[@emiw77]

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Let Desiderata show you THE WAY...

Assuming it is that far after.

We would not think they are warning us of their dead world and to keep away from it. They might even try to stop us from going there. But we would not get it, continue to the evil world, and not know the terrible things that remain there, that killed all other life.

[@CrimsonOptics]

I nearly committed suicide in 2017. The years leading up to it were some of the worst in my life, and I was at my lowest mentally. I lived alone and the isolation didn't really help those feelings of seething self hatred and deep bouts of depression. Everyone at my work noticed, but none seemed to care. I found my way out of it by surrounding myself with a better environment and people. I moved out of my shitty apartment to live close to family and friends, I even got a girlfriend that I've been dating for 3 years now. If I didn't have that support network and get out of the situation I was in, I probably wouldn't even be able to process when my father passed in 2018. Sometimes It really is just surrounding yourself with better people and places. You're not alone, and I care about you, however little that may seem. I hope you're doing ok

@Bleed The Machines Few things of the dark are worth sharing. Nothing but the ignoble secrets of humanity and forgotten failures...nothing we could not deduce by looking at human nature, nothing anyone should want to find. Else, are things that should not be sought for they are harmful and evil only. Seek the Light of Lights. Then you will know where the gems of life are and how to see them clearly. God bless you. Through our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Who is the Light and Salvation of All the World. Amen. If you want to find light, seek light. There is much darkness in darkness. (obviously) So if you are going to venture into the dark, bring light so you can see clearly.

Too long we scoured amongst the stars. For too long we gazed with fascination and eagerness from glint to twinkling glint. When we finally mastered our engines and mustered our strengths to fling ourselves with mighty distress into the deepness of the cosmos, too long did we spend poring over every dune and under every stone and in every breath of foreign wind. Too long did we search. For LIFE. How we clamoured for that marvellous, calamitous spark. A deluge of delight awaited us just around every corner of every world, ever elusive, but ever taunting. How we mourned every stillborn world, every orb of stone casting themselves in wide arcs around their lonely suns. How we grieved as if it were our own children we arrived to find absent in those blustery, cold plains of desolation. With every world we swept, our hearts faded of hope a little more. Too long it was before we finally realised. There was already life here. And we killed it. EARTH.

"Life has been proven to exist beyond the earth, and this life was like us. 9 billion years have passed before the dawn of the Earth, it is a possibility we are in the age of glory, when organisms with minds to create have begun to shape their existence. However we might have been born past that epoch. perhaps that time of glory has ended long ago, and these millions of civilizations have succumbed to the great destroyer, and silence persists. I see a trillion rusting cities on foreign shores. I see a trillion derelects that outlived their fathers. I see a trillion dying races on long dead worlds. In the sands of Mars I see the sands of time, in those ruins a telling of the future and a history of the past. I am no longer human like the people that greet me upon my return, I see past our veil and see the stars beyond them. We are very slowly becoming alone."

Well said. The universe is estimated to be 14 billion years old. If there are other civilizations out there in the galaxy that managed to not destroy themselves and reach the space age, the odds of encountering an alien civilization that exists at the same time as us in our reachable neighborhood of space seems highly unlikely. Given the vastness of the universe, there almost certainly is (or was, or will be) other forms of intelligent life out there somewhere. But the likelihood that we will ever cross paths is extremely slim.

Music is a language that everyone understands. Thus, music is a huge language base that everyone can understand without translation.

While we do have nearly all of human knowledge at our fingertips, we also have nearly all misinformation created in a couple of button presses.

There really is almost anything on the internet for anyone, and if there isn’t then someone will just create it themself.

I saw that people liked this story that I wrote. It had just been a quick thing that I wrote while doing homework to vent more than anything else. But you guys saying you liked it has motivated me to make a revised version. Enjoy: Void, a short story by Eris Niles She had run the calculations many times. First on the ship's computers, but as those deteriorated and power needed to be diverted she had written the equations out on paper. But once that ran out she scratched them into the walls. But the result was always the same. There was no way in physical possibility that she could muster enough power to get the wrecked freighter to get to even the edge of chartered space. No matter what was cut, or where the power was diverted, she would be far into the depths of the unknown by the day that the oxygen recycler ran through its last filters. That day was today. She got up from the cold dark hold of the ship. All power that would be in lighting was diverted to keeping the oxygen running and the engines going. The temperature was set to the minimum survivable heating, no amounts of extra clothes or makeshift ponchos in the form of mutilated bedsheets could keep the chill of the void away. She walked to what was left of the common area. Once well lit, it was now only illuminated by the impossibly distant stars. The screens of the computers were all as dead as the sky outside the window. The ground littered with papers, mathematical proofs of her demise. She wished that she could have something to eat before she embarked on the task she was about to do, but even after diligent rationing, the food had run dry a few days ago. After a long breath, treasuring the stale oxygen she must have breathed hundreds of times before, she entered the airlock and put on the spacesuit inside. It had once been an orange color but 100+ hours of use beyond its intended lifespan had rendered it bleached to a light brown. The suit was worn and threadbare like the patched tatters of a jumpsuit that hung over her half starved frame. She had gone outside almost everyday when she believed the ship could be fixed. That was months ago. She had long since given up hope. Instead she stepped out into the nothing with no purpose. Even after having stepped out of hatches like this hundreds of times, the thrill of loosing all sense of up and down was just as electrifying as the first time. The majesty of the deep sky, the great black expanse in all of its terrifying, cold, glory made her stop short and marvel for a few seconds. Then she remembered what she came here to do. With a deep breath she disengaged the tether. Ignoring the computer’s screams of protest, the clamps let go and she saw the ship, or what was left of it, fly out of view in a matter of seconds. Finally, alone with only the cosmos for its uncaring company, she floated for 10, 30, 60, minutes. Then the void sang her to sleep, the soothing touch of the great empty, the lullaby of suffocation. Eventually she rested, carbon dioxide in her lungs, and the stars reflected in her wide, awed eyes.

Engineers Log: Deago-8. Stardate: 252127.2. Distance to Home: 21472 Light Years. ETA: 350 Years. Crew: 402. HMS Northumbria passed too close to a solar flare. Drift charts didn't expect gravimetric disturbances. Port energy collectors were burnt out during the flare-up; had to replace the wiring with some from the water reclamation system. This has resulted in several additional cryogenic pods having to be recycled, including several crew members. I've taken the least useful crewmembers in for harvesting; as per executive orders, and have disassembled their pods. Repairs are ongoing. Addendum: Stardate 252128.9. Distance to Home 21422 Light Years. Crew: 395. The ship is quiet today. The cryonics systems were able to stabilize the water reclamation system, and the ship is back on course. I've taken the liberty of growing my replacement; my hands, either from age or from work, are not as accurate anymore. I-I find my mind drifting now.... Sometimes, I can still see the captain, reassuring me; or is it a past me... 900 crew... off to colonize the stars. To find a new home for our sick planet. A planet I have never seen. A planet that only comes to me in dreams. I wonder if my replacement will dream of it, too.

The crewmember had been dead for ten years and parts of her flesh were sucked into the filtration system. Will need to diagnose main monitoring sensor for any further cryo pod inaccuracies. Crewmember unsuitable for harvesting, cryo pod will be scavenged for components. Air filtration filters are scheduled to be replaced, drone units are still functioning at 89% efficiency. Addendum: Stardate 2521200.6. Distance to Home: 21380 Light Years. ETA: 349 Years. Crew 394. Deago-9 is gestating. I've configured all the holotapes I could into his cryo pod. I'm continuing to record replacement tapes for his journey, however, it is difficult. My mind fogs occasionally... and it makes recalling addendums harder. Priority is now being set to drone command. These... friends... they are the lifeblood of this ship now. I recall... maintenance crews and shift duties... however, I have never spoken a command to anyone. Drones do not need to hear to understand. They whirl and clank and crawl and jump. Some even sit by my feet now and ensure my consoles are operating and that I do not have trouble walking. It's almost as if... they are alive now... like Northumbria herself is assisting me in keeping her alive. We're scheduled to pass by another planet soon.

Scanner masts have jammed when being retracted, resulted in a 6 month delay in returning to normal course. Engaged engines for 52 seconds to create a slingshot vector to make up for lost time. Drones are being prioritized for mast maintenance and power relays. Engines have not been engaged for 30 years, and require additional maintenance. Replacement Deago, Deago-9 is ready for rapid growth; will transfer command codes and provide training once he is cognizant. Addendum: Stardate 252306.1. Distance to Home: 21152 Light Years. ETA: 348 Years. Crew: 394. I've never had a son; though I have memories of one. Clide... I still remember his fourth birthday, though that memory is not mine... I still hold onto it dearly when I look at my replacement. Nine will serve Northumbria well, as I have. I had hoped to teach Nine how to play the flute... as was taught to me... however, the shaking in my hands is getting worse. I require drone presence during most of my on-duty hours now... Nine will learn, though... that much is certain. I will try something new and assign him a personal drone to assist him. I think... I'll call it Clide...

I'd love a "Before the War" mix. The setting could be that of a soldier, nervously scouting a tree line from their trench, waiting for the inevitable enemy charge. The theme could be pure, grim, visceral dread. Dread of what's to come, dread of what's lurking in those woods.

Makes me imagine being the last human , my home is in orbit around a blackhole , harvesting its rotational energy as all the stars blinked out many , many Generations before i was born. The colony had fallen into a deep despair and come to the conclusion that 'everything has its time' and ours should of passed with the light. Im all alone now , an old man , the last witness that humanity ever existed. As i turn off the power systems and prepare for the big sleep i look out of the viewer into our so called savior , our dark companion ever present , always whispering to us , inviting us into her cold embrace and i feel the pull of the abyss, terrifying yet also comforting and i know eveything is the way it should be , we did ok and we deserve our rest. I program the navigation systems to use the last of our energy altering our course so the colony will fall into the black hole ....Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust...... i take my seat on the observation deck , the last human at the end of all things.

Thank you Cryo Chamber. One of the best things about buying music from Cryo is being able to sample the albums on- line first. Like this nice MIX of all these ambient tracks - this is sweet! When you find one you love... I urge you to buy an analog CD version from Cryo Chamber too. If you don't y0u are missing out. When you receive a digital version PLUS an analog CD version it's a whole-nother experience. I cannot express how happy I am to be collecting CRYO CHAMBER's CD albums - the are BEAUTIFUL! Really impressive artwork. Impeccable graphic design on every thing I've purchased so far. They're so visually & physically intriguing I'm afraid to actually play the CD's as I don't want to mar them. (I usually play my digital copies, and just gaze lovingly at the albums.). I have worn some of the Albums themselves just from repeated opening and looking through them. See, most of the multiple CD sets come with amazing atmospheric insides, full liner notes, lots of art work, and such fantastic/poetic things - (as you might find in the Necronomicon - at least in all the Lovecraftian/Cthulhu inspired albums). I can tell as Cryo Chamber's work has matured each album has become more interestingly complex - that goes for the ambient music AND the liner notes. I'm glad to see that more sales has enable you to produce more creative albums. I believe that they actually went back to one of the first released Lovecraft albums; "Cthulhu" and created a more elaborate album. Cryo Chamber, did you? It's a single CD, but it has ten pages of heavy art-gallery type paper printed with an original Lovecraftian tale by Alistair Rennie. Several pages of art work by Simon Heath - who I believe is also the graphic designer who made the whole package. It was quite the surprise when I got it. Hope I haven't ruined the surprise for others. I just think potential buyers should know Cryo Chamber really seriously is making quality stuff. The Lovecraft themed albums ~ I believe I have them all... but I'm always hunting on-line for new Lovecraft creations. I wonder how many of Cryo Chamber's other themed works have such elaborate CD albums? ( guess I gotta' buy the other ones as well so I can find out) - Hmmm..."Songs for Dead Planets" This one is really amazing. The above art is by Simon Heath, so I can hope he did another amazing designed CD album for "Songs for Dead Planets" too. I'm not sure how much $ CRYO CHAMBER actually makes on their analog CD albums - they're pretty elaborate. I have a sneaking suspicion that the enormous artistic drive behind Cryo Chamber's work pushes their break-even line to a hair widths. Cryo Chamber THANK YOU for the amazing work. Simon Heath - your art RAWKS! Everything I've purchased so far is so inspirational! I work best listening to your ART. Old Man Parker/Artist~

Kind of reminds me of the idea that when low-mass stars finally cease nuclear activity, after trillions and trillions of years of life, they become cold black balls of impossibly dense iron. Listening to this music makes me think of being a traveller from another universe, arriving too late to see what was once our Sun, now a dead ball of iron not more than a dozen miles across, drifting endlessly in a black, lifeless universe.

Grinding down anything that wasn't mission critical for a few extra steel plates and motors. Switching from Antenna to Beacon, turning all the air vents to depressurize and gas tanks to stockpile, topping off my energy in the cockpit, and then entering a cryo pod knowing that I'm just being dramatic and should respawn back on the planet and try again with a better ship.

Man, it's just crazy you know. All of the things that have existed and all the things that will exist. Every person, every animal; every movie, every video game, every piece of art, every corner of the world. When I think about all of those things and the fact that I exist to appreciate them, my mind just cannot think of an answer. Why do I exist? Why does anything at all exist? What's real and what isn't? Why am I conscious of my own death? Too many questions for someone who is destined to never know the answers. The only thing that is certain is what we feel, interacting with others and with nature; maybe our only purpose is to feel and to hope that we find meaning in those feelings.

This whole list reminds me two things and make my eyes tear: The conception of "decomposing" and some verses of Wolfgang Borchert's poem "Sag Nein!" (Say No!) "In the bustling hazy harbour towns the big ships will fall silent as corpses against the dead deserted quay walls, their once shimmering bodies overgrown with seaweed and barnacles, smelling of graveyards and rotten fish. The trams will lie like senseless glass-eyed cages beside the twisted steel skeleton of wires and track. The sunny juicy vine will rot on decaying hillsides, rice will dry in the withered earth, potatoes will freeze in the unploughed land and cows will stick their death-still legs into the air like overturned chairs. In the fields beside rusted ploughs the corn will be flattened like a beaten army. Then the last human creature, with mangled entrails and infected lungs, will wander around, unanswered and lonely, under the poisonous glowing sun, among the immense mass graves and devastated cities. The last human creature, withered, mad, cursing, accusing - and the terrible accusation: WHY?"
