When I was in the army, we were stationed on an outpost by the Barents sea in the northern most part of Norway, and this music invoke the feelings I had in that desolate place. No people, no houses, hardly any plants or animals. The mountains just suddenly terminate by the water, and from there its all just a vast expanse of ocean, snow and ice merging into infinite white nothingness.

(this ! name 😆) and then the next night came here on my own, cuz like I said we apparently both like this ......., well then like I said got stuck on yer name haha, now I'm smart enough to know that it could have been the people illegally in charge of my entire life like a captor would a hostage, or slave, and yes I am that fr no lie (no exaggerating)hince the recent symptoms haha, well anyways I know it could been them yes, freezing my phone up , (it still happens every day) but regardless of chance ? or a narc wanting to be in control of there ring lol! regardless....it's still interesting to me haha.

[@barnosho1611]

I think this might actually be affecting me subconciously. As soon as I turn it off, I start feeling worse again. It's not like listening to regular music. When I do that, my mind is still racing through thoughts and I don't actually feel better, I'm just trying to get my brain to release those sweet chemicals as a reward for hearing a good melody to distract myself. This is very different, it actually powers the mind instead of cluttering it. I'm not kidding, I can actually feel this inner bliss in my body.

it's like standing in a place watching the transcendental sky...warm wind softly touches your skin...the song of the grass....solitude....and there, watching the sky, you are there with the universe. This is the supreme feeling.

Yes, I have experienced what exactly what you just described, in the mountains in sardinia, and I was drunk, and it was night, sky was full of stars, felt like the gods were watching me or something, very euphoric.

[@blawndejeezus]

Upon hearing this for the first time, i was drawn into it instantly. I can't stop listening to it. It gives me an apocalyptic type of feeling. Like when all hell is breaking loose and you've done something you've never done before, to defend yourself or something like that, but after doing said activity, you're lost in your own thoughts and the world around you goes quiet and this plays in your head. This has honestly pushed me into wanting to work on a novel I've had in mind for a while now. Thank you my good sir, for this beautiful creation ❤️

[@AncientCampfire]

I discovered this video last year, thought it was cool. I've been listening to this almost every night for months. It's flawless. I discovered a great book because of it, one of my favorite podcasts, and I'm still not tired of it.

[@sceleratis3578]

Out of every piece of media i've ever consumed this is the only one thats gotten me to comprehend what true cosmic horror is like. Less so horror, more sheer mystery. Humanity's the only one cognizant of this mystery and we try to solve it. But like babies without parents we just got plopped into this world and are endlessly lost trying to figure it out. Gain knowledge or attach meaning. But the cliffs and the stars and such don't change. They always remain arcane and mysterious, bigger and beyond us. This photo is just an example of that - these capable men traveling to God knows where and seeing god knows what. Makes me think lovecraft's Old Gods arent monsters, but simply stars and black holes. No wonder we came up with angels and demons. Nice song.

[@jonfoster8063]

[@CrookedTooth616]

I have listened to this piece of music four or five times in the past two days. Out of all of your videos on this channel, this is my favorite. The image that accompanies this track is excellent as well. It brings to mind the book ‘The Terror’ by Dan Simmons or even the “Dyatlov Pass Incident “. ✌🏻✊🏻🙏🏻

[@IronCthulhuApocalypse]

Glad you like it. I think this is definitely my most popular individual song.

[@MatHoy1979]

I've listened to so many kinds of different sounds to relax. Wind, rain, blizzards (arctic, one of my favorite) spacecraft cabins, binaural sounds.... But that one, with that amazing picture of the old expedition to Elephant Island, that one... OMG, my #1 choice so far. Thank you

[@sonnypemberton7011]

[@sophiainain9449]

I always thought Thomas Köner (and his peers) should have put binaural beats under his atmospheres and here today I find what I wanted 20 years ago. Thanks!

[@sophiainain9449]

After reading comments I really want to recommend the above artist THOMAS KÖNER. Tomas did these ambients first and way colder/bleaker -just without the binaurals...

[@knoxmetalhead]

For years, this has been my go to track for concentrating on tasks at work and helping keep a relaxed mind when dealing with difficult customers and clients. Thank you for the ambience and helping a stressful mind stay calm.

[@AncientCampfire]

Strongly reminiscent of the dark, minimal side of Biosphere. I'm enchanted by this.

[@andruscorpis378]

[@IrishCoffeee]

Am I the only one who associates something positive with this song instead of loneliness? It relaxes me, invites me to dream, and forces me to confront myself. I find myself standing in an endless void where no one can disturb me-no distractions, no people, no tasks-just me in my purest form. It’s a very beautiful feeling. ✨

[@amazinghuppifluppi359]

This was one of the very first Dark Ambient pieces I heard on YT and it is still my favourite.

[@vexivoia8063]

This one really stirs emotions up in me; I find myself intermittently tearing up for what seems to be no reason at all. I like it when certain pieces do that. The 4hz Theta binaural position is a special one to me. It assists in activating and influencing a lot of things, notably "vision", be it physical sight or fantasies of the dreaming mind. It is the storehouse for creative inspiration, as well as the repository for memories, emotions, and sensations. Wild stuff, indeed. The accompanying progressions within the misty musical composition is what I would personally attribute to the cause of my leaping overboard, into the obscure pools of subconscious emotional recollection. Sometimes, the initial vessel of transportation is not enough [4hz binaural frequency] . Everything requires something that provides some form of energy in order for things to properly operate. In this case, it would be ICA's simple, yet very effective artistic touch of what I would consider musical genius, and I believe it deserves more recognition and praise. Thanks for the worthy track, ICA; to your past, present, and future selves: may free will be with you and guide you to tranquility.

[@sonnypemberton7011]

Well put.

As for me, the photo reminds me the actual book I am reading right now, one novel from Lovecraft : At The Mountains of Madness. By the way, I feel like the movie The Thing is inspired from this novel. A very good story.

[@brooksavage3732]

Joe Joe --- omg my mother took me to see the THING when it came out in theatre, I was very young, and I still remember details vividly about this movie mentioned.

[@SterileNeutrino]

After that read Charles Stross' take on a sequel, "A Colder War", which is stylistically very different but immense fun in particular due to appearance of real-world players-

[@kesterfae5447]

The Thing was based on a book called "Who Goes There". But similar in tone.

[@aerothelich2023]

I love Antarctica as a setting for any kind of horror and "At the mountains of madness" perfectly captures the essence of why i love it so much. The scene when they fly over the mountain tops gives me chills. I can see those mountains before me. Ages old white gigants nothing but white empty nothingness everywhere and you are flying through it. This feeling of insignificance is so overwhelming that it completly swallows me and it makes me wish to be there and fly over the snowy mountains and take a look at this portal to a world that seems so out of place in our modern times... so mysterious... so outright horrifying

[@sobreaver]

Lovecraft has inspired a lot of dark and horror to a lot of people in the cinema, music and other art, he had a keen ability to describe and make you see the undescribeable, he was a master of his art.

Sorry for my English. I just found this, and honestly, I want to thank whoever who's behind this. This is simply beautiful and overwhelming. I've just write a little story about this piece and this photo while listening to it, obviously. I have never in my life experience a moment of inspiration like this one, so thank you, I was trapped in a hole of desperation because I couldn't write anything, I didn't found the inspiration, but this piece took me out of it. I hope whoever who's reading this can understand what I'm trying to say, I can't find the appropriate words in my language so in English it may sounds like a bunch of nonsense words. Have a great day.
