1 hour at 221B Baker Street — rain on the glass, a fire in the grate, a violin in the next room.
An hour of Victorian ambience for reading, set in Sherlock Holmes's rooms at 221B Baker Street on a wet London night. A solo violin drifts from the next room — Holmes played to think, usually late and usually to himself — over rain against the window, a low fire in the grate, and the muffled sound of the street below. No talking, no vocals, nothing that asks for your attention.
It's built to run a full session: put it on, open a book, and let the hour go by.
Prefer a Pomodoro (25-5-25-5) version instead? The full Pomodoro version is linked below.

And if you'd like to actually read Holmes while it plays, you can, free and legally. Every Sherlock Holmes story is now in the US public domain — the last of them, the 1927 Case-Book stories, came free on January 1st, 2023.
Comment which Holmes story you're reading tonight.
