Night In Kyoto

The calm of the night sets in, few people are outside. The city, quiet, gives way to the faint hum of ventilations, as well as the subtle and peaceful urban rumble.

Recording Story

01 / 16

The night rises in the land of the rising sun. Quietness settles in the streets quite early, people gather to go out in targeted lively areas.

Indeed, nights are very calm in the city of Kyoto, and the quality of silence is significant.

Human presence and some Japanese voices can be heard in some of the recordings, but this collection primarily offers a range of long quiet atmospheres, perfect for building a nocturnal urban landscape.

The different sonic perspectives bring diversity to these subtle and peaceful urban night ambiences.
