TAKITSUBO — 滝壺 | Traditional Japanese Water Music for Deep Focus, Study & Sleep

Welcome to Murasaki Sounds. Murasaki is the colour you get between indigo and vermilion — and the hour you get between day and night. Everything on this channel lives in that in-between. TAKITSUBO (滝壺) is the pool at the foot of a waterfall. The water above it never stops falling, so the sound never stops either — and underneath all that noise, the pool itself is deep and completely still. 滝壺や 音の絶えざる 昼と夜 The basin of the falls — the sound never stops, day or night ────────── Green water, wet black rock, moss, and spray hanging in the air where the sunlight reaches it. Cold rising off the pool even on a warm day. It is the kind of place you stand at Nachi Falls in Wakayama, close enough that the sound fills everything and you stop trying to talk. Shakuhachi, koto and shamisen. Very few notes, and long silences between them — because in Japanese music the space between two sounds is called MA, and it is not an absence. It is the other half of the music. Use this sound for: Deep Focus, Studying, Working, Reading, Meditation, Sleep. 🎵 Tracklist & Chapters 00:00 — The Basin 04:22 — Spray Above the Rocks 08:51 — Green Water 13:17 — Constant Falling 17:39 — Moss on Wet Stone 22:07 — Standing at the Edge 26:29 — Sound With No Pause 30:57 — Deep and Still Below 35:25 — Sunlight in the Spray 39:53 — Cold Rising Off the Pool 44:21 — The Rope and the Sign 48:49 — Leaving the Falls 53:17 — Behind the Falling Water 57:45 — Fern and Wet Rock 1:02:13 — The Pool Turns Dark 1:06:41 — Water All Night 1:11:08 — The Falls Do Not Stop 1:15:35 — Downstream From Here (The set repeats from here — twice in all.) ────────── No ads in the middle.
