DARK FOREST Ambience and Music - sounds of dark misty forest with ambient music

✒ Go into the forest he said... it will be easy he said.... Damnit Rakeesh!
As I pull his limp body under yet another fallen tree, I look up and the trees look back. The sun is still out so I need not fear them yet but I know that come nightfall those same, peaceful trees, will come for us again. They do not like strangers tramping through their land...
My back screams at me to stop, my feet beg me to rest but I cannot.. not yet. It's not far now.. the edge of this god's forsaken place.
Above me, the trees creak and groan.. straining to stretch their limbs down towards us... I dare not look up.

Martia: I create ambiences with original music. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I sometimes venture into sci-fi, horror, history, or plain (but beautiful) natural settings.
I am heavily inspired by books, as I am a total bookworm, by PC games and DnD which my husband loves and talks about. I love long cross-country hikes, that feel like a huge adventure and you can see it in the number of traveling ambiences I produce 😀
You are at the right place if you are looking for one of these: ambient music for reading, ambient music for work, ambient music for sleep, ambient music for studying, ambient music for relaxation and ambient music for RPG, background music for studying, background music for reading, background music for working, background music for writing, or background music for DnD.

Hi! Thank you for all your amazing comments! As a few of you asked about it, I uploaded DARK FOREST on other platforms. Unfortunately, I couldn't upload it as is, it had to be changed a little bit and also made shorter. I hope you will like it :) A version of this ambience is now available on: Apple Music/iTunes: music.apple.com/us/album/dark-forest-ep/1582306641?uo=4&app=itunes Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/0nw1pVVlrB0IgEp9eGr5yw Also, there were some questions about using this ambience in your own projects. If you have any questions regarding that, please contact me via email (in the information section of the channel).

I know you probably dont get many comments like this but im a depressed man in early 20s and listening to this music while smoking a joint with an incence lit and thinking about nature really helps me stay alive

[@helenbiddell4357]

I too have had depression since I was seventeen, I am now fifty six. Smoking pot relaxes me, and it helps me sleep. I had twenty five years of insomnia, and after giving up on regular medications (too many side effects), I now have it most nights. I live in Victoria Australia, where to grow, sell or possess marijuana is still illegal. Eventually our government will see the light on the many benefits of cannabis, and will most likely tax it. But at least people will have the freedom to use it for medicinal purposes, or just to relax. As for this beautiful music, I am a writer of science fiction /fantasy books, and I can see all my wonderful worlds etc… peace be to you, Blessings. :)

Today, im fairly well known as Corvus, im woth a renegade paladin group, but im mostly on my own, travelling these dark and mystic landscapes, this dark forest gives me chills, i feel like im being watched by the trees. well i have to continue walking, not much further anymore and i can set up a safe camp outside this damned forest. i hope this shadowsteel blade is what it's supposed to be, the legendary Ravenblade. this will help me alot. im Corvus. the last Ancient warrior."
