:)

gostei bastante, me lembrou das noites que eu ficava andando em circulos no escuro pensando na vida durante o lockdown. o violao me pareceu um elemento bem diegetico, como se o proprio gene tivesse tocando ele pra tentar lidar com a situaçao de reclusao dele, e a musica realmente demonstra essa situaçao, em alguns momentos ela soa "vazia" mas ainda delimita as possibilidades, é um nada agonizante que te cerca e se mantem constante. Apesar disso ele parece conseguir encontrar inspiraçao pra preencher esse nada com o violao, transformando essa atmosfera em coadjuvante, ajudando a passar o tempo e essa sensaçao ruim, se acalmando, e com isso ele se aproxima lentamente do sono e aí, como dormir, a percussao vem de repente, marcando esse universo dos sonhos e da tranquilidade. curti o projeto, manda muito

nao tenho muito pra comentar sobre essa parte, me parece bem guiada por uma incerteza, uma sensaçao de estar fazendo algo sem de fato perceber suas açoes e sentir o tempo passando rapidamente, de estar com a cabeça em outro lugar enquanto as coisas so acontecem ao seu redor, tanto que ate o uivar dos lobos parece abafado e distante e parece nao provocar mudanças. e talvez o que tenha me passado essa impressao tenha sido justamente ver a faixa com o nome "Lisa" e ficar me perguntando desde o inicio sobre o que ou quem seria, o que eu acho interessante porque parece que acaba me colocando neste mesmo lugar do Eugene de estar pensando em Lisa ao invés do presente.

Music is good, video is unsettling

This has opened my eyes on other ways to make music thankyou. It feels like its inspired by C418?

aqui novamente pra comentar. acho que essa parte é marcada bastante pelo contraste entre as musicas e uma tensão bem menor do que a anterior. "Signs" passa uma vibe bem de estranhamento, um uncanny valley. Com "Dawn" dava ate pra dormir, esses passarinhos de fundo e ate o tremor passa uma sensaçao de bocejar, muito confortavel. "Deerhunting" lembrou bastante "Lunar" e nao teria muitas coisas pra falar se não fosse o tiro: ABSURDO. O jeito que ele vem sem aviso nenhum (eu me assustei duas vezes procurando ele) traz a ideia de que a musica nao ta acompanhando o Eugene de fato mas sim a situaçao dele, ao ponto em que a propria melodia nao esperava pelo disparo e que ela acaba se perdendo em sequencia antes de se recompor num clima funebre, como se estivesse de luto pela presa, para depois voltar à normalidade, fenomenal. E, por fim, "Snowfall", não sei bem o que falar do começo, passa uma sensaçao que eu nem sei pontuar direito e é bem interessante, ja a segunda parte eu vejo como bem esperançosa, quase como uma certeza de que as coisas vao dar certo ou talvez uma certeza de que o amanha esta por vir, não sei porque mas me lembrou um pouco de disco elysium. tinha esquecido de falar isso na outra parte mas a arte tambem é muito boa e adiciona bastante, infelizmente nao uso instagram para prestigiar a artista mas ta ai.

pretty sweet stuff. I like the shot noise during the hunt.

Not enough reverb

this is so gangsta

muito bom, nao melhor q carlos adao mas ai tambem é pedir demais. gostei especialmente da transiçao de "fireplace" pra "pines" e da tensao crescente nesta ultima faixa. "sundown" achei bem bonita, e que passa bem a ideia do pôr do sol mesmo da contemplaçao e admiraçao contraditoria desse pressagio da noite. "lunar" talvez seja minha favorita, realmente invoca um certo temor da noite bem na vibe de ter medo de escuro, principalmente com os sons mais sutis que remetem aos barulhinhos que ouvimos a noite e as vezes da aquele frio na espinha; mas acho que o que mais gostei foi esse som mais agudo (nao sou bom em identificar instrumentos) traz muito a ideia do vento uivando ao redor da cabana e uma sonoridade meio alienigena. em resumo: gostei muito, espero pela parte 2 (taca no google translate que da tudo certo) alias, o cachorro tem nome 👀?

"Autumn" honestly fit very well with the bus ride I was taking while listening to this. Very gray day in the American Midwest. "Dog" feels like a haunted copy of Stardew Valley. "Fireplace", ironically, felt very cold. In "Pines", each fully-pronounced keystroke on the piano felt like a footstep. The reverberations at the end felt like a very mild version of the Hell Sirens from EATEOT. "Sundown" seems to have three main forces: the piano, the synth, and the white noise. The actual sundown is the piano, whereas the white noise is the forest and the synth is the night encroaching on the cabin. There is an underlying stress to this piece. "Lunar" has the underlying stress from before, but is a lot calmer than "Sundown". (It is possible, though, that the stress of me misplacing my umbrella during my bus ride affected my listening experience.)

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks lately and this is giving me BIG "there's always music in the air" woods vibes. Let's face it, ambient is a difficult genre. You're either boring and generic (90% of the genre) or you're VERY good at it, so that people can actually remember your stuff. Somehow you managed to make pads not sound generic and most importantly you really managed to get that "woods" feeling. I really like this! Edit: I have no idea who you are, my youtube always gives me a lot of random music with very few views but I'm definitely gonna hear your stuff from now on.

Pines seems very peaceful, and something I'd listen to in order to relax. Wolves seems very foreboding, like the dark twin of Pines. The image takes me back to a lot of the camping trips I went on when I was younger.

very calming

Absolutely awesome and amazing music ! Magnificent composition, very inventive, and fantastic ambient.

"empty space" definitely feels like the opening track for an album like this. It has a haunting, somewhat cold atmosphere to it and it pronounces itself quite well. "longing for the night to end" is a bit warmer, but also much fuzzier. I could draw a comparison to the end of "J1- Stage 4 Post-Awareness Confusions" from EATEOT. I think that really sums up what I imagine this track representing apart from the obvious- confusion. "equinox" starts off with a somewhat distant loop that continues throughout the entire track. The sound likes to bounce between the ears; I'm not sure if this is just a quirk of my earbuds, if I'm just built like that, or if it was intentional. Either way, it has a nice effect. Some static cuts in and out a couple minutes into the track- given the name of the track, it could be wind in some nearby trees. Additionally, some distant siren-like sounds can be heard. Six and a half minutes into the track, things get a bit muted and fuzzy, representing the end of that particular illusion. "after dusk" starts off a bit clearer than the end of "equinox". While I can tell it's looping if I pay close enough attention, it doesn't feel like it's looping. It's a winding path, more than anything, and nighttime is generally a bad time to be on such a path. I almost feel like this is the track that accompanies when I'm awake late at night and still walking around my house. "eyes in the wall" continues naturally from "after dusk", and continues the sentiment I described at the end of that description. These two songs seem like paranoia fuel. Quite likely that this song is about a nightmare. Given the background ambience, it's probably one that induces sickness. The second half of the track, with its more muted repetition of the foreground ambience, allowing the sick stuff to take the stage, feels quite a bit sad. "under the stars" transitions cleanly from "eyes in the wall", and seems a bit simple for the first minute or so. Things get a bit spacey at times, but the piano in the foreground remains. A nagging drone slowly overtakes it, though. "a sudden silence", is not, in fact, silence. It's quite eerie, however, just like actual silence. The final couple seconds feel like tinnitus. "limbo" has some howling wind at the start; imagined screams of the damned, perhaps? The track is primarily static and drone at the start, making it indiscernible. A third of the way through the track, you can hear some muffled speech which outlasts the earlier static. Quite possibly nonsense, of course. There's absolutely some night terrors present in this track. Two thirds of the way through, a dog barks. But was it real? "what lies in the corner" opens with some strings in a rhythm not unlike a clock. The clock is definitely broken, and on repeat. Synths pervade pretty quickly, punctuating some of the fears present in whomever is having these dreams. Something is present that shouldn't be there, and it's making the POV acutely aware of all of the noise around them, even if said noise doesn't exist. "the floor is breathing" is cold and oppressive. I could hear ticking in my left ear for much of this track- in fact, it sounds like card-shuffling for Google solitaire. The ticking becomes more ubiquitous with time. In my right ear, a piano, as before. Felt like I was starting to go insane from this one track. But of course, this single-experience contrast that induces insanity is the point.

holy shit, listened to the full thing through, and i wasn't expecting to cry AT ALL. 10/10, i would listen again.

this scary and beautiful at the same time

Oh this is such a good idea ! I love the titles you came up with !

Here before 1million views

now i can use this for a minecraft creppypasta

Also, if you enjoyed, please comment some suggestions for future songs/track names for a part 2!

A1 is a pretty decent opening, sets the mood fairly well. Sunrise. A2 appears to use A1 as a leitmotif, and the moans in the background add to the feeling of grim anticipation that pervades every nursing home. Adult relatives dropping off groceries, residents talking with each other, etc. Mid-to-late morning. A3's focus on the piano adds a harrowing feel to the child's voice in the background. Little kids are visiting the resident- don't scare the little ones. Early afternoon. A4 will jumpscare you if you're not prepared. Sounds of the radio(or possibly a television) are the backbone of this track, allowing one to see the dread present in every octogenarian who keeps up with the times. Late afternoon. B1 feels relatively hollow after A4. The drums in the background add to the viewer's unease as some mild screeching beckons them to follow, the same way Death beckons. Early evening. B2's title reminds me of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"- more specifically, the line from the song "Hey You": "And the worms ate into his brain". The track itself, however, is quite unlike Pink Floyd, and is, of course, more similar to the Caretaker. The use of several discordant drones and some instruments displays confusion and desolation. Late evening. B3 is dampened, reminiscent of a relative who hasn't long to live. My twice-paternal great grandmother was happy to see me but a week before Christmas of 2018- she was always happy to see me. I could tell something was off when she didn't immediately recognize my face(more specifically, as something distinct from that of my cousin's), though. Midnight. The cover gaining more glitchy static as the album goes on is a nice touch adding to the feeling of decay.

this is such a funky lil brain massage I adore it 10/10

Is this what I think it is-

Only 1.2k views?

really cool concept

interesting idea but monsters immediately make the backrooms and liminal spaces not scary. the idea of being stuck alone forever in a place worse than death is much more terrifying to me that some cringy аss monster hunting you in the backrooms

Found this in my recommendations, good job

thats really dope

Interesting concept. Definite paranoia fuel under the right circumstances(I listened to this on my way home from school), and 2:46 doesn't lessen that effect.

Saw you link this on reddit and was pleasantly surprised… great job👍

Nice!

The album poses a very interesting question: what would society say in its final moments? A1, A2, and A3 are, collectively, the foreword of the album, setting the tone for the rest of it. Melancholy pervades A1(which incorporates a minor key and the dies irae) and A3(which emphasizes its percussion), while somewhat distant brass jazz adds to the feeling of loss in A2. A4 starts a bit more cleanly. It is noticeably longer and calmer than what came before. The air of hopelessness has already taken hold. A5, however, chimes in. You would expect that something straight from the artist would contain some semblance of hope- but you would be sorely disappointed. A5 is a beautiful turning point- nothing is upbeat after this track. B1 and B2 both have grinding openings. Both of them become less painful to hear after some time, however, the calm only exists because not much else remains. B3, another long track, is an interesting case. We are in the final moments before the end. What do people do? They talk to each other. Conversation- unintelligible to, at the very least, a native English speaker- is omnipresent. The final minute of the track is a lot more active- almost taunting you for not being able to hear what's being said. B4 finishes what B3 started- the conversation remains, but it's easier to hear(but not listen to) it due to the music being quieter. Society is gone now. All that remains are what the people think. B5 sounds lifeless, with a lone voice crying out into the darkness. There is very little music- in fact, it cuts out before the voice. My analysis on this one isn't as thorough as my analysis of SIFATISM- I'll likely give another listen later.

I came in with high expectations and somehow you blew them out of the water. I don't know how you do it but please keep it up.

*fire emoji*

this sounds SO cool, it had a very interesting concept, with stellar executions! also, for the next album, can i make a cover?

Very serene!

Omg congratulations on 100 subs. You deserve hundreds more and I hope you get them.

The beginning of K1 reminds me of this song. th-cam.com/video/umSJ--aGeYo/w-d-xo.html

This was amazing. It simply hits too hard-the intrusive thoughts, the doubt, the depression, the dissonance, everything - I listened to it all, all three hours, in one go, and i can't quite put into words how close home it hit, but it was an utterly unique experience. While listening, I wrote a poem, so I guess here it is. Hope you enjoy. "Dancing in Dissonance" When my very existence Is fraught with despair, Is met with resistance, And onlookers' glare When my rights to a life They debate in a court, They sow conflict and strife, Basic facts they distort, And though I fail to heal, And my life is not free, There's still somewhere I feel As though I am still me. And so, I will waltz, As if I never knew Those whose prophets are false And whose gods are untrue, Those whose lies fail to reach me, Whose malice and hate, Whose comments so curtly Attempt to irate… They don't work! I am dancing! I hear nought but the song! So compelling, entrancing, In which I sing along, I glide down like a bird Through eternal abyss Where existence is blurred Into dark, void-borne bliss And though I fail to heal, And my life is not free, There's still somewhere I feel As though I am still me. And the dissonant sounds Embraced, understood, Like no human in life Neither wanted nor could, As my thoughts claw their way Through my flesh and my skin And they tear out my bones And replace what's within, i sink lower, submerge in the deep-seated pain as red shadows surround me and drive me insane there was never a way there was never a chance i could live without fear, i could live as myself, i could live. i could live? i'm still breathing? A melody slowly emerges Softly in, Softly out, I repeat. Yes, things won't be the same, But my fate is not sealed, And my flickering flame, While still fragile, has healed. Is there somewhere still left Where I can still be, Is there somewhere I'll feel As though I am still me? I look up and around At the sunrise-red sky, As the rose-red surrounds, In relief, now, I cry. There are lows, there are highs But I'll live, I'll survive, Though my hopes may be lies, I will stay here, alive.

is there anywhere that we can download this album?

the first one sounds oddly like the end islands minecraft music

This was great! But I honestly don't know how I got here 😅 My TH-cam app just opened to this playlist

As a trans guy, I can feel the power of those audios. They express really well the angst non-cis people go through. So accurate!

this was an AMAZING album, with a stellar execution, loved it ALL!

This is really relatable

This is so cool
