As a composer of symphonic music, I feel humbled that tonight I sat here and listened to the rain and discovered that it holds all the power, drama and interest of a symphony, in surround sound, for free. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day I could create something as simple and as awesome?

I know the feeling. I have a deep meaningful relationship with the ocean, well just water in all of it's multicoloured facets actually.
I loooove when it gets incorporated into music as well. Krautrock seems to be the ultimate distributor of said constellation. I have a lot of German releases from the 70s, where water sounds as if it was an instrument on its own. Sloshing, running, dripping, pelting or waving elegantly - it somehow always has this majestic elegance to it when applied to psychedelic music.

speaking of that, I jammed on the beach one while tripping on LSD and the waves were in rhythm with my music.
but yeah, i find music in all natural ambient noises. big cities can also be very interesting |

I agree, although it's been a while since I went all out Hunter with music and friends in the forest.
I really dig the noises that come from old boats too. Again with the water..... |

I love the sound of rain and waves, and love it when they're incorporated in music. Even something as subtle as the rain in the middle of Marillion's Power adds a great feeling and texture to the song.

Sometimes I wish that there was music made entirely from natural sounds... They should really be used more often.

I often listen to a rain and thunder recording to go to sleep.

Krautrock is the place to go for something akin to that. Sure there's instruments involved, but like I said previously in this thread, there's been quite a few artists outta Germany who've experimented with sounds from the natural world, not only water. Psychedelic music in general I would say. The Japanese scene from around the same time did something similar.
