About Rainfall
A BEDTIME RAIN CHANNEL FOR CONNECTED TV
Rainfall started as the answer to a simple question: where does the actual long-form rain channel live? Cable TV used to have ambient channels that ran for hours and felt like a gift. Now it's a YouTube tab on a phone. We wanted it on the TV again, in clean HD, with music that wasn't a synthesizer pretending to be a piano.
Rainfall is built for the long evenings most channels avoid — the dark afternoons and longer nights — but it's watchable any time you'd open a window for the sound of rain. Slow rain. All night is not a tagline. It's a request.
What we make
Fifteen scenes at launch, growing to thirty by the autumn equinox. Each scene is one image — rain on a window, a forest in the rain, a tin roof at midnight — held for as long as you want it. Each scene has its own ambient track, composed specifically for the mood of that visual. There is no narration. There are no bright cuts. The loop is seamless.
The edit
Out of more than a thousand candidate scenes, fifteen made it through. The ones that didn't flickered too brightly, cut too quickly, or pretended to a warmth they didn't have. The ones that remain were chosen the way you'd choose a chair you could sit in for an hour — slowly, by hand, by feel.
Music is commissioned the same way: one piece per scene, written to the temperature of its image, listened to end-to-end before it's paired with the picture. We are intentionally small. The work is curatorial.
AI content disclosure
Rainfall uses AI as a production tool. Humans decide what ships. We disclose this here, in our Roku channel manifest, in the Roku Channel Store submission form, and on every page the platform asks for it. We are not hiding it.
Music. Each scene's ambient bed is AI-generated under a commercial license that includes broadcast and streaming rights. Every track is generated from a written brief, listened to in full by a human, mastered, and approved before it pairs with a scene.
Video. All fifteen scenes are real footage, licensed from professional cinematographers under commercial-use terms, with attribution to the original creators preserved in our records. None of the visuals are AI-generated. The footage is delivered in HD.
Narration. None. There is no AI voice on the channel. There is no human voice on the channel either. That's by design.
Why we're transparent. Roku, the FTC, and several state advertising regulators are tightening rules around synthetic content in 2026. We support those rules. A channel that asks you to fall asleep can't be opaque about how it gets made.

Where we operate from
Rainfall is operated by WYSAMM LLC, an independent media company registered in the Republic of Armenia (TIN 08222398), with its registered office in Yerevan. WYSAMM also operates Stillwater, a sister sleep channel, and Adbustr, a transparent supply-side platform for connected-TV inventory which provides part of Rainfall's ad fill.
Why “Rainfall”
Rain is the sound a room makes when it asks for nothing and gives calm back. That's the channel.
The team
A small editorial group based between Yerevan and Bali, with engineering, design, and music supervision contributed by independent practitioners. We're intentionally small — the work is curatorial rather than productive.
