The mist hung heavy, saturated, through the thick hidden wood. Twilight saturated every surface like a caress, and a sense of dread and foreboding clung to the air, creeping up my spine like long fingers of ice. My heart and breathing came rhythmically....Hidden in the shadow, I was invisible, apart from the steady mechanical thrum....like a magnetic frequency oscillating through the air, that found its way to my ears. The shadows lengthened. The moon pierced the clouds. And there it loomed in front of me, cold concrete washed in silver gray, resilient and impenetrable. How had it been here for decades, without being discovered? The sound of the flutter of moths mingled with the low mechanical, and electrical hum....hypnotized by the ebbing and flickering of ominous red lights of the reinforced entry way. To anyone else, this may have only appeared to be a forgotten bunker....but it was a fortress, guarding its secrets like an iron fist, with impenetrable walls. I knew the horrors that lay within, in the dark....the foul creatures and abominations which were never meant to exist. The genetic experiments of a waking nightmare..... ....a waking nightmare of wheezing screams, eyes in the dark, the sound of nails over concrete.... I alone had the key. I knew how to hunt this demon....The time had come.

Love the sounds. Now I have to go back and watch all 4 seasons of Stranger Things...

[@AmbientAlcove]

The Stranger X-Files. This is too good! :)

[@tristanemery8748]

Listened to this while reading through Simon Stålenhag's "The Labyrinth" - absolutely perfect soundtrack for the desolate landscapes and harrowing themes present in the book. Definitely well worth a read, and the art is simply sublime. Thank you for making such a brilliant piece of music that so well encapsulates that feeling of forboding and darkness.

One of the top secret facilities in south central Siberia where they conducted the Soviet ESP research of the early 1950s.

Liam stood breathless before the building covered in decades of moss and mold. Nothing was supposed to be out here so deep into the forest, yet here was some facility with the lights still on. He'd played, explored, and hunted in these woods his entire life. But this time something stalked him. Pursued him. Led him. That last realization sent a cold glassy chill down his spine. He could see nothing around but the silence of the trees and the gathering of the mist, but he knew he was being watched. He knew he was cornered. Despite the rifle in his hands, he felt helpless as the hairs on his hands stood and made its way up his neck. He turned and passed through the threshold of the building. What else could he have done?

Dogman??

[@mikeabbot4616]

That's a dramatic way of saying he went to his mother-in-law's.

[@betulaobscura]

Very cool!

[@martinkraegel7965]

Nice, very nice.

[@SexGiantStudio]

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Huh? when was this built in my forest? Well, better check it out.

[@fallintotofuIchipotle4000]

If there's ever a zombie attack... (eat the good looking one)!

[@hannaclutterbuck-cook5595]

Is that the TARDIS inside those doors? Doctor? Is that you?

[@LordKoehler]

SInistrous, dark, dismal, disquieting and bleak soundscape.

[@georgy5844]

Hey man! I love your work! Is there any chance these tracks will be uploaded to spotify? I just get so entranced listening to this. Hearing it when I'm on the road would be perfect. Keep it up!

[@ArmchairAmbience]

Thanks! Maybe at some point, as far as I can tell I would need to pay to get them on Spotify but its on the list of things to figure out

[@theguyshetellsunottoworryabout]

Sounds like the comeback of an old vilain to Gotham city

[@jug01]

Great music!! I'd love to use it as soundtrack for some realistic tactical gameplay. Can I have your kind permission? Of course, all due credits will apply. Best,

The audio is registered with AdRev so you may not be able to monetize...generally I don't allow re-use as the copyright issues get complicated

[@jug01]

@@ArmchairAmbience ok, fair enough. Thanks for your time!

[@philosophiaentis5612]

Where can I find the lossless WAV files?

[@ArmchairAmbience]

I am working on that...any ideas on where I can post hour long wav / flac files? Bandcamp won't take files that big

[@chilledtea6614]

8 pages? 8pages of what? SLENDERMAN'S DIARY?! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@remingtonsteele3581]
