality, long form white noise. But, I also want to release criticisms on those sounds and supply context for why I made the sounds that I release. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/black-screen-white-sound/message
