Have you ever heard of the Shoe Gnome? The little man who comes into your home at night and repairs your worn shoes? No? I remember seeing a cartoon about shoe gnomes when I was little, but I haven't seen them anywhere else since, so they might not be a thing. Nonetheless, here is how I imagined his house to look and sound like. Kind of like a magical little cottage inside of a mushroom or a tree. (But how would shoes fit into a mushroom? Well, I guess that's the shoe gnome's problem to solve.) Enjoy:) Hi! I'm Melinda, and I make relaxing ambient soundscapes of unique places. The video cinemagraphs are made with the help of Adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro, and the sounds with Soundbooth and Audacity. Hopefully, you'll enjoy listening and looking at these ambience videos made to relax you, transport you to faraway places and maybe even trigger your asmr.
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
