@@diemuffinmannMe too. I like the natural sounds around me when I am out in the forest, desert or wherever. I only listen to music if I am driving through the landscapes.
Back in the 70's I first heard Tangerine Dream LP "Rubicon" and it blew me away I now like the new breed people like Thom Brennan Robert Rich Steve Roach
2:13:30 I got lost in what I was doing and forgot I had this playing, I started to wonder where that water-dripping sound was coming from... then realized I am a doofus.
the whole purpose of this piece was to listen to it through your sleep at night. 7 hours is perfectly normal sleeping time for humans, so why "song" wound have to be shorter, the idea was to fall asleep and to wake up in the same environmental tune, therefore the name is Somnium!
Why the hell are there ads? Is it not the most egregious thing to have extremely intrusive advertisements on an amazing ambient work like this? My experience was completely obliterated when McDonalds stepped into my vulnerable and peaceful headspace.
How about we have two genres for this kind of music from now on? Ambient Music for moderately melodic but largely astructured soundscapes that produce a mood, sustain that mood, and even evolve that mood. And then Ambiance. Somnium isn't even music. It IS ambiance.
@@fleaship6134 But it's often 1h compilation of different artists called Ambient Mix. That's not the same. THIS is true ambient artist. Of course there are very different pioneering bands in Ambient genre, but Rich is probably best at that ''peaceful'' minimalist ambience.
@@utqiagvik1991 I wasn't fucking referring to ambient compilation mixes. I was referring to incredible ambient albums from pioneering ambient artists such as SAW 2 by Aphex Twin, Sleep by Max Richter, Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno, TOWERS by TOWERS, 1979 by Deru, The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski plus there are lesser known ambient producers that have produced exquisite ethereal ambient albums like Mer De Revs by How To Disappear Completely and For Those Who... by Huerco S plus there are hundreds more!
"So much goes on in nature and you have to calm down to see it, I mean you have to really calm down, and sometimes I think the power of low doses of psychedelics is simply that they make people sit down, shut up, and pay attention." - Terence McKenna
This music was designed to give vivid dreams. It matches with the phases of sleep. It was used in an oneironauticum in 2015 or 2016. Play this while sleeping and use some oneirogen. It opens a new world of divination.
This was the first ambient track I ever found and lead me to discover some of the most beautiful and otherworldly tracks out there. This by far holds a special place in my heart. I remember discovering it at college and just letting it run while the classroom was quiet and everybody was working. It was between this and 8 hours of night train, another track which holds a place in my heart. Somnium, 8 Hour Night Train, Brad McBride and William Basinski's Watermusic II' were my introduction to ambient music, so peaceful and relaxing.
Nice choices as ambient intros. May I suggest Robert Curgenben's Climata? An amazing ambient and drone album that can be listened to normally or both discs simultaneously. It's a really beautiful journey.
The flute keeps blue balling me by never hitting F after hitting F# or D#. You expect F to be the next note in the scale, it should be the next note in the scale, but the flute fades out before hitting F. It’s obnoxious. But it also evokes emotions of longing, loss, and dread. I respect it.
I usually listen to a lot of metal and rap, and to be honest I can't even remember what was the first ambient artist/album I ever heard (probably something by Spheruleus), but there is something about this music that always keeps me coming back, I drew some of my finest art and dreamt some of the most beautiful dreams while listening to this genre of music, there is just something so pure and honest about it that I just can't let it go. Just a random rant, just got home after a few drinks and felt like writing this, hope someone relates, enjoy this fine piece of music...
If you like this, you should look into the work of Steve Roach as well. Makes similar "panambient" music and has made a series of iOS apps called "Immersion Stations" that lets you take the individual elements of a track and cycle them together randomly for as long as you want.
This is more spiritual to me than spooky. It makes me feel...everything that once was at the beginning or perhaps the end of time. Then again it feels timeless. If you dedicate yourself to REALLY listening and leave behind all preconceived ideas of what is frightening and just listen to what you hear, you may hear and feel many things, even fear is there for a reason. This is more than "spooky" - It is the sound of life and birth and water, air , birds, breath...it is all that life holds. It is a true masterpiece. Leaving this world for now and opening the door to a better reality...unknown, yet peaceful and exciting. Fills me with a somewhat melancholy longing for somewhere, sometime...Thank you for sharing this world with all of us who love it. Peace to all, everywhere. Off to dreamland.
You enter into the dream realm. As you begin your journey. As you look up into the sky there is a light at the end of the rain forest. Your journey begins now. Find what lies at the end to awaken your inner you. To finally be free and achieve eternal bliss. To awaken from a cocoon to free yourself and become one. With yourself.
The first track is amazing. For those of you WoW players, it makes me feel like I'm walking through the lost jungles of Stranglethorn Vale, or the jaded mists of Feralas.
This is very very good for studying. I cracked a mathematical proof that I've been having a hard time with for a while. It is nothing Earth shattering, but the point is...this music clears up blockages in thought! Thanks Robert Rich once again!
Combien de fois cette musique m'a sauvé... Dans les moments difficiles, je m'en retourne, je m'allonge dans la nuit et j'écoute simplement. Et je m'apaise. mon être s'unifie à nouveau. Et s'attache à l'essentiel. Merci Robert.
because it is a music you can work listening to. delicate, ambient tunes in the air help focus on the task at hand while allowing your mind to remain relaxed and isolated from the common outside noise.
it's musical art. let's just put it that way. it is a form of meditating because if you let you mind go free on this track. you will see amazing things depending on how you feel that moment. this track gives me an other kind of daydreamish experience each time. you should go out in the mountains at full moon clear sky and be totally alone. have a fire up on a peak and watch how the earth spins and what the universe is looking like. even just walking in the woods with this track is amazing. ;)

Такая музыка, англичане и могу и должны писать больше музыки про природу и то что там за горами есть райские места для очищения души, молодцы Англичане
I have slept to the soft sounds of my 8 hour mp3 disks of classical music for a long time now, and can say that they have definitely influenced my sleep and my dreaming. But I will definitely give this one a try tonight. Fascinating! Thanks for the upload!
It is a masterpiece. Yes. But this branch gives me shivers. I see myself lifting it, walking underneath and stepping into a vast, dripping forest where Things happen.
Just discovered this artist. This is the kind of ambient music I like. The kind that has a spiritual feel to it. I have a feeling I’m going to be going through this guy’s discography..
Ich wünschte mir die Welt,die Menschen wären so wie diese wunderbaren Gefühle die ich habe, die ich im Rausche dieser wunderbaren Melody empfinde.Träume,Illusionen,und Wünsche können so bezaubern,wenn die richtige Musik Herz,und Seele umschließen.In sehnsuchtsvollen Spähren und unendlicher Weite entfliegt meine Seele meiner Erlösung entgegen,und wird eins mit dem Lichte der Schöpfung.Auf Ewig!
Sometimes when i'm listening to (especially Robert rich), i strike my mind into this "magic zone", i feel like my body is giving up, my ego dying, everything around me becoming one, you and me. It's like a room, where you and i are together alone in a perfect understanding.
because it sounds like nature but it is new and different. I don't know. it sounds like the music of the nature you want to be in. it makes you dream of other places you wish you could be. it makes you forget the stress of city life. or it makes you dream you live in a city or in a forest or in space or in hell. it makes you forget your life and takes you to another place.
I’ll never forget my Sophomore year of high school. AP World History, the teacher was barely there, all of my friends and I were free to fuck around and do whatever we wanted. One day, I remember laying on a table in the back of the room with this in my headphones and drifting to sleep. Yeah, that was a good class.
I've used this for meditation for years. A long time ago, there used to be an iOS app officially licensed by Robert Rich that played segments of each hour of Somnium in random, mixed order infinitely. You could adjust how long it took for the app to change segments. It was a fantastic ambient music app, but sadly it kinda disappeared from the app store years ago. I have an old first-gen iPod touch with this app and I still use it, but unfortunately it's kind of trapped in time...even if you took the app and manually installed it on a newer iOS device, it won't work since it was never updated for the new versions of the OS.
The second night I sit and listen to it. That's great. I imagined myself lying on my planet in a field, in the middle of a huge wasteland. This album is playing around and I'm happy.
one gets a great sense of peace and tranquillity from listening to parts of Somnium. the widespread water sounds, either dripping from forest canopy or sounding like water sloshing against a boat , slow moving bass sounds , echoic reverberant feel.
this music with or without electronics exist since 40 or fifty days with tangerine dreams , klaus schultze , terry riley as pioneers ... and " the beat goes on " with news musicians , new technology , but it's always the same thing . In a style more ( ! ) dark , listen " phragments and Corinth " or " dark-Ambiant archives ( mixed session ) " ... Good trip , and excuse me for my bad english .
I have insomnia regulary , and i listen all kind of shit to fall sleep. I have to say that this song is the best i hve listened for this. The most relaxin sound for along time
I think the true meaning as to why this incredibly eery and dark ambient music is so calming is because we as humans find comfort and ease of mind in safety from the unknown. The differences in reaction to this music in a light forest or a pitch dark forest example this.
It’s likely lost listeners here listen to this music in the comfort of their beds, homes or cars rather than in the open camping or walking through the bush at night
very good! I love to listen to this when I'm working on a painting or drawing or whatever.. It makes youre subconcious take over, so to speak. "It takes you to another place" great music.
ButterMeOrange This recording is making me go back to sleep,in anticipation of a long day on the regional rail to Jefferson hospital in center city Philadelphia
I Love it.....it's exactly what I've searched for for so long with no luck, but now I've found it......This is perfect for studying ,meditation and/or sleeping.
Exactly ! Just like ur emotions, this piece has no structure but emotional resonance. I believe in someway this is a language, a language of subconscious.
thank you for this Aeter Saath ... melancolic and deeply ambiant music ... this evolutive and repetitive melody is a miracle ... difficult for me to listen the piece enterly ( ! ) , but every listening is better and i enter slowly in this perfect universe again and again ... one of these days , i'm going to try an experience before sleeping untill the awakening .... i shall tell you my impressions and results if i'm alive after that !!! ...Yves , Nice in France ...
at 6:01:35,going to the end tonight without passing out or whatever, found out I had a talent for meditation though, with this, there are no "flaws" and seriously..this is genious. This is one of the Big 4-5 in MY life, 1. was Sex Pistols, my "wibe" was shooked by Nirvana too, Lemmy is the King of rock`n`roll, music are getting better and better, I love this. But after this night it can rest for a while, I`m mentally exhausted..dude
The first 2.5 hours of etheric electronic are mellow and relaxing, after that it gets loud and annoying, like white noise. After about 2 hours it mellows out again.
very well said, jamesedwardtheobald ... seems sometimes like music for music's sake is most enjoyable w/ out having to liken it to a specific film, a particular era or style or other cultural reference, (but maybe a lot of the people who feel that way don't post comments to youtube ?) in any case, thanks for pointing that out, music was probably more enjoyable when imagination 'met it 1/2 way', before it started getting re-purposed for films and other commercial uses
Jo Do Effects will depend of your personality and if you re on a bad moon or not. I ve listened this track many times and got a lot of different dreams. It works because this track is atmospheric and got a lot of variety of sounds
I like to break this out every Fall. Isn’t this great? Musician myself and can’t imagine how much work a 7 HOUR RECORDING may have been. I love many ambient artists, my 2nd fave is Stars of the Lid, but Robert Rich is easily the best and should be in his own category. This man paints with sounds! If you like this one, check out his Perpetual, and Humidity. Nice long recordings that soothe and color and calm the overactive mind.

It's to realize terapy geeting out soul of dream and life Thinking on waves and sea , and sphere of air.
Means you are healing brother..
The final portion of this album is incredible.
👍👍
I listened to this when I was awake and it's still a pretty great ambient/drone album.
Between the murmurs of the forest, the wind that belies the sea, and metallurgical plant !
Nice to meet you here my good friend. Your taste in music i salute .
@@SelfHealingGod thank you very much and have a nice day!!!
Madness my old friend I have come again..
Never Done Before! One Thousand and One Nights of Sleeping Music…Thank You Robert Rich.
Reminds me of the Myst series, good memories.
I have insomnia regulary , and i listen all kind of shit to fall sleep. I have to say that this song is the best i hve listened for this. The most relaxin sound for along time
I think the true meaning as to why this incredibly eery and dark ambient music is so calming is because we as humans find comfort and ease of mind in safety from the unknown. The differences in reaction to this music in a light forest or a pitch dark forest example this.
It’s likely lost listeners here listen to this music in the comfort of their beds, homes or cars rather than in the open camping or walking through the bush at night
This is like something you'd hear in the background of Half Life 2 or something. So perfect.
automated slayer 1789 why do you let hate live within you ?

wow. says who? entitled much?
Absolutely amazing. Leaves me with so many questions.
"where are my pants"
very good! I love to listen to this when I'm working on a painting or drawing or whatever.. It makes youre subconcious take over, so to speak. "It takes you to another place" great music.
i feel utterly unnerved and filled with anxiety while listening to this. it feels like my mind and body are separating, and it is not a good feeling.
You're glimpsing the abyss my friend, people get lost there. Especially with psychedelics. Memories of a dream, long forgotten...

This recording is making me go back to sleep,in anticipation of a long day on the regional rail to Jefferson hospital in center city Philadelphia
@@crazierthorn10 Well put my friend. The unnameable dreams whisper from behind the veil
I Love it.....it's exactly what I've searched for for so long with no luck, but now I've found it......This is perfect for studying ,meditation and/or sleeping.
truly amazing, you can get things done while listening to this, relax to it, have a good sleep and dream with it, brilliant in every way
!Impresionante! Es la Aurora Boreal auditiva.
Exactly ! Just like ur emotions, this piece has no structure but emotional resonance. I believe in someway this is a language, a language of subconscious.
Listening to this in a dark room right now while enjoying some top notch mushrooms 🐭
it's such an escape...
such an amazing piece
I do believe Robert Rich has orchestrated some of my past dreams... feels like stepping through a portal to astral travel... wonderful.
thank you for this Aeter Saath ... melancolic and deeply ambiant music ... this evolutive and repetitive melody is a miracle ... difficult for me to listen the piece enterly ( ! ) , but every listening is better and i enter slowly in this perfect universe again and again ... one of these days , i'm going to try an experience before sleeping untill the awakening .... i shall tell you my impressions and results if i'm alive after that !!! ...Yves , Nice in France ...
This is a Masterpiece
Yes it is!
Great album...
a soundtrack to many late nights in the library
My God that will had been awesome..
at 6:01:35,going to the end tonight without passing out or whatever, found out I had a talent for meditation though, with this, there are no "flaws" and seriously..this is genious.
This is one of the Big 4-5 in MY life, 1. was Sex Pistols, my "wibe" was shooked by Nirvana too, Lemmy is the King of rock`n`roll, music are getting better and better, I love this.
But after this night it can rest for a while, I`m mentally exhausted..dude
too short
😂😂😂
Too $hort, I love his albums!
Just put the next one...

Whoa this guy was doing ambience before it was cool! Nice!
Great for D&D ambience while players try to avoid terrors of the night.
a sublime masterpiece
Inspiration and mystery
Mesmerizing
Amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Wordless!
Sonido de lluvia+relajacion+suspense un poco+toque cosmico=maravilla maravillosa.oye.no se cuando lo escucharé entero
Lo pudistes terminar? Ya van 8 meses de tú post lol. Apenas yo estoy empezando.
@@AthenaGM Lo terminaste?
sometimes you just have to relax
AMAZING moment in music history.....a musical sleep in....for lucid dream purposes.....I wonder how well it worked?
The first 2.5 hours of etheric electronic are mellow and relaxing, after that it gets loud and annoying, like white noise. After about 2 hours it mellows out again.
I love this music.
this is largely where my head resides, thank you, robert.
So amazing!!
very well said, jamesedwardtheobald ... seems sometimes like music for music's sake is most enjoyable w/ out having to liken it to a specific film, a particular era or style or other cultural reference, (but maybe a lot of the people who feel that way don't post comments to youtube ?) in any case, thanks for pointing that out, music was probably more enjoyable when imagination 'met it 1/2 way', before it started getting re-purposed for films and other commercial uses
draccarddrac interesting, good point
i`ve listened this the whole night and i woke up many times because i had nightmares.
YourDeath311 around the middle the album gets some scary sounds, had the same
Dolan Duk You got nightmares from this too?
Jo Do Lets say It gave some uneasy dreams!
Jo Do Effects will depend of your personality and if you re on a bad moon or not.
I ve listened this track many times and got a lot of different dreams.
It works because this track is atmospheric and got a lot of variety of sounds
dude, that's just your reflection. relax
I like to break this out every Fall. Isn’t this great? Musician myself and can’t imagine how much work a 7 HOUR RECORDING may have been. I love many ambient artists, my 2nd fave is Stars of the Lid, but Robert Rich is easily the best and should be in his own category. This man paints with sounds! If you like this one, check out his Perpetual, and Humidity. Nice long recordings that soothe and color and calm the overactive mind.
Love it.Start listening when I get tired.Zzzzzz
Listened to this on an eight hour flight to Hawaii.
You're a terrible troll
automated slayer 1789 a troll and a baby
huh?! why the heck would you even say this stuff ....just listen to this vid and calm down LOL
I freaking love Hawaii... I lived on Molokai for a few months and have been to every island. I need to go back at some point... cheers
What did you do on the last or first hour?
Because it make me feel in other place, like if the music is telling a story wich involves me
I'm going to places I've never been before
