SOMETHING'S THERE | Dark Ambient Exploration: 11 | Fear and Claustrophobia | ASM | Hydrasynth Deluxe

After venturing into 'A PASSAGEWAY', most of the daylight has disappeared. You've gone too far. Claustrophobia creeping stronger. A musky smell and each footstep feels increasingly vulnerable, with arms stretched out searching... Your hairs stand on end as a wave of fear shoots up your back and across your scalp. There's a sudden awareness... you're not alone.
This week is my second Hydrasynth performance, and follows on from last week. I chose to add some more informational text to this video. I hope it benefits some fellow music lovers, and I hope it doesn't distract too much from the visual vibe.
Unfortunately during filming this batch of videos I forgot to lock the iPhone camera focus... and as a result, the focus keeps trying to auto correct. I'm sorry for this oversight and I'll make sure I lock it in future filming sessions.
I hope you enjoy this performance and please let me know what vibes you got from it... if any ;-)
All Hydrasynth effects are onboard.
I’m continuing to push the growth of my channel, and I'm making dark ambient content which is in its own playlist; and also making mellow ambient content for the more relaxed and lighter journeys, within its own playlist as well.
We may approach other crossroads of musical directional options later along the way, which I can explore at that point… But for now, its in and out of the darkness and the light 😊
🙏🏻 I thank you very much for listening to my music and I'm very grateful for your comments 📣, views 🫵👀 and likes ❤️👍. These all really help me to grow my channel and keep my motivation flowing!

great stuff Rick! very sinister and foreboding, almost cinematic

[@rickhopkinson]

Thanks very much Jim! 🙏🏻 I’m very glad you like it and thanks for watching … I hope you’ll like the videos coming this week and next 😃

[@maltas22]

In the desolate confines of my abode, a haunting unease persists, an oppressive specter casting a stygian pall over the silence, a malevolent symphony of whispers and elusive movements, something's undeniably there, a solitary essence slithering through the forsaken shadows, leaving a frigid touch upon the isolated recesses of my consciousness. Well done Rick!

[@rickhopkinson]

Awesome Maltas! Once again thank you so much for your support and ace perspective... You're truly great with your vision. I'm very pleased you enjoyed this one too 🙂🙏

[@visioncodex3507]

Nice. 😁 Good music and presentation. I appreciate you talking the listener through the philosophy behind the piece.

[@rickhopkinson]

Thank you very much I really appreciate that! 🙂🙏 I'm glad you appreciated the wording I included too... Something I will continue with but making sure it's not overdone. Thanks mate.

[@mauriziofaggion]

Rick! I really like the minimalism of this track!

[@rickhopkinson]

Maurizio!!! 😃 Thank you very much mate... Yes a quite sparse solo performance with lots of depth and vibe... and as one of my good friends has said its "comfortably dark"... 🙂 I agree... but it's soon time for "dark and unsettling" I think 🤔😉

[@AmbientSound7]

Another cool patch with your Hydrostnth! Very dark! 😮

[@rickhopkinson]

Thank you Brad! 🙏🏻 glad you like it. Yeah it’s a step dark is this one I agree 👌 thanks for watching mate 😃

[@Kevrill]

Suspenseful vibes coming from this one bro. Defo another one to showcase for your future movie soundtrack collection. Loving it matey well done :)

[@rickhopkinson]

Thanks a lot bro 🙏🏻👍 oh I hope that movie score commission comes… I’ll fall off my chair while shouting Yes! 🤣

[@DisciplinedCommotion]

you know what you are doing with this dark ambient stuff. The focus thing just adds atmosphere to the piece.

[@rickhopkinson]

Oh mate thank you very much for that, I’m glad you think so 🙏🏻👍💪. I’m doing my best and enjoying the process that’s for sure… Haha I assumed the focus issue would annoy, maybe not so much. It annoyed me 🤣 Thanks for watching it mate, I’ll have a catch up on your channel too. Have you ever done any drone based stuff on your Odyssey? The Odyssey’s Oscillators sound so crisp!

[@DisciplinedCommotion]

@@rickhopkinson your welcome, no I haven't done any drone based stuff on the Odyssey. :)

[@rickhopkinson]

@@DisciplinedCommotion RuFo music got my attention with the Odyssey last year and I was in two minds about the Odyssey or the 2600… the tone of it sounded good in his video here I thought… kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfEZ36cZpaWh8Usi=zNx_dbzuwjXRSwzq

[@K-ORA]

😎👽🤘 Very cool dude

[@rickhopkinson]

Thank you very much mate! 🙏💪😄 Great to see your message just before heading to bed after a editing session... You support is much appreciated as always 👌 I'm going to catch up on some of your videos 🙂

[@K-ORA]

@@rickhopkinson Right on! I see your new synth is sounding good for you 🖤🤘🏽

[@rickhopkinson]

@@K-ORA Oh mate it is indeed… it’s a right bloody beast… lots of deep sound design to jump into and I’m very grateful for it. On a mission into the dark… 🤔😂

[@K-ORA]

@@rickhopkinson Great to hear man 🖤🤘🏽

[@L0g1nSequence]

Will we get more low frequency stuff like this in the future?

[@rickhopkinson]

Hi Sam 😊 Yes definitely… I’m also going to be including Solfeggio frequencies and perhaps Binaural too 🙏🏻

[@L0g1nSequence]

@@rickhopkinson I always find solfeggio frequency’s super relaxing and helpful especially at the low/mid range never been a big fan of anything to high

[@rickhopkinson]

@@L0g1nSequence Hi Sam, ah ok well yeah I think I’d agree with you to some degree depending on what tones were used… I bought a 174hz tuning fork which is one of the lowest, if not the lowest Solfeggio frequency… it’s very interesting especially sounding it in and around your body/aura. At some point later when funds allow, I’d like to get a pair of binaural mics placed in a forward position a head width apart to simulate our hearing, and get field recording! 😃… p.s. not long until this week’s Hydra & 2600 video. ☀️😜
