For some, the sound of plastic Lego bricks whispering when someone combs their hair through a trash can looking for the piece they need is like the keys to a blackboard. For others, it is as satisfying as a Mozart symphony. If you are part of the latter group, Lego has created a file white noise playlist made of plastic bricks you can play in the background when you are too busy to build it.
Brick sounds do not accompany an orchestra or any instrumentation whatsoever. The seven 30-minute tracks include Lego being used and played in different ways. For example, in the track “It All Clicks” appear Lego elements connected to each other, while “The Waterfall” includes thousands of bricks simply poured on thousands of bricks more. Lego promises that the playlist will be available for free on 15 different streaming platforms, including Apple Music (although we are currently struggling to find it), Google Music, i Spotify, which you can access below, or transmit directly through the browser.
The album is part of a recent Lego push to encourage AFOLS (Adult Fans of Lego) to adopt their passion for a construction toy that is traditionally seen as something for children. In addition to the new lines they focus on architecture, model making, and even new sets that allow you build flowers from plastic bricks, the toy manufacturer has also redesigned some examples of its packaging to look bigger with minimal graphics and moderate color themes. And let’s not pretend someone is buying their five-year-old an $ 800 Millennium Falcon and waiting patiently to assemble the 7,541 pieces.
