Psyclopean - At The Mountains Of Madness (Lovecraft/atmospheric/dark ambient/experimental/drone) 2018. Psyclopean is the cinematic dark ambient/atmospheric music project fronted by Matt Schmitz (Sleestak, Altrusian Grace Media) that brought you The King In Yellow album and produces instrumental interpretations of the literary works of H.P. Lovecraft and his peers. At The Mountains Of Madness is the fourth album, inspired by the Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos, and by far the most intensive, immersive, and epic Psyclopean release to date.

Thanks everyone and I hope you really enjoy this one!
4 people's minds simply broke from the sheer intensity and decided to dislike this masterpiece in their insanity
Such a sad existence. I pity them really
Kavi Sugiharto Weber and now it's already 14, interesting how incapable of understanding such a masterpiece, the human mind is.
This aged... neatly
Happy Birthday Mr. Lovecraft.....thank you for everything you've inspired.
"Those pipes! Those damnable infernal pipes are leaking again!"
The great feeling of reading The complete fiction of H.P. Lovecraft complete fiction with such a dark masterpiece while feeling the madness crawl into my soul
Awesome! My husband and I have been into reading Lovecraft literature to one another lately, and these really do make fitting background ambience. It really adds something
Thank you, glad you dig it!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
H.P. Lovecraft
So in other words, ol’ Howard was saying, “Life is meaningless, the universe doesn’t give a rat’s ass about us, and anything we find out in the universe will either kill us or drive us mad.”
... or not ...
@@lukebuchanan3591
Yeah, sorry. I was mixing him up with one of his characters. My mistake.
@@greywalker505 He was saying the universe is dark and scary and would drive us insane if we could understand it all. Part of this belief was informed by - or perhaps informed - his racism and fear of basically anyone who wasn't white and from Providence, RI
@@vinapocalypse
Again, a mistake of mine. I mean, I sort of got that he was going for the “don’t-explore-the-unknown” route.
Had to buy the album after my dungeon master used some of this for the climax of our dnd campaign. Oh holy fuck it was a 12 hours I will never forget.
Nice!
I could feel like I was atop a mountain peak, looking upon ageless constructs made of unknown hands eons ago. Thank you for releasing yet another wonderful Cthulhu Mythos ambient album to listen to. It is a treasure.
Glad you like it, I tried narrating the story through the music
Eerie, daunting and relaxing. My favorite Psyclopean album until now!
awesome, thanks!
I love this! Especially at 16:00 to about 17:45 really sounds like the escalation of madness.
Open your Mind...beautifully done work.
The mountains of madness, these purple mountains malignancy are from another dimension with parts of it anchored in several times and places. One of which is Antarctica now and in the past when it was connected to Australia and possibly several other spaces and times like in Asia. The Q'n-qang (the star-headed Old Ones) were fearful of them.
Thanks , epic,my favorite book finally has a ost
This is my favorite song , thanks!
A truly wonderful resonating piece that fills the mind with echos of dread and fractals of madness. The perfect ambiance for Lovecraftian tabletop RPGs, as were the other works in the Psyclopean project. Keep up the great work.
Awesome, I appreciate the comments! I used to play CoC back in the day so I know how atmosphere plays a part
This video animation is like a slow never-ending acid trip that's pouring my brain into my navel. FANTASTIC, and perfect for this wonderful music.
Subscribed...immediately.
Wow thank you! Glad you like it! I plan on doing more of those types of animations but they take so long to render for lengthy music productions like this. Anyway happy to have your sub!
Amazing picture! I used this music a few months ago to enrich my novel "What in Hell's Name", which is a Lovecraftian, apocalyptic extreme horror story. I guess I should say thanks because the music not only inspired me but motivated me to move my ass and get it on Amazon! So cheers!
I just bought the kindle version and look forward to reading it!
Thanks, I'm going to purchase the paperback edition! Looking forward to a treat!
the best sound ever! makes my mind travel to unknown places
Perfect composition
Oh man. I'm super stoked for this. I've been playing King in Yellow constantly when I'm working on Lovecraftian stuff. This is incredible. Thank you so much!
My thanks go to you for digging it so much and for just taking the time to listen!
maximale Konzentration dank dieser Musik! Danke! Thanks!
A eldrich master-piece! Well done.
thank you much!
wow! I like it, specially at 17:39 amazing, nice part, congratulacion
Thanks!
Just bought the album, money well spent 😌🤙🏻
Saw that. Thank you so much for the support!!! You rock!
This is fantastic. I love the Lovecraftian theme. Wonderful background music :)
Thanks for checking it out!
I do love this one!
Thanks!
MASTERPIECE.....SUBLIME work!!!
This is flawless! Bravo once again ! 👍
Thanks, more coming soon!
This one is great! Glad I found it sooner rather than later:>
A great Masterpiece .Very well done, it's a high class Ambient music and a great pleasure to listen, this kind of Music.
Thank you for the kind words
Oh amazing
Kadath in the Cold Waste: Randolph Carter risks his life and sanity to reach it, Danforth goes insane at its mere reflection in the clouds.
Men of different constitutions
Check out the building that's literally melting, wtf? That's cool.
Well done! Was actually kinda relaxing.
Thanks, I took a more minimalist approach for this one!
Very nice mix, well done
Thanks
great stuff, wonderfully moody. Any orchestral instruments or all keyboards? Hard to tell sometimes with the quality that electronic instruments can produce. I feel guilty listening to this without supporting the artists! I'll have to buy it and look at the liner notes on the orchestrations, if they even do liner notes anymore. Thanks much for this.
thanks, its primarily keys with some real world recording and vocal sound manipulation stuff to add an 'organic' feel. don't feel guilty, but I do appreciate support in any way you feel you can - either by purchasing the download, sharing on your social media sites, subscribing, etc. I am grateful for any and all of it.
Insane and prepared minds to understand the essence of a great work. The time for poor and weak personalities to leave this reality will soon be over.
What is the name of the VST plugin are you using to create this kind of eerie sounds?
BTW, excellent work as always.
Thanks.
Thanks! I use a couple different DAWs and collect as many free vst as I can. A lot of it I manipulate with fx and I do some real world recording also. One I do own is The Orchestra and also Mystica
"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests."
"All that Danforth has ever hinted is that the final horror was a mirage. It was not, he declares, anything connected with the cubes and caves of echoing, vaporous, wormily honeycombed mountains of madness which we crossed; but a single fantastic, daemoniac glimpse, among the churning zenith-clouds, of what lay back of those other violet westward mountains which the Old Ones had shunned and feared."
"He has on rare occasions whispered disjointed and irresponsible things about “the black pit”, “the carven rim”, “the proto-shoggoths”, “the windowless solids with five dimensions”, “the nameless cylinder”, “the elder pharos”, “Yog-Sothoth”, “the primal white jelly”, “the colour out of space”, “the wings”, “the eyes in darkness”, “the moon-ladder”, “the original, the eternal, the undying”, and other bizarre conceptions; but when he is fully himself he repudiates all this and attributes it to his curious and macabre reading of earlier years. Danforth, indeed, is known to be among the few who have ever dared go completely through that worm-riddled copy of the Necronomicon kept under lock and key in the college library."
H. P. Lovecraft - The Mountains of Madness
Pure poetry. Hopefully I captured some of that in this composition.
the abyss starts calling after the 10 minute mark
I hope that's a good thing...
i'd say it is a good thing. soothing at the very least. seems hard to pinpoint the direction it's coming from... deep below the sea? from outer space? inside or outside? feels like such a direction doesn't even exist. in our dimension at least... in fact i think it's not coming from anywhere, because it already is everywhere, everything, and quite possibly the only thing
The spaces between dimensions. Liminal spaces.
Very cool! I did similar stuff with my Elder Scrolls videos lol
I'll have to check those out
twisted. Is there something slimy following us??
The beginning, at least, reminds me of the Shadow Over Innsmouth.
good observation, as it is a port type of sound environment
Available on podcast ?
I think it was featured on an RPG podcast once
For my own record, I shall speak of the things my team, and I, discovered recently. The horrors that lay hidden in the ice, the antarctic continente is not to be taken lightly.
I assure you, there are periods in the planets history, that could drive you insane if you took the time to look at them in detail.
Let's begin to say that, as a great explorer and scientist, I may not consider myself quite sane, to begin with. Rather I would say that anyone who researches the ancient history of the world, is not completely sane.
Yet... I must speak and admit that, my team and I chose to seal the research that we were working on, not because of lack in funds, but rather because it was extremely dangerous, to us, to humans, to humankind in general. The forces we came upon, the darkness we averted, and cosmic implications we barely knew about.
Yes...
We all barely escaped with our lives, but our minds... Well, that is another tale.
First and foremost, my name is Nathaniel Phillips, and I work, or worked, in the institute for archeological research for 30 years, yet in this last voyage to the antarctic continente, I have seen such horrors, such titanic discoveries that I have left my position in the institute, for fear that my knowledge may bring the Ancients back to our world...
I have seen the unthinkable, I have dreamed of the undreamable, and I have feared for all humankind, that we may be nearing our own extinction.
For the Ancients may be back, and we do not even know of that...
-Excerpt of the novel, Voyages to the Abyss, my own work based on the mountains of madness by H.P Lovecraft-
Is this animated or am I getting mushroom flashbacks?
Deathsticks and spice
How do you make this music?
Lots of fiddling around. In fact I spend more time choosing sounds and effects than actually composing and recording. That being said, I think Dreams in the Witch House is really gonna be something special
@@AltrusianGraceMedia is that an upcoming project?
The next "planned" Psyclopean release. I say that because Celephais was unplanned and just kinda happened as I worked on the witch house
Well guys, is it legal to listen to this and read Dreamcatcher? Or it only applies to his/our father lil' h.p.
From King? I think it could cross over nicely
Someone tried this on Acid?
Poor Danforth just got completely shitmixed.
Ahh, kos... or some say, Kosm.
wish they could make a good film from "mountains of madness". unfortunately, lovecraft's work does not lend itself to what many movie goers expect to see. how do you work a fist fight, a car chase, explosions, gun battles, a comic sidekick and a romance into this story?
Good point but it does have classic cinematic elements minus the romance
Hey, it would definitely work for me...No typical Hollywood tripe to screw it up! But I can dream.... Let's just keep lovecraft out of the cinema.
