More people have been to the moon than to the bottom of the world's deepest ocean. Yet in those deepest trenches and dales there is still life. Feeding silently and slowly on the death that drifts down to the floor. Pale ghosts, gray fish and dark creatures lurk, but most are passive scavengers. It is a chthonic area disturbing for all surface dwellers to look upon. Down here there are miles of emptiness, darkness and cold - but somehow life persists.
I am fully convinced that the reason we know more about our universe than our own ocean is because we, as a species, are deeply afraid of the ocean and do not wish to explore it. We could, but we do not want to. Something inside of us forbids it. We'd rather explore the cold void of space than the void of the ocean.
Wah? We want to, we try to. We just can’t due to depth and sheer size to cover. The biggest hurdle is the obvious pressure but also just commitment I suppose- space in comparison is a proper frontier with untamed lands- the ocean we’ve technically already mapped and know from what we already dig up what to assume we’d find. At best new species or more resources like metals, crystals and rocks. That’s useful, but space? Who knows. Not to mention if you can nail space travel then you pretty much guarantee your species the ability to move and survive indefinitely. This is our home, but it can’t be forever.
Honestly we should make more horror movies about the ocean. Because almost every human instinctively fears it on some level. The feeling of being in the dark, cold, muted expanse is worse than space, because at least in space there is some light, and no fear of hostile life. Humans fear the unknown, and the ocean is one of the most mysterious depths in humanity’s existence. Imagine yourself deep in the Pacific Ocean, by yourself, and just try to tell me you’re not scared. It’s empty, it’s dark, it’s cold, you can hear nothing except your own breath and heartbeat, and even those are muffled. Your movements are heavy and sluggish, subtle currents brush by you, maneuvering your body against your will in a direction you can’t even discern anymore. Up is down and any way you turn yourself does nothing to orient you. You may try to frantically swim- throwing out your legs, desperately clawing at the water _you find no purchase, are you even moving?-_ but perchance you are just bringing yourself deeper? What dangers are you swimming toward? You can see both very far and yet not beyond your own limbs. Every other second your racing mind thinks you see something out of the corner of your eye- you swear something brushed past you! Perhaps you hear a low gurgling, or a faint chittering, clacking, in the not so distant distance, but you can’t tell.
A game where you're trapped at the bottom of the ocean, forced to survive on partially filled o2 bottles while trying to avoid some of the many hunters waiting for you to enter their grasp by stepping in just the wrong place. Meanwhile, there is something large and unfathomably ancient swimming around. Does it want to kill you? Does it eat people? Is it a hunter? It it, more specifically, hunting you?
Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time. Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown
@@Asatruar1995 And before that there was light, and before light there was darkness. And everything came from that darkness. But arguably most religions and origin mythos mention "a primordial ocean infinitely permeated in darkness" as the mother of all thing.
@@boblazer9220 that "ocean" is space ;) there is an excellent docu somewhere about how there is actually a lot of water in space, even on stars, and how thus water permeates everything. Space is not void and empty. But it IS dark.
Ponder this, my friends: we know more about the surface of Mars, a planet located millions of miles from us, than we do about the oceans of our own planet. The entire surface of Mars has been carefully mapped and photographed from orbit, while the vast majority of our own sea floor has never been explored, only having been roughly imaged using sonar. Also consider that the chemistry of life may likely have originated in hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, meaning that we have taken but a tiny peek at the realm from which we once came.
fear the elder voices... floating in the wind fear the ancient eyes... glaring from the sky fear the ancestral horns... hidden in the trees fear the old blood... In the darkness of the earth
One of the most moving elements of the Dahlia’s Tear sound, for me, has been its blending of dreamy elements and dark mood at the same time. It is like you are dying while you are smiling.
The gate to another dimension. Go inside and explore. There are different physical laws and living creators. But remember, don't stay there! Just for 54:49 minutes. Amazing sounds!
@@trashmouth-tozier Unfortunately enough, that would only be half of the truth. Thalassophobia is just the fear of deep bodies of water, or distance from land. Aquaphobia is being afraid of submersion and water in general, including everything thalassophobia covers, and then some. So you can tell how saying I have thalassophobia would be quite the understatement lol.
"....When I attained the conning tower I found the sea in general far less luminous than I had expected. There was no animal or vegetable phosphorescence about, and the city that sloped down to the river was invisible in blackness. What I did see was not spectacular, not grotesque or terrifying, yet it removed my last vestige of trust in my consciousness. For the door and windows of the undersea temple hewn from the rocky hill were vividly aglow with a flickering radiance, as from a mighty altar-flame far within....Later incidents are chaotic. As I stared at the uncannily lighted door and windows, I became subject to the most extravagant visions-visions so extravagant that I cannot even relate them. I fancied that I discerned objects in the temple-objects both stationary and moving-and seemed to hear again the unreal chant that had floated to me when first I awaked. And over all rose thoughts and fears which centred in the youth from the sea and the ivory image whose carving was duplicated on the frieze and columns of the temple before me...." The Temple by H.P. Lovecraft
Oh my God, I was reading The Temple listening to this music and I stop reading for a moment and find your comment about the exact same part I was reading, simply incredible
as soon as i get a new pc i will be buying the cryo songs that i listed and liked also buy fallout 4 and use "frost survival simulator" mod. i have played some of it and it was truly a magical experience. Frost combined with cryo chamber music makes fallout FEEL like 'fallout'; cold dead wasteland with a few human survivors which either attack you or ran away scared from you. Nuclear winter claimed the whole world. Commonwealth is in snow and mostly dead and empty, you can choose to rebuild some settlements or go for "lone survivor" there are no dialogues for firendly npcs(yet) a few small factions. You have to do whatever you can to survive in this crazy world while trying to maintain your sanity (or not trying). Cryo chamber's dark ambient simply make it so much more.. impactful on the small things you encounter. Its a "game" experience that i think everyone on this channel should taste. 'Begin again but know when to let go'.
Em... Actually these words belong to Bart Torgal who died on 4546B because of Kharaa before Aurora's crash and the appearance of Ryley Robinson(main character) on 4546B
Listening to this music artwork while watching the storm afar on the horizon with all the greys, violets, purples and almost blakish colors mixing one to another... wow, this is a gift! Thank you
I'm sure we all listened to the many New Age music of rushing ocean water slamming against the rocky shores and the pesky sea gulls making chirpy, chirpy sounds with harp music in the background ... witch is nice if you like to have a pic-nic. But Dark Underwater Ambient selects only the few to take a deep breath and dive into the murky depths below and immerse yourself into the uncharted seas. I'll just cling to my rubber raft and drink my rum thank you and hope never to be rescued 🌙
It is an illusion that oceans are blue and peaceful... They are darker than anyone can imagine and this music is deep journey through deep darkness of the unknown...
1. The worn wooden platform sways most discouragingly beneath you as you are lowered down an ever-darkening stone shaft. Occasionally, the primitive elevator will brush up against the narrow walls, scraping away generations of moss and lichens that have made their home along the neglected stone. The air is warm and wet and smells of boiled meat. Condensation coats every surface, along with something that looks, feels, and smells almost exactly like lard. The rope upon which your platform lowers thrumms like a guitar string. It is sudden and deliberate. Something is tampering with the rope in the pitch darkness above you, beyond the fragile light of your toarch. It happens again. Harder this time. You can feel the whole platform vibrate with the pale, atonal thrum. It tickles your feet, and for an absurd moment, you find yourself suppressing a giggle at the sensation. The moment passes, as you begin to hear the gasping. A dozen throats wheezing and gulping for breath, almost but not quite synchronized. The sound is difficult to hear over the scraping of the platform against the wall and the increasingly violent thrumming of the rope, but it grows louder my the second and soon the gasps rain down from the darkness above you in enough clairity to identify words. Horrible words.
You have reached the underwater checkpoint! Congratulations fellow traveler, not many have been able to make it this far, nor do they attempt to come here. We barely have visitors here... Take a breather, you must know its dangerous beyond this point.. Good Luck.
We descended into the dark depths of the ocean, drifting - it seemed - silently into the black, murky waters. The temple opening was small and obscure, easily missed had we not been searching for it. The weak glow of its internal light disturbed me. I knew it was caused by the amber crystal within. But to see that soft orange slot in the dim cathedral of water around us was unnerving. My stoic teammates had no response. Of course, they were trained to quiet their feelings. I, on the other hand, was a bundle of nerves, anxious to see Dahlia (if she was still alive), and scared of Dr. Moroder, and what monstrous creation he had unleashed down here. If we survived, I vowed never to return. But something told me this was our last trip either way.
...I don't find myself disturbed, here. Just at peace, and able to write. Not all dark ambience must be frightening or unsettling, and this is honestly what I've been looking for--something subdued and serious that calms the mind and body.
I bet Sonic would be terrified to be underwater in dark water in The Sonic Series considering his fear of water. Although seeing The Sonic Characters going to underwater locations especially dark underwater ones would be unique and really cool.
Best thing in 2018 for me was new Dahlia's Tear album on Cryo Chamber. These guys are the best companion for lonely winter nights. Cryo Chamber adds another dimension of course. You can feel it in every note.
Such a magnificent compilation! Love you guys at Cryo Chamber. :) On Keosz's track just now. The overall ambience is so wonderful and relaxing, with that overarching theme of slight dread and the unknown, like a submarine descending deeper and deeper into the ocean. This will definitely become a favourite for sure! Another comment mentioned how seamless the transitions were between each song. I completely agree! I can't for the life of me tell where a new track ends and another begins, honestly! Masterfully done. Love it!
You almost can see how the little ROV is descending more and more into the abyssal darkness of the ocean, plancton and alien looking jellyfish passing through the needle like ray of light protruding from the two headlights. Then once in a while some bizarre creature passes just beyond the light, while others are creating their own light in this eternal darkness. Cryo Chamber knows how to take people on a journey.
If I could choose a fantasy place to live, it would be an old temple hidden deep under the ocean. If I started meditating in a place like that I don't think I'd ever stop.
Beautiful music. The second movement kind of reminds me of Mandy Love Theme from the movie Mandy. I love that soundtrack and the film. And this by no means takes away from the artistry on this piece. The authenticity is still very compelling here. I love this.
Not everybody can hear and understand these sound! Nice masterpiece and I dreaming to be the omega in these universe who needs to understand the end of everything to begin something new existence! Who wants to live forever! Timeless sound for old souls!
OHHH had a thought. An "Endless Corridors" Mix. Gives the feeling of continuing down a neverending path. I'm writing a story right now about an apartment building that creates such a path for its tenants. :D
I always imagine being some DC Atlantian and going through the waters of Atlantis.. And beyond, so high tech, Yet there's a sort of majesty to the depths. It's almost alien like, yet it's right in our planet. This fits in rather well. Thank you.
Alone atop a pale blue dot, In a plane so dark and cold. Orbited by chunks of rock, Footprints on its alien stone. We can travel high above. We've seen the empty craters whole. But we don't know, beneath the sea. We don't know, we just don't know. We know some things, the ghosts of sight. That live in fear of sun's gold light. The shimmering white, that glow in sea. That cannot rise, cannot be free. But those that float, we can discern. From our stone, of our own earth. But if we hear, the roars below. We must flee, to alien stone.
I’ve listened to Keosz-All I Had To Do soooo many times before this mix. But when I listened to this from the start and it got to that song the whole feeling and tone of the song felt so different and geared towards the feeling of a dark underwater mystery that was unraveling before my mind. Well done! I love it.
I had the same feeling with the "Seer" by Atrium Carceri. It is like all these guys composed these pieces under dark waters of the Pacific, thousand miles deep down :) Fits perfectly good.
Reading Wells's "The Island of Dr. Moreau" with this is becoming more deep and existential than anything else. Thank you. Always here, in this channel, while I proceed my sci-fi and lovecraftian readings.
I was listening to this mix while reading "The Colour out of space" by H. P. Lovecraft. Probably one of the most creepy experiences I've ever had... Great job on providing a superb soundtrack!
