Irv Teibel’s <a href="spotify:artist:72DfMqmMQyr6LraqB7nEKv" data-name="Environments">Environments</a> series introduced the world to the therapeutic uses of natural sound. Begun a year before <a href="spotify:album:5h96FXOFTdfJxanqdzoczd" data-name="Songs of the Humpback Whale">Songs of the Humpback Whale</a> became a symbol of the environmental movement and almost a decade ahead of Brian Eno’s sonic manifesto <a href="spotify:album:063f8Ej8rLVTz9KkjQKEMa" data-name="Ambient 1/Music For Airports">Ambient 1/Music For Airports</a>, this series of twenty-two soundscapes permeated popular culture—from classic ocean and animal soundscapes to porto-new age (“<a href="spotify:track:4eKeF1elNrE2Z3AY9ymDUl" data-name="Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)">Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)</a>”) and political sound art (“<a href="spotify:track:5ID75t9PlAVbkGejIuXVY3" data-name="Be-In (A Psychoacoustic Experience)">Be-In (A Psychoacoustic Experience)</a>”). Teibel even developed a record specifically for making love (“<a href="spotify:track:40tzbR4NAy31YYtkwpLe2g" data-name="Ultimate Heartbeat">Ultimate Heartbeat</a>”).
Teibel's focus on curated natural sounds and his meticulous attention to state of the art audiophile recording techniques was in stark contrast to the low fidelity field recordings and sound effects/mood music records of the 1950s and 60s. His recordings sparked a global craze for new age and ambient nature-based recordings, which boomed in the 1970s and 80s and continues today in bedroom noise machines, yoga studios, and mindfulness apps.
