I've been a dark ambient fan for many years, but this is unlike any other. The picture and the music go perfectly together to me. I've always enjoyed what "place" music takes them to, so I will share mine in hopes that someone else enjoys reading. A tundra, maybe Antarctica, maybe Siberia, experiencing a raging night blizzard. Some time between 1940 and 1970. Walking through miles of endless snow in solitude with nothing but a heavy fur lined coat.
+Mike Wohl You probably could enjoy this piece as well: soundcloud.com/jo-thomas/crystal-jo-thomas-2011 Very nice ambient work by Jo Thomas. Highly recommend it.
it's half past 4 in the morning.. i should probably go to sleep but there is something about that music that deprives me of any need to sleep. i feel like i am lost on a cold winter night, way up in the mountains, or at the arctic shore..
Perfect music for meditation. Even without any movements, there is storm in our minds. Mental tempests. Images, sounds, scenarios, projections in past and future and even in nowehere, memories. All is mental illusion, wrong interpretations influenced by our emotions. The truth is burried deep inside our mind, deeper than mental fluctuations, deeper than childhood memories. I'm trying to focus on a flame that don't move, but mental distractions are very powerfull... There is hidden fights inside us, tentions and deep emotions. Introspection is not an easy way. The mental is a prism which deforms reality, even our perceptions through the 5 senses are illusions, we build our lifes on those perceptions and interpretations. What's behind that? Infinite? Absolute consciousness? It sounds unaccessible thing. It seems like there are locked doors in our brains. Lost keys and we are blind. All poets are blind. What's behind tempest? Acceptation, calm, abnegation.
Wow! A surprising, yet pleasing amount of likes and listens. Whilst I love it, I never expect many other people to like this sort of thing. Nice to know I'm not alone :-)
This reminds me a lot of Sleep Research Facility's work called Deep Frieze. I couldn't advise you enough to dig this release from 2007, it sounds close to Daikan. Incredibly captivating.
This is totally new to me. I was listening to Mathias Grassow, and this popped up in the sidebar. I had never heard of Koner, so I gave it a try. Wow! Thanks for getting me into something new and great.
Thanks tou you - accidently i saw this link while study for my sound engineering project . Took a listen to that and fell into the bottomless pit . Now i can state - this is some of the best Dark Ambient masterpieces i've discovered , in a looong time . Thank you again for sharing . Subbed .
feels to me like the possible sounds and language of communication between Antarctic mountains and ice sheets, Thomas Koner shows the beauty and depth to intelligent natural forms, Koner came to my attention via the excellent compilation featuring isolationist ambience, that seems to have drifted towards space ambience and maybe influenced Taylor Deupree, Stephan Mathieu and other pioneers of deep ambience.
Adam Jimenstien Ambient 4: Isolationism a 1994 compilation album released on the Virgin Records label, part of its Ambient series. The compilation was issued as a double CD, packaged in a slimline case. It features liner notes by Kevin Martin. The Thomas Koner track on the compilation is "Kanon (Part One: Brohuk)"
This is almost exactly like a scene from Lovecraft's - the call of Cthulhu tale - a story named 'The mountains of madnesses '. Dark ambient is so...Cthulhu!
If you're into Lovecraft and music that takes its inspiration from his work, I suggest you give Black Mountain Transmitter's 'Black Goat of the Woods' a listen. It borders on disturbing, but if that's what you're looking for...
I,ve found something great here , this music , I wish I was still using speed so I could play this when I was coming down and getting the horrors trying to sleep , I,dve fuckin flipped ....
El peor fallo de Köner es incluir voces en sus composiciones. Esto rompe la sugestividad de la atmósfera. Además, en numerosos casos es evidente que desconoce el idioma que utiliza, por lo que llega al extremo del ridículo para el oyente nativo, que escucha un mensaje que no tiene nada que ver con el ambiente del sonido.

This is like the holy grail of ambient / noise........I finally found it. Absolutely stunning
+Mike Wohl No kidding lol

I had a fan that sounded just like that when I was younger. Such a lovely sound.

This is the sound of everything.
I've listened to this album over 100 times
Me too !
Pepe Sanchez Me too! How does he do it? These sounds have been there since time immemorial.
As far as atmospheric, barren soundscapes go, this one's up there. Big 'The Thing' vibes.
I wrote a poem because of this music. Gorgeous.
It's good stuff like this that makes me want to buy 300$ headphones.
Words cannot describe the kind of 'nostalgia' you get with this piece, this picture.. explains it all but you cannot say it in words.
Speechless, I have not been this blown away on a first listen of something in a while.
+Layne Giese Me too. Addicted to his work.
The slow drift of centuries...
At the Mountains of Madness.
Good to see this back. It's the best atmospheric piece around.
I sleep to this incredible piece ever night.
Thomas Koner's music is so addictive and captivating.

Can't stop listening to this!
I discovered him during a live played at HKW in Berlin, summer 2014.
A great drone and minimalist composer.
Wow! A surprising, yet pleasing amount of likes and listens. Whilst I love it, I never expect many other people to like this sort of thing. Nice to know I'm not alone :-)
I actually like this quietly though headphones instead of loud volume. So awesome.
inner sourrounding.
first listen and I'm in love. it captures the coldness of the night and absorbs you to the deepest of emotions.
This helped me through a very difficult period. Seemed to freeze for the duration a hurricane of anxiety.
+Sverre Kvernmo Same, friend.
+Sverre Kvernmo I also struggle with anxiety and I turn to Thomas Koner every other night
absolutely...pulls you in...mystical, yet somehow familiar...calming, stirring.
It reminds me of being in a propeller airplane high in the altitude and looking out the window
I just explore the deepest part of my mind through this ....
This album and walking across tierra del fuego you don't need nothing more
Very glad to have spent days looking through lots of instrumental and lowercase music.
that ones gives me always a deep sense of calm ..
Beautiful soundscape, dark ambient feeling in it! Very relaxing!
is like floating in space. lovely! my neighbors probably not agree with me, but still... Lovely!
more than perfect!
Great piece of pure hypnotic atmosphere with an unique heavy and harsh touch
Stunning.
This reminds me a lot of Sleep Research Facility's work called Deep Frieze. I couldn't advise you enough to dig this release from 2007, it sounds close to Daikan.
Incredibly captivating.
Excellent for reading and contemplating the deeper things.
This remind me of "The Thing", never know what lurking under the ices.
Great sound!
Incredible, loved every second of it.
Seconded.
absolutely mesmerizing
This is totally new to me. I was listening to Mathias Grassow, and this popped up in the sidebar. I had never heard of Koner, so I gave it a try. Wow! Thanks for getting me into something new and great.
If you listen to this in shitty earphones, the clicking makes it sound like you're simultaneously on an icesheet, and in a submarine.
the soundtrack to the apocalypse
..impressing composition......I send my thanks for sharing....
Thanks tou you - accidently i saw this link while study for my sound engineering project . Took a listen to that and fell into the bottomless pit . Now i can state - this is some of the best Dark Ambient masterpieces i've discovered , in a looong time .

كل يوم اسمعها لعلا ❤️
я прекрасно выспался под нее. спасибо большое!
I like those cool, ice-airplane things.

Reminds me a little of John Carpenter's The Thing.
+Bryan Losey I'd second that.
+Bryan Losey Pass me the whiskey bottle
Gives the Beyerdynamic DT700 PRO X a run for it's money.
Look for someone who hears this every day just like me
I remember seeing him play live in the church inside the Barbican in London - epic!
***** Yea! It was great. Victor Gama was playing a thumb piano thing if I remember correctly.

Terrifyingly gorgeous. Makes the mind feel crepuscular.
Nur Geil...
Great for Indy horror games and movies
Or post apocalyptic sceneries.
17 minutes into the song it sounds like what inspired the soundtrack of Gravity by Steven Price!
I,ve found something great here , this music , I wish I was still using speed so I could play this when I was coming down and getting the horrors trying to sleep , I,dve fuckin flipped ....

Phenomenal. Reminds me of being at my Grans as a teenager. Picking over a shit lunch...
white walkers, white walkers everywhere
This is meditation sound... For those who looking for an answer.
Space ship landing music.
muy bueno
Where was this recorded? What are those sounds?
This is great.
Does anyone know more songs or albums like this?
Thanks
check out Tim Hecker. He has some pretty amazing ambient, experimental albums!
He's great, I've already checked some of his stuff, my favorite album by him is The Ravedeath.
Disintegration Loops
check out youtube channels like Redizorktj and Berevezje. As for tracks like this, check out Aairria.
Thank you!
Like 👍👍👍

This is what the inside of your mind sounds like
I'm like _wait wtf is my speaker busted_ and then I read the blurb. LMFAO.

Esto no ocurre en esta obra empero, para mí su master piece.
