Need to let my heart rate go back down after that big tension build. Nice!

Amazing building suspense! The piano is perfect adding to help feeling this great scaled ambient.

Quite the departure from your usual stuff, but really awesome work. Very cool atmosphere and intensity from start to finish.

haha yes that was the whole point. To get all the way into the great abyss into full panic attack!

What i recommend not doing - don't put on headphones while closing your eyes and turning the volume all the way up. I felt it somehow stopped me from breathing.

Thank you!

Yes I wanted to do something a bit different from the usual badabadabadabada [insert animal scream] pukapukapukapuka [ insert synthwave arp]. I am glad it worked.

A moment of dark cosmic revelation, terrifying and beautiful in equal measure. Love that layer dropping in around 1:45.

I love all of the layers in this song.  Could see this cinematic sound in an epic saga.  Great work.  I'm always in awe of these ambient type songs.  I never know how to finish these types of songs; ie: where to put the bass drum...

those bass booms hit such beautifully resounding accents as the track changes and transforms, skillful touches!

Cool concept and it really delivers on the premise.  This is pure bottled up tension, fear, and going headfirst in the unknown.

Bombastic, dramatic and daunting! Fat track!

this sounds incredible. Listening to it with headphones and it feels like a journey.

Really nice cinematic atmosphere! If you extended it by like 4-5 minutes I'm sure it would be a contender for a Cryo Chamber playlist It definitely sounds lovecraftian to me.

One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies. You definitely nailed the cinematic feel with lots of tension and space. Love how it builds to the high notes around 1:46. Damn chilling towards the end!

I love how you pivoted from attempting funky song to this, big change. Just gotta follow the muse! Totally feels like submerging into the abyss, love the voice (is that voice) around 1:35. Intense stuff, great job making song that takes us on such chilling journey. Ah, like how it tapers off and ends just at right time, leaves a kind of after effect to be felt. This could be a great score for an intense scene! Something about this week, I've heard few kind of chilling songs so far, what's happening!

Damn I lazily called my track a drone track because I stuck to one root note but my goodness that intro is true drone.    Totally nailed the stereo mix of everything.  I felt that madness!  Even the ending had that unsettled feeling of what's next?   Awesome work!

Nicely done, I too have lately been really enjoying these types of tracks, great build-up to the final wall of sound and the subtle piano is a nice touch.  Have been listening to Blood Incantation "Timewave Zero" this week, check them out, I think you will enjoy it.

This is spectacular in every way, but I'll start w/ the less obvious bit: the length is perfect and the pace is masterful -- I understand why it's impractical to create listening versions of soundtracks, but a lot of timing spent meanderingly waiting for the correct cut that plagues much of good film music experienced outside the film is gone here -- and this is why I wish more directors would embrace cutting their work to good music than not (but this has nothing to do w/ your work). I love the ever-inrcreasing "stair-steps" of frequency brightening, love the subs, and really like the ending. Lovely work, one of my favorites of yours (admittedly, w/ your music that has less meaning 'cuz I like your music a lot). (Sorry for the delay w/ the response, I've heard this several times through the week -- originally wanted to hear it in w/ headphones, then w/ good headphones, then wanted to download & stare at the spectroscope for a bit after hearing the bass hits in the car).

Great stuff!  A sense of wonderment amidst the brooding forbode until shit turns bad and everyone is cursed.  Haha.  Glad I could be of inspiration too!  Always a lovely thing.

Thank you! That is the moment where higher layers start to hit the track instead of the low rumble. Frequency overload!

It's interesting to try out that kind of tracks as they are super different from the usual instrument based tracks I am used to, so it's kinda hard to see how to make it evolve and when to change things. Good interesting experiment!

Thank you! Actually my only regret in this track is how quickly the bass booms recedes. Coming back to it, I would change it to make it sustain a little more.

Thank you! I am happy it conveyed the feeling I was going for!

Thank you!

Thank you! This track is a bit treacherous on headphones as the volume really adds up towards the end!

I would not have been able to mix if that were that long as I was reflexively holding my breath with the buildup. I stopped the buildup when I ran out of air.

2001 is a movie that still works so well. The sense of alienness, infinite scale, the use of intense music. It really is a masterpiece.

It might be the end of the Spring that is still a bit unstable and reverting to Winter weathers and screwing up with our neurons. Also I totally agree, just gotta follow the muse. For weekly tracks, I have stopped trying to dictate where a track would go, I just try to grab whatever appears and follow it down the rabbit hole.

For the ending, i hesitated adding some more piano lines but in a way it's better without piano - if the piano was the humans in this strange encounter, then whatever happened next did not leave the humans behind.

Thank you for your comment!
I did not know of Blood Incantation and am listening to them now. I like the drone buildup and this sounds indeed like from a similar state of mind. Very cool find! thank you for introducing them!

Thank you for your very nice comment!
Interestingly, a lot of the stair steps increase in layers in the same voice sample used in Pharlight and I keep adding a higher note on a regular basis. I really love how Pharlight is able to keep a sample, depitch or uppitch it brutally and yet keep it interesting. So the wall of sound is basically a huge chord of the same vocal sample at very different pitches, like what they did on the music of Arrival.
I agree with your comment about cutting a movie to the music rather than the opposite! I also love soundtracks that really go all the way, like what Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross did on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Your tracks are always very inspiring and are pure magic to me as I don't really know how to use hardware or even how to create my own synth patches. I just use presest to people who use hardware in the creative, universe creating way you do it, are wizards to me. Thank you for listening!

Ah, thanks a heap!  Appreciated.

If you have the time or interest, a great way to learn is to pull apart a fave preset and try work out what everything is doing.  Allows you to customise really easily once you know what's going on and then on to creating your own.  I think that's where hardware wins somewhat though.  I find creating sounds so much more inspiring on hardware than software.  I still use software but no where near as much.  I think a part of that is also that a lot of my hardware I create on doesn't have presets!  I don't have an option.  Haha.

I haven't seen that movie in ages.  My friend in California recently saw a film projection of it in a theater!  I need to rewatch it.

1:47 is bone chilling.  that is perfect.  not sure how you heard those pieces going together, because they do, but they seem completely unrelated.

Oh yea!!! This is the cyclopean one! I used this word in a song, I wasn't sure where I heard it but it was here.

This is a beautiful big buildup but we get eaten before we find out what's at the end of it! Luckily we have the rest of the kedbreak136 collection to satisfy our hunger for more...
