@magetaaaaaa it does sound kinda creepy to me as well, it's making me think of silent hill for some reason >_<
on another note, this ambient music sounds slowed down, I wonder how it would sound sped up a bit, maybe so that it goes from like 7 minutes long to like 2 or 3 minutes..
First off, this music is excellent. 2nd, in response to those who do not know what the big deal is, I have come to the conclusion in life that not all music is meant for everyone.I do not mean to come off as an elitist, however some music should not be listened to by some people because it takes away from the quality of the music lest it go mainstream.I was a major trance listener in the 90's, but by going mainstream the music went downhill for the masses Glad that ambient has not gone that way.
I'm sorry, but I find the idea that the amount of people who listen to something changes the quality of the music to be ludicrous and self indulgent. You do come off as elitist.
@mandaladouble when something goes 'mainstream', it doesn't necessarily degrade the music. Just means more people might be listening to 'good' music ~ 'good' being a very subjective term which means something different to every1. And the word 'mainstream' is basically irrelevant nowadays with every type of music being available at every1's fingertips via the net. the only reason why trance went 'downhill' is because of your own perception it did. to some1 else, it might be 'the next big thing'.
@mandaladouble you are right,and i must confess i am a bit elitist with my music. but as soon as something becomes popular the record companys leap on it and release any old crap. now adays they dont have that control,especialy with this kind of music. thankfully this music is not for everyone,therefore can not be ruined,hopefully.
The whole album is out of this world. I don't know what happened to Mr. Jenssen in Himalayas but it seems like he discovered a way to transfer listeners to another dimension, when I listen to this track I always imagine such scene: cold, misty morning by a lake surrounded by forests and mountains, I woke up by the camp fire after days of trekking and I know it's my last day here, I'm packing and going home, I know I'll be missing this place so much but also take home wonderful memories of it
@subradial You see, it's actually fun that you say that. Lots of my friends who have listen to this track said that it let them feel like if there were in a cold place. I have always pictured this session as standing in the middle of a snowstorm.
That's probably because you see this genre as merely background music (for elevators and etc.)
If you really want to like this music, you should lie down with a headset on in complete darkness and feel the magic. This sort of music shouldn't really be used for games, because, in my opinion, the music needs your full attention to be enjoyed.
@Bubblesboyjunior It's all about imagination. You listen to this music without context, what does your minds eye see when you hear the sounds. One person might see something big and welcoming like a lake or a mountain while others might see something small and foreboding like an desolate house or a dark forest. You just have to listen to the sound and give it your own context. Write your own story based on what you hear.. That's the beauty of ambient music, it's purposely ambiguous.
@Bubblesboyjunior you should try going on a hike in a beautiful place with this playing then im sure it would change your mind. thats what made me love biosphere so much was the contrast between his music and the beautiful natural world.
I'd like to shake your hand because it's pretty much my favorite song ever as well. I can't get anyone into this music though no one gets the beauty of it. the melody in this song is EXACTLY the type of melody i always want to be hearing. it can be anything you want it to. PERFECT!
i recently was hiking in colorado and i had this track on repeat. it was addicting. this track is so beautifully done. it can be anything you want. soothing, eerie, depressing, etc.
My favorite music from Biosphere is "Kobresia", but I like "Silene". I love lazy musics like that. You can imagine and visualizing all what you feel. The only thing I don't like is this "clicking" sounds at the end.
This music scares the crap out of me.

Kinda reminds me of Tangerine Dream, with a slightly more ominous edge, but not quite dark ambient (eg., Scorn).

For me, this music places itself in any context imaginable, i don't need a movie or a game for that...
