I've listened some hypnosis/meditation like this before and I got to say I found this to be very nice and calming.
I could see myself listening this before going to sleep, while trying to empty my mind.
The hope is that after people empty their minds, it then gets filled up with better things :D
I’m glad you liked it!
good voice. good theme. i'm not great at paying attention to only one sense at a time, as you probably know already, but it was also good background noise. i want to listen to this whenever i'm mad online so that i turn into a cat instead
the chime on the first one just about gave me a god damn heart attack though omg
I think you’ll really enjoy episode 4, if I can get the mix to not be awful.
also yeah the first episode’s chime is a bit harsh. I should go back and replace it with the chime I settled on for the later episodes
As the previous comment notes, you have a good voice for this. Plus of course the audio design is great. In podcasts like this there's often a problem where people just put some random music in the background, but here it works really well with the spoken words. Very relaxing.
Thanks, I compose each track specifically for each episode.
Soothing and immersive. You have a good voice for this and the ambient music fits it like a glove! There's some time in the end for listeners to reflect on the whole thing with subtle background noises, I liked that.
I don't think I can call my own experience horny, but there's some kink to this for hypnosis fans.
Curious about the procedurally generated aspect you wanted to do, that sounds like quite a challenge since meditation audio tends to be very smooth and personal.
My plan was to do some procgen on prompts and then potentially feed that into a language model (or a Madlibs-style template) and a sufficiently-tuned TTS system, but it all seemed like a lot of work for very little benefit.
It can probably be done Madlibs-style if you have the music, voices and background noises playing separately. Randomize all 3 lists and play them on top of each other. Reorder one of the lists again whenever its last track is done playing. I think the problem with this setup is that whatever trance effect it may have will be weakened due to the random nature, and then weakened again when the person's brain realizes that the commands have started repeating.
Yeah exactly, it was more work than I wanted to put in for something subpar. I like the authored podcast better.
