Ambient Soundbath Podcast #86 – A Still Forest

Author: Universal Mind/ Matt Borghi May 19, 2020 Duration: 0:00

There’s a particular quality to the soundscapes in Ambient Soundbath Podcast that feels less like a performance and more like an environment you can step into. Created by musician Matt Borghi and presented by Universal Mind, this series is built from the ground up as a dedicated space for mental respite. Each episode is a long-form, instrumental composition designed to dissolve the clock, offering a backdrop for deep focus, meditation, or simply a pause from the day's noise. The intention isn't to demand your attention but to support it, whether you're listening closely on headphones or letting the tones blend into the air of your room. Hailing from East Lansing, Michigan, Borghi crafts these pieces with a careful ear for texture and flow, resulting in a consistently serene and immersive podcast. It’s music that functions as atmosphere, providing a reliable sonic haven for anyone in need of quietude. The experience is intentionally timeless, sidestepping trends and beats in favor of sustained, contemplative moods. Tuning in feels like finding a quiet corner in a busy world, a place just for thinking and being.
