I am crying while listening to this masterpiece... and it's not sadness. It's something different. I feel like I am listening to the story of my life from the moment that I could not even remember. From the first heartbeat. From the first breath. While listening to this, I want to say - I HAD A BEAUTIFUL LIFE (as if I were dying, but with peace). I feel that this track just opened some doors with pure emotions that had to move on... And if you're reading this comment - I am embracing you, wishing you all the best.
In some ways this track has been slept on. I rarely heard it played in clubs. It deserves more recognition. It's a testament to his musical diversity. He always delivers regardless of the genre
This is absolutely incredible. how can you be so melancolic, poetic, funky, bad ass at the same time ? This is it. What a powerful composition. It's really crazy.
when you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.. as Rumi, the poet wrote.. in the language of electronica, when you do things from authentic part of yourself, you feel the sound of your deeper river.. cheers from Ireland folks!
This is the no 1 of electronic music I ever heard. I hear e.m. from the beginning, at 70s. This is a multiplying dimensions playing bless masterpiece. Giving more than a common brain can perceive. Thanks 🙏
This is "genius zipped in one song" kind of masterpiece. i listen 5-7 different micro melodies at the same time and each focus on a piece, takes me to another emotion. very very good
What a rare genius this guy is. Britain really does produce some talent. I also love other various UK electronica based acts like Unkle, Aphex Twin, FourTet, Burial, Massive Attack, Forest Swords, Allflaws
Keeps me coming back, without thinking this is in the top 5 from all the music I've heard in my life, i am 35 and i listened to alot of shit and alot of genres.. I also never comment on youtube.. But thank you for creating this track 🙏
what a piece of art, so incredible ambient with those sounds, experimental with feelings, broken beat, future garage, acid loops just awesome connections one of the best songs ever in live was unique
It's crazy how certain songs will remind you of a certain moment in your life... This one reminds me of last year when the lockdown first began which is when I discovered it. Almost kind of a dark track for really dark and strange times.
Have you heard Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra? I feel like that one will go down in the books as a legendary album, next to Kind Of Blue, Bitches Brew etc
Actually, since you people ended up in the comments of this beautiful piece, can I ask what you think are classics rivalling this beautiful work? I think you might have some great suggestions that I would love. I think perhaps: Ross From Friends - Pale Blue Dot Skee Mask - Routine Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink Max Cooper - Repetition Then probably something by Djrum, Aphex Twin, Bonobo and some more artists.
Love u man, yesterday I tried some shrooms I grew myself, and watched your videos for the first time, I was in love with this song, and I knew you were a total genius. After watching you videos, and listening all of your albums you became my idol. Thanks for this gift to the universe
Excellently executed nuances; Beautifully arranged sound patterns; Digital Cymatic Visuals are a fantastic choice well suited for this contemporary soundscape. I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing!
It's highly experimental, you can hear how daringly he plays with sounds on the offbeat and creating a dissonance. But it still seems to be cute enough for the casual listener to appreciate. Shots fired? It's brilliant.
Try to focus on a specific part (instrument) of the music and try to understand the piece from its perspective. Always refreshens a piece of music for me. Probably also refreshens any piece of art you have enjoyed for 'too long'.
This visualization comes the closest I've ever seen too what my synesthesia experience with techno is, only the visuals are different colors and shapes depending. Cool stuff
When I'm listening to this fabulous track it's taking me to another world where I feel so much at ease. There is full musical bliss. Another sound spectrum is opening up and my mind is ready to explore electronic sound at it's best. Thank you for taking me there!
Back here again, 'can't get enough of this masterpiece, and it feels each time ever better, sort of little stubborn fascination (and the visual is a stunner as well !)
Beautiful work. It reminds me of Saturn's rings where you really get to feel into the tempo, love the artwork because it really captures the excellence.
Stuff like this makes me excited to be an upcoming artist. It makes me excited to get inspiration from other great artist like this one. You sir are talented.
At early 90's I heard DJ saying that _"this is gonna be common popular music in year 2000, playing in radios and everywhere"_ - while we were listening The Orb at local radiostation studio here in small town middle finland... Didn't quite happen. :D Funny how collective consciousness rises all the time but mainstream music just get worse.
I love the effect produced by different rithms that overlaps with different and mutating 'ratios'. It all seems so mathematical and logical. But actually I'm possessed by this music. 💗
I'm way to old for clubs and old enough to have a very discerning classy taste in this genre haha. This is the best mix of my night and I've heard many. I am going to explore this further. 😁🤟
yeah messing around with synth plugins and such, physical gear really sounds different in the color and warmth of sounds, plus the modulations are way more natural
I don't know how I found this but I'm so glad I did, this is incredible! first time I heard this all the way into the 7:30 mark I knew I had stumbled onto something great, you had me hooked right to the end now on multiple times.
The Gift of Music 🎧🥰 it makes my soul happy to know this helped you move through the dark times... never underestimate the power of a song to do so! Music is Medicine 💜
this is included in my after rave playlist ! slow movents... deep breaths with my joint,eyes closed in some deserted street in london headphones on hummmm

@@ck675 highly doubt he uses any of that knowledge to make music.. like its a completely different set of skills, neuroscience doesnt teach u jack about subtractive synthesis, musical progression, scales, etc.. thats all music production and music theory lol. And most of all a PHD in neuroscience didnt give him a good taste in music so he could produce shit like this. Nice play on the whole neuroscience thing though.. I would have played that card the same way lol
What a track !!! One of my absolute favs. Wonder any tech nerds out there who could point me in the direction of how to achieve the visuals he's getting here ??

Definitely i can relate , so beautiful
stuff like this makes me so excited about electronic music. The possibilities are really endless
++synth;
--guitars;
this legit electronics for sure love this whole thang and instrumentation’s applied
In some ways this track has been slept on. I rarely heard it played in clubs. It deserves more recognition. It's a testament to his musical diversity. He always delivers regardless of the genre
definitely a club banger! just as much as an afterhours valeur sûre
where club? i'd like to go there
This is absolutely incredible. how can you be so melancolic, poetic, funky, bad ass at the same time ? This is it. What a powerful composition. It's really crazy.
excellently put. PS where are you in your profile pic bro??

This is what makes it so beautiful. A true masterpiece.
My shallow river is also important to me.
True.
Selamun alejkum.
This track is magnificent. A real example of how to extract every element from a melody, develop it and tell a story.
for some reason i never get tired of listening to this song it never gets irritating i can listen it for decades
Same here
My wife's voice is the antidote to that should you ever need one.
Awesome! I have been listening for 4 years... And even now, when there is a war in my country (Ukraine), this composition helps me morally.
Stay strong! All my support to your country ❤️❤️ 🙏🙏
@@MsLoila Thank you! ❤️
Slava Ukraini 💪
@mkalaft Heroyam Slava! 💪😎
The psychedelic beauty and skill expressed in this composition is beyond belief.
I think I’ve probably listened to this through more times than Floating Points himself
Damn, this track blew my mind. I've been heard it since 2 hours in a row. Floating is the true brain music maker. Master.
Listening to this is definitely one of the best ways to use 18 minutes and 48 seconds of your time on this planet. Sublime.
This is the no 1 of electronic music I ever heard.
I hear e.m. from the beginning, at 70s.
This is a multiplying dimensions playing bless masterpiece. Giving more than a common brain can perceive.

Check out Jon Hopkins !
Keeps me coming back, without thinking this is in the top 5 from all the music I've heard in my life, i am 35 and i listened to alot of shit and alot of genres..
I also never comment on youtube..
But thank you for creating this track 🙏
I'm 51 and agree!
28 yo I listen to a lot of genres too this song is also 1 of the best songs I’ve ever heard
I always come back here. And I agree you’re 💯 percent right.
makes me feel like i'm part of the music. fantastic music
what a piece of art, so incredible ambient with those sounds, experimental with feelings, broken beat, future garage, acid loops just awesome connections
one of the best songs ever
in live was unique
Music for the expansion of your mind
I can experience life and death and the infinite dance that all of this is within this track.
Same here
This is next level
Blanc commenting on floating points 😳 my respect for your channel is even higher now!
GABE MUSIC OFFICIAL absolute masterpiece 🌓
Next level .3000. Yep.
The truth is the fact...I can't answer , what's beyond this moment. I think . I know.
No me esperaba encontrarte aqui :0
I can't begin to describe how good that is. Usually, I don't jam to music all alone at home, but that thing gets me going.
You should do that more
Electronic masterpiece for the ears. Very sci-fi like. Amazing when travelling
This song warps time. It's epic and sprawling and takes you on a journey, but it somehow feels like it goes by in a flash.
It's crazy how certain songs will remind you of a certain moment in your life... This one reminds me of last year when the lockdown first began which is when I discovered it. Almost kind of a dark track for really dark and strange times.
Man.. Same here!!!
Dont care, didn't ask, not funny. B)
This was my quarantine track too!😁
same here.
Lol I have a pandemic song too not this one tho
In my opinion this track and bias can rival some of the biggest classics in electronic music
Completely agree.
They ARE some of the biggest classics in electronic music
Have you heard Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra? I feel like that one will go down in the books as a legendary album, next to Kind Of Blue, Bitches Brew etc

Had no idea what to expect with a track this long, but wow am I impressed. What a journey.
18 minutes and 47 seconds of pure beauty
Yes, It is rather cool 👌. Lots of elements to it . Makes you want more 😁
Love u man, yesterday I tried some shrooms I grew myself, and watched your videos for the first time, I was in love with this song, and I knew you were a total genius.
After watching you videos, and listening all of your albums you became my idol. Thanks for this gift to the universe
it has been 1 year since i heard this track, still has one of the best bass lines ever :D
Excellently executed nuances; Beautifully arranged sound patterns; Digital Cymatic Visuals are a fantastic choice well suited for this contemporary soundscape. I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing!
woooow this just came across on my autoplay all of a sudden while i was studying
this is AWESOME
much love to you all from the netherlands
What a tune. This is a journey of electronic music.

The transition at 4th min is giving me chills... damn this masterpiece
It's highly experimental, you can hear how daringly he plays with sounds on the offbeat and creating a dissonance. But it still seems to be cute enough for the casual listener to appreciate. Shots fired? It's brilliant.
I want to erase my memory so I can hear this track with new ears over and over again.
Same for me! I listened it so many times but the first one was special
Stop listening to it for a few years. That's what I do when I've listened to a song I like too many times.
I just got it in my recommended showing as watched, but I don't know how long ago that must've been. Fucking mystical
Weed my man.

After a solid 10 minutes I realised I was listening to this as if the song was part of everyday sounds.
Same it Was unbelivable
This gets me SOOO amped up every time I play it. Reminds me of Red Zone in NYC back in the early 90's. Love house music!!!
This is one of my favourite pieces of music.
Back here again, 'can't get enough of this masterpiece, and it feels each time ever better, sort of little stubborn fascination (and the visual is a stunner as well !)

This is more than a song. It's an experience for thoughtfulness and inner reflection. Thank you.
This ratio is golden.
So hypnotic and powerful ! Production skills here are above everything, so much details and variations ! Well done sir !
Sat here watching with my 5 month old because this is the only video that will calm her. Ill have a milk for the little one and 2 tabs for me please
You guys know that this guy medically studies the brain alongside making music, he knows exactly what he is doing
Knows? They might have a nose. Floating at this point in time, nose-body may or may not know exactly.
brain surgery over us :D
Yes I do
Hé controls our brains
You can medically study my balls
in my perfect world this is common club music
💯% agree with you
Come to germany, it is here.
It is but you have to find it. Follow the right DJs, make friends among those who dance in the front row, find out where the raves are.
Come to Melbourne, our little secret ;)
At early 90's I heard DJ saying that _"this is gonna be common popular music in year 2000, playing in radios and everywhere"_ - while we were listening The Orb at local radiostation studio here in small town middle finland...
Didn't quite happen. :D
Funny how collective consciousness rises all the time but mainstream music just get worse.
this is out of this world
I love the effect produced by different rithms that overlaps with different and mutating 'ratios'.
It all seems so mathematical and logical.
But actually I'm possessed by this music.
💗
creativity of playing with feelings
I'm way to old for clubs and old enough to have a very discerning classy taste in this genre haha. This is the best mix of my night and I've heard many. I am going to explore this further. 😁🤟
the main beauty of this track is that its made with analog and modular systems.
yeah messing around with synth plugins and such, physical gear really sounds different in the color and warmth of sounds, plus the modulations are way more natural
I don't know how I found this but I'm so glad I did, this is incredible! first time I heard this all the way into the 7:30 mark I knew I had stumbled onto something great, you had me hooked right to the end now on multiple times.
It just does not get old.
i died and came back to this song. this song made me realize that i value life.
Now, this is deep... !!!
5 years ago wow . Time fucking flies after 21 y’all. I’m glad I’m still alive.
Next time I take psychedelics I'm 100% watching/listening to this from start to finish. I'll probably end up crying.
If you ever took acid you wouldn't talk like that any more
Go in as a helpless child, go out as a blissful adult.
Smoke changa i have to this song
Lol
@@samzagyva1549 ...results?( travel stories to share?)
i listened to this on a 4 hour flight on repeat because its just that good
Could listen to this for hours!!!!!!!!
this treats anxiety and depression with zero side effects
Floating Points, genius... Thanks for such a Masterwork to come out!
Each note, each modulation...
Isn't it perfect?
It is bro... it is
These fractals just recalibrated my brain.
This is the kind of stimulating music that teachers should be playing for their kids while they work. I personally would have had a better time.
This song helped me process the darkest time in my life a couple years ago
Music heals man, hope you're doing better now :)
The Gift of Music 🎧🥰 it makes my soul happy to know this helped you move through the dark times... never underestimate the power of a song to do so! Music is Medicine 💜

Good luck......xx
Gosh what a lovely piece this is. Goodness me.
When i start listening this banger it was "only 300k views" now its 1M thank god im not crazy that track is officially a masterpiece!
Duud, views don't define anything...
@@NicolaAcoust as a techno lover i know the deal but i just had to say it
sound design so good, i had to take my headphones off because i thought my speakers were playing instead of my headphones
Just discovered this in Oct 2023 and it's majestic
This is it. Been looking for you.
this is included in my after rave playlist ! slow movents... deep breaths with my joint,eyes closed in some deserted street in london

hummmm
Just discovered this track. Oh my lord this is epic. That bass drop. Ooft.
this is good human music, similar to what we play in our dimension.
Pics or it didn't happen
crazy 5th dimensional party

for real...seems like infinite amounts of time pass between each transition and yet never a dull note

stumbled across the similar thought and wondered if your notifications will bring you back to experience it again
This is amazing work. A lot of influences rolled into one. I gotta check out who wrote this. Killer vibe on this track.
This Gem,restores mana..
He knows the brain.
...literally.
For those who might not know, Sam Shepherd, AKA Floating Points, literally has a PhD in Neuroscience.
Or at least the satisfying frequencies

Here in 2020 listening to this for the first time and thinking I should have listened to it sooner.
samee
listento4k same here . 06:30 in the morning trying to wake up i discover this track , holy shit!
This releases the good chemicals.
What a track !!! One of my absolute favs. Wonder any tech nerds out there who could point me in the direction of how to achieve the visuals he's getting here ??
12:00 magical moment
In what kind of clubs kann I listen to this kind of music ? I'm new to this but absolutely love it
He'll be in Paris the 3rd of December Already booked the event
Seems to simple, yet so good.
Thats the magic
And the graphic/geometric visuals !!! So nice
I wanna be friends with everyone that listens to this
EDIT: Did not expect people being so cool with this! Maybe check my music if you want.
We r friends.
not a problem :D
ME TOOOOO
Pronto ! ja somos Amigos ! we are friends right now !
The lack of warmth of the recent tracks let's me enjoy this even more.
Perfect warm mix for a cold november afternoon at the office :D
Randomly found this on SoundCloud looking for new electronic music and just wow what a gem I found
Listening from Guadalajara, México!
I love ur music FP
Saludos guanato
i love you Floating Points - Ratio (Full Mix)
Makes me wanna dance sober in a nightclub in Berlin, that shit's enough to get high
Love seeing stuff like this
Listened to this for 1 hour. Best for roller skating
