If I were an internet historian 50k years in the future I’d be wondering about how tortured people were to make such emotional music. Compared to emo or something. This is just amazing and doesn’t always come from a place of peace and happiness.
Nooblenin those 9 minutes r a reflection of all life. His. Yours. Mine. The struggle. Pretty sure u can feel that thats what this song is. Good name too shadow. This realm is a mere shadow of higher realities
This is sort of a humble-brag, but I worked with Werner Herzog on his piece for the 2012 Whitney Biennial. One day we spent a few hours at my computer watching UA-cam videos trying to find music that would fit with his piece we'd be installing and he showed me this. It was my first exposure to Ernst's music and I was hooked immediately. Now that I live in the Netherlands I hope to see him playing live soon! As a side note, at the end of our UA-cam session he looked at his watch and said "I must leave. I have to be in Pittsburgh to film a movie with Tom Cruise. I am playing his nemesis."
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see this at the Getty in Los Angeles... then when we walked out, Ernst was in the lobby playing it live. And then we looked over and there was Werner Herzog. Everybody enjoyed the performance, but nobody seemed to recognize Ernst or Werner, so we got about 20 minutes with each, talking excitedly about art and music after he filled the beautiful atrium of the Getty with this soul-stirring music.
I saw the expo on old grimoires and medieval bibles at the Getty around that time, they had this very take (from the video above) playing on a loop in the dark rooms where the books were on display, it was absolutely magical
A famous electro group here in germany used that song in their intro for the concert. They dragged a famous actor from here on a hook while he was completly naked, dipped him in blue paint and painted a big white canvas. That canvas and different others they made were used as a background for the entire concert. This song really gave it the magical atmosphere. If your interested, search for "Deichkind live 2020 intro" it's truly a strange but magical experience
Wow. It's sooo hard to put words on such a masterpiece. It's above fast everything i ever heard before. It just blew my mind. It just blew everything. Fuck off 3'30" commercial songs. THIS is what i wanna hear. THIS is what everyone shall hear. If only it was possible to fill more hours of my life with such pieces...
Incredible sound. The harmonics, timbre and the way played on each instrument is already amazing; the two combined... beyond words. First time I 've ever seen a 5 stringed cello!
Imagine producing this, in this setting. Imagine this was your job. I should’ve listened to my band instructor and chosen music. Perhaps I’m just being blindly sentimental and music just has that affect on ones psyche to preserve memories in a nice glass, yet ephemerally fogged, jar for you to revisit from time to time. Just based on a few series of chord progressions and sound vibrations. Our world is beautiful. #cavedirge
This piece is the music for the video art installation Hearsay of the Soul exhibit of Werner Herzog at the Getty Museum, what a perfect compliment, absolutely beautiful!
I think this must be the best Cellist who has ever and will ever live. It's like the instrument was made for him. Like Herzog said just to make this point, he could play the American Civil War on the Cello.
It took me longer to find this video than usually and it really scared me to think that it might have been taken down. I also got to see this installation at the Getty museum in LA. I had an incredible experience in that moment. I had just come from camping on the lost Dutchman Trail for two weeks in Arizona, and after a straight drive from Phoenix to the Getty, I went from being surrounded by nothing but desert to being surrounded by people art culture, and all there was to offer at the Getty. As I walked around, the museum, noticed a few faces that I still remember to this day, and as most faces pass and are never to be seen again, I didn’t think much of it. But towards the end of my exploration of the museum. I came onto this dark room this music playing the room was empty and black. What looks like charcoal sketches of the desert I had just spent two weeks getting to know or projected on the walls and this music played as a crescendo to the journey I had just lived. I watched as the images changed and I thought of the people I had been camping with. I thought of the people those faces I remember from walking in the museum and then the music ended. The installation had come to an end and I had viewed it all I had listened to it all. And when the lights of the room brightened a bit, I noticed that I had been watching and listening with those same faces I had been seeing as I perused the museum. I think of that moment often and I listen to this to relive it.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I've never felt my hair stand so far on end. The intro of the song is probably a bit misleading to the judgemental crowd of the Internet. It would be better if it began at 1:09, not that I dislike it though. It's all amazing to me! :D
necro'ing a comment from 7 years ago, but I feel like the harsh intro really helps contrast the rest of the song. Without it, sure the song is still good but it makes it hit that much more.
This song plays at the very end of the film. The feeling of hearing this and then mixing it with the film's content, makes you feel very sentimental. It's almost as if it's the music playing on your journey back from the upper paleolithic to the modern day.
@@anodyne57 i agree because I've heard Ernst Reijseger's music in other movies but for some reason him and Warner's art both compliment each other very well.
@@stubeet39 Well, it's just more convenient having all your music in one place. If you wanna go through the hassle of downloading every single song you like, be my guest. But I don't think it makes me a proper pleb just because I want this back on Spotify.
Upon listening to this for a second time (this time with my full attention), I am equally mesmerized by his intricate expression on the strings. Thank you for sharing it Kevin.
I was at the Whitney Biennial museum and i listened to this in the dark room. It was BEAUTIFUL, I dont know about you guys but it had so much emotion in my opinion. I wanted to cry for some reason.
So beautiful! I absolutely love it, you are able to pull such a great tone out of your harmonics and the extended bass is killer. Wow, this is really excellent!
Thanks to this soundtrack, thanks to the geniality of Werner Herzog, I was immediately sent to the caves era , feeling the smell, heat, cold, roughness and beauty of their lives. Magnifcent !!!
💔Heartbreakingly beautiful & evocative Musik, it makes me think/meditate of/on this.......: "Media vita in morte sumus/Mitten wir im Leben sind/In the Midst of Life We Are in Death; In the midst of death we are surrounded by life!" (Fascinating trivia: "Media vita in morte sumus, In the midst of life, we are in death," is a Latin antiphon popular in the Renaissance and Baroque but dating to the Middle Ages (.......). ❤
Mooier en intenser dan dit is nauwelijks voorstelbaar. (Hoewel ik ook een heleboel andere muziek ken die geweldig mooi, emotievol en van de schoonheid en de troost is.) Maar deze muziek van Ernst en Harmen komt nog altijd ongelofeloos bij me binnen!
Brother. I have known you since the beginning of my life. Bound by blood we walked this earth together brother, through the good times, and the bad. Brother one thing is certain. I love you. And now that I am in my time of need you so foolishly push me aside in favor of your oats. At last I truly see your real face brother, formerly is was hidden by a phantom that drew me in. As we walked together I thought it was out of brotherly love, but alas, you were merely using me as a tool in your quest to procure the oats you covet. So be it. Do not worry brother. I hold no grudges, and I forgive you. Yet know this brother. as you feast upon your oats, remember what you have lost. Remember all those that loved you, and love you no more. For every oat you eat, is a tear on my face, trickling down past my snout. In the end brother was it worth it? Your oats may fill your stomach, and let you live another day. But what is another day with no one to spend it with? As I perish know I perish without fear. For whatever comes after this life is what I deserve and nothing more. I only pray brother, that when you perish, you do not get what you deserve. I pray you get better. For I know if you were to be judged by any God you would be cast aside to punishment for sins on this earth. Enjoy your oats brother, as I will enjoy my last breath.
Esta pieza la pongo cuando viajo, al mirar por la ventana, me siento tan sumergido en las notas y el paisaje, que parece una pelicula. Agradesco entrar ese dia al hilo donde la escuche por primera vez.
thank you, anon,. for bringing me here

Nah man.... /gif/ War..
Just got linked this from a YGYL thread. Brilliant.
He didn't just play the song, he put his soul into the strings, and the bow
i want this to be remembered in 50,000 years
If I were an internet historian 50k years in the future I’d be wondering about how tortured people were to make such emotional music. Compared to emo or something. This is just amazing and doesn’t always come from a place of peace and happiness.
I am privileged to know this amazing musician, great soul and beautiful man. I once painted one of his cellos, what an honor!
He did more with a cello in 9 minutes than I feel like I've done with my entire life.
Nooblenin This comment almost made me cut my wrists... Epic sadness.
Nooblenin those 9 minutes r a reflection of all life. His. Yours. Mine. The struggle. Pretty sure u can feel that thats what this song is. Good name too shadow. This realm is a mere shadow of higher realities
That's because he's given his entire life to be able to do this
Humbling for sure :) not a bad thing
Took more than nine minutes to learn how to play like that.
This is sort of a humble-brag, but I worked with Werner Herzog on his piece for the 2012 Whitney Biennial. One day we spent a few hours at my computer watching UA-cam videos trying to find music that would fit with his piece we'd be installing and he showed me this.

Lucky ones 🥰😄!!!
What a great story, lucky humans, this comment was made so you listen to this again
It's simply overwhelming, one cannot listen this and stay emotionally the same as before, it reminds me we do have have a soul.
Wow....That came from a deep place within him. The organ just tied everything together. beautiful
A famous electro group here in germany used that song in their intro for the concert. They dragged a famous actor from here on a hook while he was completly naked, dipped him in blue paint and painted a big white canvas.

I would kill to have an apartment below where Ernst Reijseger lives. To hear him playing on a regular basis.... The Music of Erich Zann on steroids.
Kill me
Which is also kinda sad, since it was the protag sharing intimately in the joy of the music that caused Erich to get eldritch horror'd.
2022 and this is still being spread, Praise Anon!
His face at the end. His smile. It goes away when the music leaves the room.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY I'M HAVING, JUST SITTING IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD OUTDOORS BY THE SEASHORE-SO BLESSED
Heard this at the museum and cried. Thank you.
Whitney?
LeonitusNathaniel the Getty?
Me too. My husband and I sat and watched it several times. ❤️❤️❤️
where plsss😢😥
it reminds me of godspeed you! black emperor a little bit, fantastic
Can you feel inside in the of forgotten dreams.
Why isn't this masterpiece on spotify anymore? Literally shaking and crying rn.
My thoughts exactly!
It's back!
its back online
4:00 the part that probably made you come here, thanks anon
This song convinced me the cello is the superior bowed string instrument. I am taken to another world by this piece. Thank you for making it.
Wow. It's sooo hard to put words on such a masterpiece. It's above fast everything i ever heard before. It just blew my mind. It just blew everything.
Fuck off 3'30" commercial songs. THIS is what i wanna hear. THIS is what everyone shall hear.

Incredible sound. The harmonics, timbre and the way played on each instrument is already amazing; the two combined... beyond words.
First time I 've ever seen a 5 stringed cello!
every time i come back to this, it sends me right back into that feeling
It's like the music resonates with a mind of a man.
What a piece of art
absolutely beautiful . pulled the tears from my eyes
How?
Never seen a man pour his heart and soul into a... cello? Is it? Until now.
It's not a Cello it's just a really big Violin
U never seen a big violin before?
Couldn't sleep because I had to hear this again in case I forgot about it in the morning. Good feels thread anon.
this is my funeral music. make it known
To me this is the closest interpretation of this life I have ever heard. Beautiful pain
Imagine producing this, in this setting. Imagine this was your job.

@@HannibalBeerus73it does say something. I don’t know what, but that intro needs to be there.
Absolutely fantastic, I've been listening to the album for this for the past couple weeks. Great stuff!
Thank you. There is more: www.springmusic.nl
I'm nearly in tears. This is so haunting and achingly beautiful. Thank you, Ernst and Harmen!
Saw this at the Getty, loved it and found it first-thing when I got home.

This is absolutely the most moving musical arrangement I have ever heard. Thank you God.
Genuinely incredible.
I wish I could find the words to describe this piece but I can't, I simply can't. It is so beautiful and sublime that it is ineffable.
As all the best things are
Werner Herzog always has the best music for his movies.
And Ernst Reijseger always has the best movies for his music. Funny how that works.
@@anodyne57 i agree because I've heard Ernst Reijseger's music in other movies but for some reason him and Warner's art both compliment each other very well.
absolutely the most beautiful song i have ever heard
You sir are the real Erich Zann.
Please put this back on spotify :(((!!!!
It Is done

Grandiose, époustouflant ! Je ne m'en lasse pas. Ce morceau est aquatique, presque fœtal ! Un retour à l'originel . ❤
Anon, thank you for this heavenly piece of music.
Thank anon, the perfect song, right when the melatonin started kicking in~
This is turning an instrument into an extension of oneself. Mesmerizing
Dios, es una cancion bellisima, felicidades has creado algo maravilloso
That touched me to a deep deeeep level. The world can be grateful to have people like you
The best stuff to listen to right before bed...
This is one of the best things I've ever heard in my life but I got a advert right on the best part now I gotta listen to the whole thing again
it really is amazing. I've enjoyed this for years
4:00 I refuse to believe that something human made could make me feel so much emotions
Love this. Some him and Mola Sylla 10 years ago. One of the best gigs I've seen.
1:10 When the organ kicks in.
Accidentally came across this on Spotify. Absolutely love it.
these guys in the kitchen creating just the best contemporary classics
This is so beautiful, incredible talent.
YES!!! OMG OMG YESS!!! I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS PIECE FOR SO LONG AND NOW I CAN FINALLY SEE HOW IT WAS MADE
If there are any alines on this planet Im sure this piece of music is one of their favourites .
this is the music from my home planet
Beautiful. The organ connects everything together so perfectly. Albino crocodiles.
perfection.
For a second I was like, wait, is that Herzog playing the cello?
This is just beyond words. I am awestruck!
Upon listening to this for a second time (this time with my full attention), I am equally mesmerized by his intricate expression on the strings. Thank you for sharing it Kevin.
FUCKING SICK AMAZING I LOVE THIS AND YOU I WANT TO LEARN RIGHT NOW BUT IM POOR SO YEAAAA
Squeezes a tear out. Beautiful!
I love the space this creates. Thank you.
This is one of the all-time great soundtracks. Thank you for this, it is really amazing. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.
I just got here. Thank you Anon.

I just saw Hearsay of the Soul at the Getty museum in LA and was riveted by this segment. My new favorite piece of music! Thank you

This healed me. Thank you so much.
every year i try to find this piece again, because it comes to mind, but can't remember how it was called.
This is the true meaning of art related to life it comes alive in the heart and mind to capture the spirit.
