Ambience/ASMR: Princess Bedroom on Rainy Morning in Rococo Castle (18th Century), 4 Hours

For Alyssa.

List of Sounds:
soothing delta brain-wave pulses (inaudible & deep in the background, with many other sounds layered above)
delicate rain strewn like autumn leaves over the castle -- an exuberant, dancing dew that bursts into tiny sunlit jewels as it reaches earth, such that the towers, pavilions, arcades, balustrades, and courtyards glisten in the dawning sun, now hidden, now revealed through a veil of clouds
the quiet crackle of a fireplace, lit to warm the chill of early morning and burn away the clinging damp
wild songbirds (linnets, mockingbirds, robins, blackbirds, and other courtly troubadours) serenading the princess with particular sweetness, as if they know that their melodies are the first thing she hears as she awakens
peacocks given aristocratic freedom to wander the castle grounds, calling to each other (or perhaps, indeed, to the Royal Family themselves) with a haughty unrestraint
the drowsy, half-roused purring of the beloved royal pet, a cat who is the truest companion to the princess, and who has, just weeks ago, offered the princess the friendship of a litter of kittens, all of whom are curled next to their mama in sleep except for one: his startlingly alert gaze greets the princess as she flutters open her eyes, and his tiny meows bid her "good morning"
a flock of sheep bedecked in bells and a similarly musical herd of cows, both of which are guided over distant pastures and harvested fields to graze & forage before the long overwintering begins
horses, carts, & carriages passing at a sprightly morning pace
embroidered bed-linens smoothed back into place by a vigilant lady-in-waiting after the princess rises, creating an impeccably unwrinkled plushness that is soon dimpled by eager paws
mama cat enjoying her breakfast (the choicest morsels left from last night's feast, offered by a royal companion on royal china) while her kittens suckle and partake in an equally generous breakfast of their own
the ladies-in-waiting beginning their morning attendance upon Her Royal Highness: presenting the fine porcelain basin of perfectly warmed water with which they wash her (since a princess must not even bathe herself); brushing & coiffing her hair into magnificent sculptures of charm; caressing, patting, and massaging her skin with elegantly scented tonics & creams; arranging & opening a tidy display of little flowered makeup jars with little flowered lids; commencing the refined & masterful art of cosmetics to create a lead-white canvas on which the bloom of lips & cheeks is painted; bringing forth a tray of small crystal bottles, each with its own exquisite perfume, which are opened & held out to the princess, one by one, until at last the violet essence strikes her fancy
the swish & sway of silk from a coterie of extravagant dresses, brought out for the princess to peruse in hopes that one will be to her liking; the soft bustle of helping Her Highness into her petticoats, stays, skirts, and bodice
the creaking-open of wooden boxes holding fashionable accoutrements, gathered to complement the chosen gown; the muted clicking & clattering of pearls, enameled beads, and jewels set in gold
the deferentially quiet but resolute footsteps unique to servants, heard passing through nearby corridors
the subtle scribble & scratch of a quill pen, as the most meticulous lady-in-waiting writes a letter for her mistress in a flawless, tastefully elaborate hand
the hushed but merry giggling & murmuring of the ladies-in-waiting, who make sure to keep their voices pleasingly low during the morning hours
the lively chatter & laughter of young princes and princesses, heard just beyond their sister's chamber
a small mantle-clock chiming cheerfully every half-hour

Question: What is an ambience video?

Answer: Pleasant, soothing background images & sound for relaxation, study, play, or work; gently occupies an anxious or unfocused mind without causing unwanted distraction; creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere; personalizes sparse, colorless, or impersonal environments; enlivens spaces where we live or work alone; fills silence with more subtlety, ease, and warmth than music or TV; offers softly dynamic "rainbow noise" instead of monotonous white noise; enhances interior design & personal style by turning screens/screensavers into live photographic displays.
