Ambient Swim
What's the Story?
AMBIENT SWIM is a streaming series designed to help people relax. Each half-hour installment features hand drawn digital animation that is paired with selections of music to help you clear you mind, study, or just calm down. From low fidelity, downtempo beats paired with 8-bit animation, to a quiet montage sequence of old video images accompanied by music and a narration by comedian Joe Pera, each episode is designed to help folks relax in its own unique way.
Is It Any Good?
From video game-style animations to simple videos of clay pots and coffee pots, Ambient Swim is designed to create a viewing and listening experience that will allow people to relax their minds. Each video offers its own beats and creative approach, but all of them are produced in a way that looks and sounds mellow in its own way. Some may like to tune in for background sound and imagery to accompany them as they do other things. Others may find it to be a useful treatment for insomnia.
