The Stranger [ Outdoor evening binaural ASMR ]


Ephemeral Rift
Published 7 years ago

The Stranger is a leather-glove-scrunching, beard-scratching, hat-tapping, slow-hand-moving, ear-to-ear brushing, soft-spoken gent who arrives from out of town to help you relax, ease your mind, help you sleep, and hopefully trigger your ASMR.

Apparently this video is my subconscious' way of nodding at the Sergio Leone "Dollars Trilogy" of films (with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly being my favorite of course) starring Clint Eastwood, as well as my desire to create ASMR Westerns in the near future. I didn't realize this until the next day after filming, when deciding whether to call this video "The Man with No Name" or "The Stranger", as both names apply to the main protagonist in the films.

This costume was purchased specifically to update Corvus' outfit, with potential for other western, gothic, vampire and steampunk themes in mind, as I want to create more of those types of videos but my wardrobe was (and is still somewhat) limited in that regard. But I thought before I filmed the new Corvus video, I would break this in and have a little fun with it, so here we are. I also wanted to take advantage of yet another cool Spring night as Summer quickly approaches, so we're outside once again where you can hear the wind in the trees and other ambient sounds of the evening, such as the warm traffic sounds of a distant highway.

Tingle on now, ya hear,
E.R.

What is ASMR?

In my subjective view, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example).

The sensation itself (ASMR) stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention.

ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and much more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, not much different than the mediums of music and painting.

Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy affect.
