Ambience/ASMR: Ottoman Courtyard Garden & Fountain, 18th Century Syria, 5 Hours

[@dracars4013]

I'm Turkish and even though this is an ASMR for portraying 18th century Ottoman province Syria; it also resembles nowadays Turkey's little towns, I might say you've done very excellent job.Sound effects are right on point, voice of the guy who sells things from background, adhan, and all the other sound effects are resembling my neighborhood and the other lovely towns that have walked in before. And some parts of this sounds also gives a glimpse about Istanbul's daily life.Thanks for reminding me my childhood and ours & grandma's home

islamic architects really knew what they were doing with the traditional arab house design, the sound of the running water bringing a touch of nature to an urban environment, the open air courtyard basically working as an natural airconditioner in combination with the water fountain to cool the rooms around the courtyard, and hearing the birds chirping after a long day of house chores .... this is basically just another day for the typical syrian family in the 17th century but as a modern day child these sounds create an ever lasting memory simply because of how different that environment is from the modern city.

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Thank you for your excellent and evocative observations -- this traditional design style does indeed have a host of advantages! It is such a joy for me to think that my videos can help those of us in this era "visit" the past; connecting with the ordinary, everyday past (as you said, "just another day for the typical Syrian family") is especially meaningful to me.

And then I found this video… Every time, the call to prayer plunges me back into a deep state of contemplation and fascinating memories. Thank you so much for your gorgeous videos.

I spent 3 weeks in Lebanon in 2016, my first time in the Middle East, and what really made the trip feel real was hearing the Adhan for the first time. We visited Baalbek one day and while at the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, the call to prayer went out from multiple mosques sounding almost like dueling meuzzins! Hearing the Adhan now takes me back to Lebanon.

I'm not a Muslim, but I was born and grew up in a Muslim country. When I first heard the Adhan in this, I was taken straight to heaven. I grew up with that distant call, brought by the wind, and I was hopeless at finding this kind of ambience on KZbin. When I need to unwind and control my anxieties, I come here sometimes, and it helps. So, yes, thank you.

[@milesofsea]

This is such a surprise to find on KZbin! It's very accurate, from the sounds to the image and the typical stone used for buildings, which is this golden colour. It makes me miss these places, of which there were many even to this day. Unfortunately much of the old city in Aleppo and many restaurants and hotels that were located in these old traditional Syrian houses with courtyards are in ruins now. Still, there's a saying in Arabic that human life is more precious than stone and I have hope things will return to how they were one day.

So beautiful and peaceful. A perfect time to have a meeting with ourselves, meditate and relax. 🙏😌

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

I love the idea of "hav[ing] a meeting with ourselves." That is sometimes just what we need, isn't it? I am grateful to be able to provide a space for that self-encounter; I am grateful that it is, for you, a place that is beautiful and peaceful. I welcome you here with all my heart.

[@eternalmourning9613]

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 Thank you so much for your kindness dear friend!

[@itsyomama759]

I put this on to help me work. With the A/C going on in my office and these sounds, I'm relaxed and ready for a nap haha!

[@alicestate2967]

You are a gifted writer. Your description is incredible.

[@lethersing5909]

Hello! I am listening to the audio while working at the computer and I always look for lovely ambience sounds. I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!! You truly have a secret art in crafting these sound landscapes, thank you thank you thank you!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!! Kisses from Italy

[@MariaCruz-vb2xl]

What a beautiful place, I imagine being there sitting outside the door, closing my eyes and relaxing, feeling and listening how the water falls from the fountain, the song of the birds, it is as if you were transported to another place, I love it

[@ladyofthemasque]

This is a really pleasant low-key background ambience. Loving it!

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Thank you!

[@marisoljensen7083]

Thank you so much for your beautiful work ♥

[@marieilles720]

I'm a big fan of your work, and once again here it is amazing. I love the subtlety of the sounds, how the courtyard looks peaceful, the soothing warm colors ... I'm into ambiance videos for a while now and I have never seen this theme before. It helps me a lot during my studying for university exams. At the moment I'm studying medieval litterature, it is a perfect fit to dive into it :) Thank you for your work !

[@paulhaube]

Ah! A nice audio discovery. Thank you!

[@SpookyASMR]

i wouldn't even think it's animated 😱 looks and sounds so realistic, bravo!!

[@jessikatkins1173]

You're right, it doesn't look animated at all! I've seen other videos by Ambience of Yesteryear and they're so realistic I wasn't sure how they were made! This is so lovely! 💕

[@Zezeze.]

I am so grateful for your descriptions of the sounds. I am sure it might be a bit of a hassle, and yet you do it. It helps getting even more immersed into the scene bc the desciption of the sounds are done so beautifully and tell a story by themselves. Thank you.

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

It touches my heart that you say this; thank you so much. Writing the descriptions, for me, is neither "work" nor "hassle" but is instead a gesture of heartfelt sharing -- this is true for the making of the videos themselves, as well. These little stories are born of imagination and love; thank you for entering into them with me. :)

[@beyzabayrak7]

You are doing good job. i always listen your background music while studying. and also looking at these view is giving good feelings. thanks a lot.

[@Marizeye]

My absolute favourite ambience of all time!!! Thanks so much for this

[@alexandroskefalas4802]

Amazing idea. Amazing execution. God bless you!!

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Thank you so much, Alexandros. God bless you, too!

[@meihwadeclerk3147]

This is absolutely marvelous! It is so relaxing and it uplifted my spirit. I can just imagine myself being in the picture, everything draws you in and makes you want to stay. Thank you for this masterpiece and for transporting us to a world we might never have known and sounds we might never have experienced.

[@mollygarden9535]

This is one of the best ones yet. And your descriptions are beautifully evocative. I love the picture. Thank you and bless you.

[@JillKingslea]

I know I'm biased, but I totally agree! ❤

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Oh, Molly, bless **you** for your thoughtfulness and kindness. I'm so glad that you enjoy this one. Please come and visit the courtyard as often as your heart desires. :)

[@wonderfulrainyday]

This adhan is one of the most beautiful I have heard so far ✨

[@shabanamogra537]

Where do you hear it? 💜

[@christianeblais8822]

It's a famous adhan performed by a guy in a US church, years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4mWhmB4fKmYmsU

Greetings from Syria 🇸🇾 🙂

[@kallistoindrani5689]

What a wonderful thing! It makes me feel as if I'm really there, enjoying the sun, watching the people around me. So lovely!

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Conjuring the feeling that you are "really there" is just what I hoped to achieve! Thank you so much. :)

[@hierosgamosvibration2951]

Omg I love it! It's like time traveling to a time I used to know...a memory from a dream. Your channel is the only place for me where I feel like I am there. My favorite is the Ethiopian temple ambiance. Sigh...😍😍😍Thank you so much for these!

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

I apologize that I am only now responding to your beautiful, thoughtful comment. Thank you so much. And I know this "memory from a dream" feeling you mention; I am honored that my videos bring this particular sense of familiarity to you. Thank you again.

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Sound. It absolutely transports you to another place and time. Very enjoyable and relaxing, and helped me with my writing. Thank you SO much for this video experience.

[@surprisedpikachuface9864]

Your works just get finer and finer, one day this channel will definitely blow up

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

I appreciate your very kind words, but to be honest, I have already been given far more attention than I ever imagined I would receive, and far more than is comfortable for me! It would actually suit me perfectly well if my channel never "blows up". :) I created the channel by the request of friends, and it exists only in the hope that I can offer something of service to others, so even though I do not seek out attention, I will nonetheless welcome everyone who finds something of value here.

[@NOlsen8]

This is beautiful - Thank you so much!

[@hyacinthlover9370]

How do you know this is exactly what I needed in life ?

[@yny13xx]

Great. I've just had peaceful 6-hour afternoon sleep listening to the music. Thank you.

[@laurafontfigueras4232]

So well recreated!! I love it so muc, and I loved when a woman started singing. Impressive images, sounds, historical recreation: WOW!

[@lucillemstrllt428]

You make it so easy to travel in time & space ! Thank you so much for those inspiring ambiences ! Best discovery on KZbin yet.

[@Bareness]

This is so great. Thank you so much. I would like to know of other exotic, ancient ambience videos you make. I liked the sound of the fly buzzing by too! It really takes you to an enlightening place, especially during Covid quarantine!

[@punkinholler]

The soundscape on this is really top-notch. I love the variety and nuance in all the different sounds.

[@AKNeal81]

Your host's garden is a sudden sanctuary from the den of thieves, aka the city outside, now seemingly 100 miles away since you stepped into this man-made, oasis from the city, all around you. The fountain a white noise machine while the host's family's voices provide the music; all forming a beautiful background to the peace and tranquility of this garden.

[@tomatoangel1]

So sweet. If I had this in real life, I wouldn't WANT to go outside beyond these walls.

[@ambienceofyesteryear6871]

Yes, it's a feeling of comforting, nurturing enclosure rather than anything claustrophobic, I think. Although it's not real life, you're welcome to "stay" here as long as you'd like. :)
