Typing a Letter with an Olivetti Typewriter for ASMR & Relaxation
30,680New 2022 typing video here: https://youtu.be/77gJzBMKpSo
Another video of my Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 typewriter as I try to create something to either induce ASMR, to be relaxing and possibly both!. There are paper sounds, finger tapping sounds, brushing sounds using typewriter cleaning brushes, and of course typing sounds. As far as what I'm typing it's quite random, so don't expect it to make much sense if you can read it.
Don't forget to check out my other 60 minute typewriter brushing video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meQqjYvlYa4

What is ASMR?
To me, 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, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles" in the viewer, but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. They often help those dealing with anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, mental health issues, concentrating, studying and more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, which is not that much different than the mediums of music and painting, for example.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
