When I was in the army, we were stationed on an outpost by the Barents sea in the northern most part of Norway, and this music invoke the feelings I had in that desolate place. No people, no houses, hardly any plants or animals. The mountains just suddenly terminate by the water, and from there its all just a vast expanse of ocean, snow and ice merging into infinite white nothingness.
you ever hear of Biosphere?.. or that Geir Jensen guy?.. his sh1t is like some OG ambient music that is basically like this, and captures EXACTLY what you are talking about.
That photo is a mindf*ck with this music. Listen long enough and you begin to understand the vastness; witness your own desolation. The last thing you'll remember is the sound of your labored breathing becoming more faint and the wind growing more intense in your ears. Then silence. Your frozen stare remains fixated on the white horizon while the snow claims your body.
Everybody listening to this is either at peace or having a mental breakdown. Either way, this track is perfection and I’ve used it many times. Music is a wonderful method of transportation.
@@vladimirandreevich exactly its the energy encompassed inside the mind and soul at the time a person is listening its the energy one has at the moment of hearing
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HhgK_1oGSVw.html for anyone interested in the Ernest Shackleton 1914 expedition story, it's crazy Edit: grammar
Sometimes during thunderstorms I would turn off all the lights in my house, light a candle, and sit in my living room while listen to this type of music. It feels very calming and soothing...
I'd rather be isolated and alone far away from civilization than to be around people and be lonely. It's weird I know but the I believe being in the middle of nowhere alone is comforting. These dark ambient pieces you've made bring me comfort in these times. Thank you.
Ur not alone in this thinking. I am literally addicted to abandoned and barren places. I feel a strange kinship and almost peace in these places, as if that’s where my true soul resides, out there in the empty expanses. So beautiful, serene and melancholic.
@@hansfrankfurter2903 I had a dream recently about a empty place and a black haired girl I know, and she gave me the cold shoulder after talking to her , haha ironically enough she's either shy or hates me lol! cuz it's not too far off from past real life experiences with her haha.
I almost want to say I can relate too, but I don't think that part of me can handle the sheer emptiness and isolation that are places like these. I'm a loner as well, but the mere presence of living people gives me a weird sort of comfort- a sense of safety. Being alone every once in a while is nice! But if I had to live in a desolate world with no life, I think I would go insane
You'd think that this would solve everyone's existential crisis.. An existential crisis exists outside of one's "self", it's a "purpose" or place inside orthodox man-made constructs that simply don't exist- Yep, I'm a blast at parties..

I like to listen in my car while driving long routes.. it's takes you to different reality away from crazy world and rude people....just me and universe....diving into the ocean of fantasy and atmospheric vibe
if places were sounds, this one would represent 99% of the universe. And all of our other music, every genre and melody, representing the miniscule 1% we live in.
I'm a student of philosophy, I hear this particularly when studying social critics, politics and such themes. The music seems to give the texts a deeper and darker visage, as if sifting through them means you're unveiling dark truths.
I was in Siberia mountains recently. I'm severely depressed and have lot of heaviness in my soul... After climbing on high mountains with my father I felt... Like wind there and other beauties of Siberia clear my soul... It's literally impossible to describe... View from above into other cold and high mountain and cliffs, this icy breeze (there was around -30 or -35 degrees Celsius)... And I suddenly cried right there. I won't forget this moment never. How I felt alive... Again...
This music expresses something profound that I can't explain, it's almost scary, it's like the ultimate reality of things the hidden tragedy inside everything, it's so real. thank you for making it.
I know what you mean. I think it's really rare to feel that kind of thing outside of music or art. At least for me. As a kid I felt it when I saw mountains in the distance and it was storming out, but. . . music takes me there, more often.
@@IronCthulhuApocalypse I hate to be redundant but thank you so much man for creating it, I recently moved out to a new city for a job were I have to be more socially fake than usual, (you know playing society's capitalist game to feed myself, against all my intervorted and lazy and genuinely suicidal desires),and I find myself always returning to this song it resonates with me deeply. it connects me to the deepest and the most real part of me, the scared confused lonely part of me that knows deep down that life is truly not worth living and I'm just fooling myself, the part of me that laughs with friends or eating a meal or watching a movie or seemingly enjoying life or whatever is not the real part of me, this is, I never understood how something so external like this song can give birth to and reaches something so internal. seriously man thank so much for creating it, I think will always listen to it, and keep returning to it for the rest of my life, thank you❤️❤️.
@@user-no7nw8lg8l its when u stop being of this world but merely a passing observer. You’re not even sad anymore, you just see the pointlessness and tragedy of it all, you become a void, non-existence calls upon you, and these empty hollow sounds become your friend. The world is a laboratory that you study, you see the rats and their amusing habits, their vanity, but what are you? You see everything so clear now, you see “the truth” but the price you pay? Your humanity, your agency, your passions and emotions, your free will, its all gone! You no longer “live” anymore, you exist and observe!

One of the BEST binaural music the mystery the wind also soothing but...in a way sad thinking about existence and how cruel life can be yet at the same time this music is calming love it!
makes me feel like i'm the last survivor of an expedition gone wrong in Antarctica, aimlessly walking through the snow while shadow people stand still in a far distance near the mountains observing my movement.
The cover fits the music entirely. This combination makes humble and overcomes any seperation of body and mind, which are the usual consequences of our overly protected, complicated and shrill civilization. To be near death means to be more conscious of life. But be aware of the dark abyss into which we look then.
I think this might actually be affecting me subconciously. As soon as I turn it off, I start feeling worse again. It's not like listening to regular music. When I do that, my mind is still racing through thoughts and I don't actually feel better, I'm just trying to get my brain to release those sweet chemicals as a reward for hearing a good melody to distract myself. This is very different, it actually powers the mind instead of cluttering it. I'm not kidding, I can actually feel this inner bliss in my body.
You may want to try Meditation. It is not that your brain is releasing good chemicals as much as it is your brain is focused not allowing negative thoughts to enter your consciousness. Give meditation a try. And if you are willing to smoke a bit of herb, it will boost it drastically.
This has always been one of my favorites..captures the essence of the cold..the explorers surrendering their bodies to the unknown..The icy wind blowing over us tiny beings of water..all is quiet and purified and must surrender to the futility of biology here. Our cells clinging to the last beat of warmth in a desperate attempt to remain alive.
I like it cuz the whole entire vibe explains how I currently feel about my life, the best word to describe this music would mysterious which is obviously fitting, ... I have many unanswered questions ' about the tests and experiments being run here ....., and everyone else and covid 19 for that matter as well haha, as far it's relevancy to others , as well as me .
I've been feeling very depressed and lonely, especially the past few months. This kind of sounds how it feels most of the time for me, if that makes any sense. Really nice ambient mate
You all need to cheer up.its easy to say i know but in these dark times upon this earth we should all be a little bit more thank full that were alive.because its super fucking short.get yours and be happy.do what ever it takes to reach your true happy place.that sounds kinda lame but there is no life beyond this.that in its self is depressing enough....so fuck everybody but yourself and focus on your happiness....get yours while you can.
This is one of the best dark ambient tracks ever made, coupled with the image and the theme its just perfect. Seriously there should be a 10hr version.
"Do you know why I love you, Sazed?" she asked quietly. "I cannot fathom," he answered honestly. "Because you never give in," she said. "Other men are strong like bricks-firm, unyielding, but if you pound on them long enough, they crack. You. . .you're strong like the wind. Always there, so willing to bend, but never apologetic for the times when you must be firm. I don't think any of your friends understand what a power they had in you."
This ambient is jut masterpiece and the picture too. This is the real realm of exploration. Hands down to this brilliant people , real drivers of mankind. Thanks for making this great edit

Listen to this while reading Thin Air or Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Modern ghost stories written in an older style, set in the Himalayas / North Pole. It works so well.
Arthur Schopenhauer is often criticized for his bleak outlook on the human condition. However critical you may be of him, I would find it difficult to refute his claim that art is a powerful tool to mitigate suffering, this video being a prime example of that. This and G A S are some of the few things that can calm the storm for me as of late. To quote a comment on another video I saw somewhere "The rest is just noise at the moment." Thanks for this video.
This type of music isn't for just anyone. I love almost all Dark, deep heavy ambient to set the mood for writing my book about a Serial Killer in what has turned out to be a Supernatural Horror story with different parts going on.
My brain can't decide if it wants to decend into a paranoid spiral about what lies in nothingness, or to calm down and ease my worries. Very well put together, and describes my relationship with isolation very well. Thank you.
Out of every piece of media i've ever consumed this is the only one thats gotten me to comprehend what true cosmic horror is like. Less so horror, more sheer mystery. Humanity's the only one cognizant of this mystery and we try to solve it. But like babies without parents we just got plopped into this world and are endlessly lost trying to figure it out. Gain knowledge or attach meaning. But the cliffs and the stars and such don't change. They always remain arcane and mysterious, bigger and beyond us. This photo is just an example of that - these capable men traveling to God knows where and seeing god knows what. Makes me think lovecraft's Old Gods arent monsters, but simply stars and black holes. No wonder we came up with angels and demons. Nice song.

Upon hearing this for the first time, i was drawn into it instantly. I can't stop listening to it. It gives me an apocalyptic type of feeling. Like when all hell is breaking loose and you've done something you've never done before, to defend yourself or something like that, but after doing said activity, you're lost in your own thoughts and the world around you goes quiet and this plays in your head. This has honestly pushed me into wanting to work on a novel I've had in mind for a while now. Thank you my good sir, for this beautiful creation ❤️
For years, this has been my go to track for concentrating on tasks at work and helping keep a relaxed mind when dealing with difficult customers and clients. Thank you for the ambience and helping a stressful mind stay calm.
I'm in the third year of my PhD and alone in the Lab, studying for the PhD qualifying exam and it is so hard... Listening to this song can express and show how hard and dark my path is... After covid19 hit the worlds everything looks darker, colder, and scarier... I wish people could understand me and help me... but i only have myself...
think of yourself as a key, someday, someone will have need of you in order to get to their destination. we all are connected in some form, i wish you the best.
I discovered this video last year, thought it was cool. I've been listening to this almost every night for months. It's flawless. I discovered a great book because of it, one of my favorite podcasts, and I'm still not tired of it.
I've listened to so many kinds of different sounds to relax. Wind, rain, blizzards (arctic, one of my favorite) spacecraft cabins, binaural sounds.... But that one, with that amazing picture of the old expedition to Elephant Island, that one... OMG, my #1 choice so far. Thank you
I got lost in Norway once. Went camping above the treeline, tried to go back in panic because it was so cold. It got so misty ,the sight was only about 8 meters.. Prob one of the most scary memories I have. Yet when I look back at it, a strange feeling of peace comes over me. This reminds me of that
it's like standing in a place watching the transcendental sky...warm wind softly touches your skin...the song of the grass....solitude....and there, watching the sky, you are there with the universe. This is the supreme feeling.
Yes, I have experienced what exactly what you just described, in the mountains in sardinia, and I was drunk, and it was night, sky was full of stars, felt like the gods were watching me or something, very euphoric.
I always thought Thomas Köner (and his peers) should have put binaural beats under his atmospheres and here today I find what I wanted 20 years ago. Thanks!
After reading comments I really want to recommend the above artist THOMAS KÖNER. Tomas did these ambients first and way colder/bleaker -just without the binaurals...
Sorry for my English. I just found this, and honestly, I want to thank whoever who's behind this. This is simply beautiful and overwhelming. I've just write a little story about this piece and this photo while listening to it, obviously. I have never in my life experience a moment of inspiration like this one, so thank you, I was trapped in a hole of desperation because I couldn't write anything, I didn't found the inspiration, but this piece took me out of it. I hope whoever who's reading this can understand what I'm trying to say, I can't find the appropriate words in my language so in English it may sounds like a bunch of nonsense words. Have a great day.
Dark music tricks minds it wants us gone, be careful, don't give your soul to it, when you need something, evil can only help you to get something that you want for an exchange, it plays tricks on us, sneaks up tries to fight us, at the end we are blind, it only makes us all blind who get trapped into quick sand we sink in the sand forever
This one really stirs emotions up in me; I find myself intermittently tearing up for what seems to be no reason at all. I like it when certain pieces do that. The 4hz Theta binaural position is a special one to me. It assists in activating and influencing a lot of things, notably "vision", be it physical sight or fantasies of the dreaming mind. It is the storehouse for creative inspiration, as well as the repository for memories, emotions, and sensations. Wild stuff, indeed. The accompanying progressions within the misty musical composition is what I would personally attribute to the cause of my leaping overboard, into the obscure pools of subconscious emotional recollection. Sometimes, the initial vessel of transportation is not enough [4hz binaural frequency] . Everything requires something that provides some form of energy in order for things to properly operate. In this case, it would be ICA's simple, yet very effective artistic touch of what I would consider musical genius, and I believe it deserves more recognition and praise. Thanks for the worthy track, ICA; to your past, present, and future selves: may free will be with you and guide you to tranquility.
I have listened to this piece of music four or five times in the past two days. Out of all of your videos on this channel, this is my favorite. The image that accompanies this track is excellent as well. It brings to mind the book ‘The Terror’ by Dan Simmons or even the “Dyatlov Pass Incident “. ✌🏻✊🏻🙏🏻
I remember when I lived in my truck I would listen to this on repeat some how it made sense because it was in December to mid January and there were some nights I was absolutely freezing.
Please, keep this on yt. I keep returning to this piece. There is something here. I can't exactly see what it is but it's like something is missing. I come back every time a memory plays this trick on me or I feel "a missing piece". It allows so much space to think, yet the fog it brings is so thick the mind stops silent, don't know if it makes any sense
This soundtrack would fit any display of vastness from great landscapes to outer space to the clearest deep sea. It could even be the realization of a quest and its completion.
Was just playing a survival game and lost like 90% of my followers after making some rash decisions, now I'm contemplating my mistakes. Listening to this helps.
i am happy i found this. lately, quarantine and university have been killing my head from the aches. and now i can listen to this really soft, non-invasive piece of music that helps me think clearly. infinite thanks, ICA
Far out man ....or bunny 🐰 haha, the people here write some neat stuff here too haha, everyone seems to say it boosts creativity as well, and luv the sounds.
The story associated with the picture is a mind bender. Pics and music always become a film in my mind. This story filmed correctly and this music as sound for a scene without dialog, showing the stunning yet bleak beauty of their journey might be pretty cool. One can find nature's beauty in the harshest situations. We had an avalanche coming at us once on an ice climb, very high in the Rockies. Oddly. I was scared at all, I just noticed how beautiful the area was and how powerful the avalanche was. This music would fit that moment in slow motion. I was scared after we didn't die. It took most of our gear away.
Want some plans for the evening? "Mountains of Madness" by Lovecraft or the graphic novel by Gou Tanabe based on it/ "The Terror" by Dan Simmons/ Dyatlov Incident (yesterday (02/02/2019) was 60th anniversary, what a coincidence) and THIS music!
Those are all arctic \ desolate freezing locations where something ancient once called home that kills any human trespassers like those fellas in the picture there about to discover something truly fantastic and terrifying!
Considering the timeline this photo was taken, to think that halfway across the world, humanity was fighting in one of the worst wars ever in history. And on the other side, this expedition group was in one of the coldest and most isolated parts of the world that is Elephant Island. Feels weird thinking about that
It's a Monday , gloomy skies outside. It's been raining for 3 days straight , life seems to be too repetitive... Like some glitchy program . This music is just the thing I need to help me through the day
Honestly, this is my favorite track of all ambient tracks on youtube. There is just something about it. I feel likes it the anthem for isolation and desolation. Well done.
Wow 🤩 der Sound löst unendlichen Frieden & Ruhe in mir aus. Ich spüre soooo eine wahnsinnige Kraft in mir. Könnte ich stundenlang zuhören. Fühlt sich sehr vertraut an. Ich denke aber, man sollte es nicht hören wenn man an seinem tiefsten Punkt & Zusammenbruch steht. Ich wünsche euch allen ganz viel Licht & Liebe ❤️
Am I the only one who associates something positive with this song instead of loneliness? It relaxes me, invites me to dream, and forces me to confront myself. I find myself standing in an endless void where no one can disturb me-no distractions, no people, no tasks-just me in my purest form. It’s a very beautiful feeling. ✨
