Rain on Barracus | Quiet Cy-Fi: Ambience

'Gemini Rue' is an old-school sci-fi adventure game by Joshua Nuernberger and the indie developer Wadjet Eye, and is one of those rare entertainment experiences that completely stole my heart, for many reasons. One of them: I remember how I used to spend hours just lurking around the game and really doing nothing with the character, completely captivated by the atmospheres, especially that of the city under rain, which sounded so soothing and relaxing to me.
Because of that, I decided to mix an ambience in order to re-create that particular atmosphere, as faithfully as I could, but making it a tiny bit more elaborated for your enjoyment, and mine.
Let me take you to the District 7, on planet Barracus, where everything happens under vigorous pouring rain and the supersonic rumble of spaceships, leaving and entering the atmosphere, to and from the Spaceport that orbits far above the planet.
It's a mix packed with calm and mysteriousness, a natural power with a flavour of sci-fi and noir. It's really distinctive and it also makes a unique and unusual addition to the Quiet Cy-Fi series.
I really really hope you guys enjoy it (and, for those who actually played the game, I hope that I've succeded in summoning the atmosphere of the game into your mind).
Use it for relaxation, meditation, study, work, introspection, whatever you need it for. Just close your eyes and immerse yourself into it.
Enjoy the rain and chill out while I prepare the next Quiet Cy-Fi video for you.
Credits where credit's due:
► Sounds used for rain: freesound.org/people/knufds/so... freesound.org/people/conleec/s... freesound.org/people/alienistc... freesound.org/people/tliedes/s... freesound.org/people/hutsvoid/... freesound.org/people/Michieldb... freesound.org/people/gadzooks/... (yes! They are plenty! But that's complexity for you)
► Spaceships and shuttles are mostly artifacts of Audacity, but two of them are actually real airplanes: freesound.org/people/Bidone/so... & freesound.org/people/blaukreuz...
► The voice of the announcer is nothing more than post-processed TTS output (the funny part is that it sounds ridiculously similar to the one that's in the game, and it wasn't necessary my intention)
As usual, you can download the full VBR mp3 [99.2 Mb!] mega.nz/#!MFlnEboS!5j9f8awH5e... (download usually works better with Google Chrome)
It should be loopable.

Final note:
Before you ask: no, what you hear is not the audio recorded from the game. You are seeing a short loop of game footage because I just love how they animated the rain, and it simply gets me hypnotized; what you hear is the ambience I mixed.

Its always bad weather in cyberpunk cities

[@neonfox3]

good weather*

[@stevenXCV]

Probably because cyberpunk cities produce tons of gas emission everyday, making the weather bad.

[@mjag2834]

Factories producing insane amounts of steam like in the south eastern US, causing unnatural heavy rain and flooding.

[@FodderMoosie]

METAPHORRRRRR

[@elvalight2135]

weather machine broke ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@motherofdragonzz1233]

Ugh I love these cyberpunk ambient videos! I wish there were more with the announcements in the background like this one, oddly calming

[@raksh9]

Yes, the amplified but distorted announcements really help with the atmosphere of these things.

[@swapertxking]

Never thought I’d come back here, but here I am. Seeking the quiet succor of hard rain

[@CaptainSlowbeard]

Can't tell you how much these ambient soundscapes are helping my anxiety and ability to concentrate - I might just be able to study productively again after many years of struggling. Thanks so much for making them :)

[@OpnDoarPlcy]

Same here. I love this video in particular because it helps me to sleep.

[@VitalMusic217]

That poor guy needs an umbrella

[@DiscoverSound.]

This is even better when you consider the kind of person the protagonist of Gemini Rue is.

[@mjag2834]

A neon lit see through umbrella. Maybe an Eroticlone on his arm, a taxi and a trip to his favourite haunt PIZAZZ (Nightclub/Arcade/Restaurant/Motel Stay).

[@mosespray4510]

It's funny how these cyberpunk environments are both dystopic and romantic at the same time. We are strange creatures. You did a great job here, and eight minutes in I hit subscribe. Now I look forward to checking out the other videos in this series.

[@90RavenBlack]

This video was actually my introduction to the game...and a cracking game it is too.

[@KhuyPZda]

Mate, thank you so much for making this. I work in open space that sometimes gets loud an distracting, and I need concentration. I bought headphones with active noise cancellation and I just put this video (and others from your channel) on loop and enjoy working undisturbed.

[@VeganCheeseburger]

You make some of the most under-rated videos on KZbin. So good. Keep up the great work.

[@gabrielv.a3429]

*De todos os ambientes que eu vi, esse vídeo é o meu preferido.*

[@ashleyodonnell7807]

This is perfect for writing! I have an entire manuscript to edit by tomorrow, and I'm pulling an all-nighter while listening to this. Thanks so much for uploading! Wish me luck :)

[@Y2Kr4SHM4N]

Ashley M. Jackson Nearly a year later; did you do good with that manuscript?

[@asleyicegold4789]

Nope..... No answer

[@raksh9]

Two years on: how did the manuscript go? How are things now?

[@stev4000bc]

Six years on. Surely it must be done by now?

[@CaptainSlowbeard]

Hope you're staying safe out there on Barracus buddy. I'll keep checking in to check if there's been another another transmission, I'm not the only one.

[@ZRO_COOL]

nothing else quite like this on youtube similar but not exactly which is why i always find myself back here again thank u for posting

[@tqpro]

I wish the devs would make a sequel to this. Oozes cyberpunk ambience.

[@WhispersInBloom]

I know what I'll be listening to tomorrow while I write :) Thanks so much for creating this!! Just what I needed :)

[@HardwiredGhost]

[@hawaiirelaxation2851]

HardwiredGhost Great sharing !!! I subscribe... Your channel is amazing !

[@hawaiirelaxation2851]

Excellent work ! Thanks for sharing with us. Thumbs UP!!!

[@schlummerkatze795]

This was amazing to listen to! I'm definitely coming back to listen to this again.

[@raspberry5286]

great video man, no word just wow.. thank you

[@wewb2333]

Ugh.. Love this.

[@polychronistheo]

Never heard of the game, but definitely like your video (just like any other one on your channel. Keep 'em coming ! Xx

[@ForGlory]

I see I'm not the only one who appreciates the ambiance in games. Nothing like CAPTURING the moment, literally in my case.

[@Unhacker]

Excellent work.

[@acroninja21]

Great! Just really really great!

[@catx6262]

"Rain on Barracus | Quiet Cy-Fi: Ambience" + "Server Room 188 | Quiet Cy-Fi: Ambience" = awesomeness o.o (Note that the rain volume needs to be lowered slightly for it to mix perfectly)

[@ruzlan369]

this video is an art. So so good!

[@gammaechofoundationproductions]

This is very soothing! I will play this the next day I have trouble sleeping! :)

[@zerodegreescelsius]

Always find myself coming back here for the mood 😐👍🏻

[@MultiCheckers1]

awesome!

[@geomagneticstormasmr3202]

great mood :)

[@alessandroma17]

I love the background

[@gabrielanahel3393]

Very cool!

[@Shadic358]

thanks I like it !

[@antwan1357]

Gemini Rue I should google that thank you very much.

[@enricoisaia391]

Wow i am the 1000th person who puts a like :D , btw i love all your mixes, they are the best when you need to study something

[@KittyBoom360]

Just FYI, the game you describe, judging from this, was trying to mimic the streets of Blade Runner. I often play the movie at night because it has ASMR qualities.

[@jefferyetten]

very helpful

[@retrofuturepi]

I love this game (gemini rue)

[@KylenBeatty]

Hey hardwired ghost, I account for 2,000 plays of this on play on repeat. It runs almost 24/7 on my computer in my room.

[@timelessthee]

Gemini Rue is a beautiful game.

[@nuclearducks7387]

this is the name of the planet -

[@mjag2834]

Looks like "Flashback" or "Another World".

[@00marwin00]

is-so-cold..

[@momomoriati9062]

🖤💜

[@andrewrivera190]

For the full effect combine with this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF6thmxuj7l9q6M

[@swapertxking]

The rain is coming down to hard for my taste, but the occasional booms and speakers definitely fills the void.

[@frankhazard7365]

anyone know what is the song playing in the elevator at hibiscus hotel?

[@nnndogs]

Somebody should tell that guy he's been stood up.
