Hello everyone, and welcome to issue #30 of Finds — the articles, sites, and corners of the web I bookmarked this week:

📚 Books

🌐 Websites / blogs

mynoise.netmyNoiseStéphane Pigeon, a sound engineer with a PhD, runs this library of soundscape generators alone, ad-free and on donations. Each one has sliders for mixing its layers: the Medieval Library gives you a fireplace, copyist monks and distant Gregorian chant.

📚 From Wikipedia
