Cognitohazard (SCP Foundation - dark ambient mix)

[@DragonFireStrike]

I just like the fact that over 11,000 people clicked on a song literally called *Cognitohazard* There are some who won't know what that means, but some of us do. We would not survive in SCP.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

It's the appeal of dangerous situations

[@cybersearcher1041]

look i know im gonna die i may as well go out a fun way

[@brightplaysgames8760]

idk ..i was just Compelled to click on it , somthing felt safe

[@balazstoth3734]

I mean, if our resistance is high enough.

[@sircarlos3707]

i just read SCP and clicked...

[@exnomer5002]

This entire soundtrack is actually fucking amazing.

[@Lvcuna]

I love how SCP-3955 actually has the eight notes as the bassline. Pretty clever!

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

Music SCP's tend to be the easiest to cover because most of the composition work is done. Then it's just picking the right sounds to do the article justice!

[@Lvcuna]

@@EdwardIkorMusic it’s great seriously! I love this album and the rest of your work. Keep it up! :)

End of Torment is probably the best piece of somber ambient music I've heard in quite a while. And I have you to thank for creating it and The Exploring Series to thank for introducing me to your work.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

Thank you so much for you comment. End of Torment is actually my favourite track off this album. When I added the cello at the end to it, I immediately said : "yes, this is all it needs".

[@lex2749]

Its all fun and games until 4231 starts playing and I become hyperaware of my own shadow hehehe. In all seriousness, the SCP community keeps taking my breath away with the amount of creators that share their talent and hard work, making this massive work of fiction all the more rich, just like you :)

Holy shit, I was reading SCP-3001 while listening to this and right as he mentioned it felt like he was swimming, the liquid sound effects in the song kicked in.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

That's some calculated reading!

[@lucicaelestis386]

I love the SCP universe and the fact there is a soundtrack dedicated to it is a dream come true!! This is fucking awesome, best cognitohazard ever! Incredible vibes and feelings! The O5 council unanimously approves...! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bless you!

[@rainbowflameproductions7121]

not even a minute in and it feels like an actual cognitohazard, think ive found my new favorite soundtrack.

[@gamerpines7069]

These tracks are not only fantastic to listen to. But when you listen to the tracks while reading the articles they're based on. It really gives them a whole different feel. Though I think it may be obvious that you were going for that feel. Still, incredible work nonetheless.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

I mostly make my SCP tracks with the mood of how I remember feeling after/while reading the article, I guess it really translated well into these in particular. There's a mot more melancholy in this album that in my other SCP albums that focus more on the dread of living in a world with incomprehensible monsters. Maybe that's why Cognitohazard connects more with the people who listen to it. Thank you for being one of those!

[@nhatquangophu1759]

Thank you for this. Now i have smth to read SCP with and sleep with.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

It's precisely what this mix was made for! :)

[@nerium4016]

This is in my music folder now for my pathfinder game's ancient ruin explorations.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

[@diegocarmona430]

You should really put ot on SoundCloud or other music streaming sites because this is amazing

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

All my music is available on Spotify, Deezer and all those shenanigans (except SoundCloud, I don't really agree with their business model). There's a pinned comment for the Spotify link on this video and you can find a link to all my socials in the description! Your support means the world to me!

[@taux2019]

The music takes me back to the time when I played Spore first time... The ambient of both games and the ambient from the video are somewhat similar to each other I like it!

[@nickytats39]

Why I willingly clicked on something called cognitohazard knowing what that is I have no clue

This music is really good and like knocks me out if I'm struggling to sleep so for the past 2 nights I've been falling asleep nice and quick. I'd be surprised if one night I struggle to fall asleep so much I'd hear the whole thing.

[@thenerd571]

Beautiful

[@moosemodifire]

What maniac thinks of these songs as SCP Ambient Themes, this stuff sounds straight out of an RPG game

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

It's all about interpretation, especially with sounds as vague as ambient. I slammed this playlist for a mate while he was playing Nubnautica and he thought it could be a part of the game's OST (man I wish).

[@eboranshard6220]

So many rpg songs are dark ambient esk music ! How many dark dungeons and cursed lands have we traveled through in the many rpgs that we have played all with a good dark ambient musical piece ! Its not out of an RPG game since RPG games employ massive bands to play such songs composed by a proper music writer and etc in anycase !

[@moosemodifire]

I was looking for ambient mixes for SCP article readings, and out of pure luck ran into this vid. It's perfect for reading about that darn Foundation and their crazy antics!

[@FarmerDingus]

I posted a comment a year ago and I just have to say i've been listening to this soundtrack every single night. I get so tired when I play this because my brain associates it with sleep. I'm not joking. This soundtrack is the gateway to my inner world. And I'm so glad I discovered it.

[@Meepminko]

I love this a lot, it's been my favourite since it's release. Thank you Edward!

[@mlp_firewind8129]

You know part of me kind of wishes these were more, they are intended to be background ambiance but it would be nice to see on theme songs based on these places on events. But I think the only reason I want that is because what we have here is so mind blowing that all I can do is want more.

[@mlp_firewind8129]

Like, I know a lot of these scps and their mood is captured so perfectly here. Some of it haunting, some of it beautiful, all of it amazing.

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

Yeah I understand how you feel. To be honest I'm surprised I managed to make this many tracks for this album. For the more "elaborate" tracks, it's just really hard to find the right balance in mood without the track becoming a caricature of the SCP (which is something I want to avoid). I'll take it as a compliment that this album leaves people wanting more. thank you for listening and subscribing for that matter :)

[@mlp_firewind8129]

@@EdwardIkorMusic yeah, on one level I would like to see them with more unique instruments and sound scapes but I also thing the subtlety works and does manage to capture the different themes of the different stories. There is also definitely such a thing as to much in that regard.

[@garybrown2039]

Nice work. The start of this kind of reminds me of silent hill background music .

[@Miliradian]

At the end of a Vsauce video about sending messages to aliens, i heard a song that reminded me of this. I came back here and checked the old comment i made and realised it was only 10 months ago, time flies. Though i have changed alot in 10 months, I have improved my grammar and have matured more. Even though it was 10 months ago, it feels nostalgic as if the 10 months were 10 years. Thank you for this masterpiece, Edward.

I am the arm that shall not yield
In tempest, I stand fast
A legend, I will last I will not fade I am the wand, I am the flame
I am the rod for truths untamed
In knowledge, I will trust
Invoked, I burn the dust I will not fade I am the knife, I am the shade
I am the hunter, not the prey
In whispers, I have tread
By infamy, I spread I will not fade I am the rite, I am the scales
I am the patience which prevails
In honour, I abide
With faith, I turn the tide I will not fade We the sentries, we the wall
We the final card to fall
Through toil, we shall gain
Through blood, we shall remain We will not fail

[@monapump2635]

for " atonement - a way out (SCP-001)" did you have a specific 001 entry this is based off of?

[@EdwardIkorMusic]

So I can't really remember which 001 article it's based off but I know it's one in particular. I seem to remember that the Foundation was worried other Foundations in other universes went to see an SCP (I don't recall which one) who offered the Foundation "a way out", by destroying all other universes. Something like that. It's all fuzzy.
