Coastal Night Soundscape
We recorded this coastal night soundscape from a hotel window overlooking Korea’s west coast, capturing the steady rhythm of ocean surf as it rolled in through the darkness. Waves break continuously against the sandy shoreline, creating a calm and immersive backdrop. The slightly enclosed window perspective adds a natural sense of distance while still allowing the openness of the coast to come through.
Throughout the recording, occasional handheld fireworks flare in the distance, cutting through the ambience with sharp, tube-like bursts that briefly interrupt the constant motion of the sea. These moments add contrast and unpredictability to the otherwise steady soundscape.
Subtle traces of nearby human activity drift into the background, including the voices of a young couple, adding a quiet sense of presence without overpowering the natural environment. Together, these elements form an authentic coastal night atmosphere that balances ocean energy with the calm stillness of night.
