Almost two years ago I moved from Toledo, Ohio to rural western Kentucky, where I wrote, composed, and recorded a series of sixteen ambient instrumentals about living in the country called Rural Eminence Volume One. Most of the songs are nocturnes (I battle with insomnia) but there are a few daytime sounds in the collection as well.

Like a lot of things in the country, these songs can be used like tools. You can put them on while you’re studying or doing something productive. You can put them on to help unwind from a long stressful day. Play them as you prepare for sleep. You can also listen for the sake of hearing. There’s a lot going on in these recordings. I recommend a good pair of headphones.

There’s a bit of the rolling hills of Kentucky in each of the sixteen songs of Rural Eminence Volume One. Give ’em a listen. Share ’em around, if you feel so inclined. Let me know what you think. Stay safe, healthy, & sane out there, y’all.

All the best,

A.S. Coomer
