A wonderful combination of music and sounds.  Didn't have time to listen to the entire 14 minutes, but I'll come back and finish.

удивительная история...

Intense and disturbing soundscape with great vocal addition. Fantastic sound design and production!

Is that Chris Watsons Geosonic sample library. One of the most expressive found sounds library out there.

The world's largest iceberg, A23a — equivalent to the size of Rhode Island- is endlessly spinning near the South Orkney Islands, about 375 miles from the Antarctic Peninsula. Its dance is caused by a phenomenon in fluid mechanics known as a Taylor column. It's essentially a rotating cylinder that forms when there's an obstruction in a flow. The A23a is trapped in a kind of ocean vortex, a Taylor column.
There are many paths a collaboration can take you down. Although the typical one tends to be shaped as a kind of dialog or turn-taking, I like the most those that, instead, become as sawing a seed and watching what happens then, including some active intervention: somebody tells an idea, or provides some materials or tracks to you and they start a self-organizing process in one's DAW. That's what happened here: @user-737426987 Ambient Annie provided some tracks that made some musical sense by themselves, but I used them as seeds for something different though related. Another of Ambient Annie's relevant contributions to this track has been in providing a concept, even though this was originally unintentional: some of our email conversations deal with natural phenomena, and therefore Antarctica, its fauna and icebergs gracefully popped up. Some months later, the seeds swelled, stems grew and leaves appeared, giving way to the flowering that you can now listen to.
During the final mixing rounds, Nyarlathotep, the three-lobed burning eye creature from Lovecraft's cosmogonies, passing his crawling chaos through the throat of @lhtrah Lht (another SC artist you should listen to), unexpectedly contributed with some primordial chants to this track: my degree in Miskatonik studies allowed me to decode the singing as "I will die and nobody will remember me", which is quite appropriate for an iceberg that is slowly melting. As far as I could find out this song was first featured in a film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, "Fando y Lis" (1968).

Conscience ∞ Soul
The body, a receiver— an antenna stretched toward the unsayable.
It tunes in, translates— but the signal comes from elsewhere.
One day, the frequency slips. The sound fades, but the wave goes on.
What we thought housed in flesh had already spilled past the bones.

My Soul is Not Contain

Based this on a Charlie Chaplin sample - loads of breaks, chops, bouncing and chopping again. 

Let us all unite

A pendant of sorts to fectoper´s beautiful Taylor Column composition  (where I made some contribution), which you can listen to below. 

MELTING OF ANCIENT ICE


🌌 [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — a journey through neon lights, glitches, and digital melancholy.
Here, Synthwave nostalgia from the 80s collides with the cold pulse of Cyberwave, wrapped in the warm textures of Lo-Fi that soothe the noise of endless cities.

This is music for midnight streets, empty highways, and the glow of windows flickering in sync with your thoughts.
It’s where the past blends with the future, and emotions transform into digital code.

✨ Atmosphere:

neon synths glowing like city lights in the night;

deep bass, echoing like the heartbeat of a machine;

glitch effects dissolving reality into streams of data;

melancholic melodies leaving the aftertaste of nostalgia.

⚡ [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — more than music. It’s the soundtrack to a world where you choose: to be a wanderer in the neon haze or the hero of your own cyber story.
