so i listened to some burzum songs and i really loved them . what i want to do is finding more musics exactly like these, but i don’t exactly know what should i search for ! “The reckoning of man” (is this medieval ? ) “Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule Der Singularitat” (is this dark ambient ?) “Bitterljuv Kakofoni” (this one is from Life lover … and i really want something like this) i searched for dark ambient musics and what i found wasn’t even music ! i mean it was just a weird noise out of nowhere . like wind sound or water sound . just some flat noises ! it wasn’t music. i also searched for medieval music , hoping to find what i want and again it wasn’t what i looked for ! too cheery for my taste ! i want some slow dark songs that actually worth listening ! something to listen when you want to lay down and think about nothing ! :smack: ---

I think CD Baby has some indie music that would fit the bill. ---

Do a YouTube search for “dungeon synth”, you’d probably like it if you can get behind the whole MIDI aesthetic that evokes the soundtrack of some old, somewhat glitchy DOS RPG. ---

An old favorite: “Down on Terminal Street” by Be Bop Deluxe: A nice little fan-made video. ;) “And all the creatures born of ink and rage and lies crawled from my pen, and ran across the page to die; Fascination was the germ of their disease, Degradation is the term of their release …” Wonderfully dark. 😃
