Negative Spectrum - The Darkness inside Me

[Negative Spectrum]

Some of you may be aware that I have been battling clinical depression for many years, I had never touched on this in my music before but recently after completing The Orchid Fades and the songs for my Halloween project, i found i just kept writing. There are no orchestral elements this time, this is pitch black ambient. I don't know if the process was cathartic but it was good to write them.

hey man, great album, listening to it as we speak.. Nice dark and gloomy sounds.. frightening by while, but that was your purpose I suppose ;-)

You are the most prolific artist in dark ambient / orchestral score music today. No joke man! Really excited for you and everyone else on your new label.

Another solid Neg Spec release! Congrats.

[Negative Spectrum]

Wow S1gns, Thank you for the kind words.

[Thought Experiment]

Another album? Already? And releasing albums by other artists (ahem :o) at the same time? I don't know how you do it, man - are you cloning yourself up there in Dundee? :rotf:

This is some very deep music - I really hope it proves to be cathartic for you, sometimes I think we don't realize ourselves how much of our souls we reveal in our music. Keep battling, Mikael :rockon:

Impressive work! I followed you on soundcloud too.

I know how the battle with clinical depression goes, i've been fighting that for nearly a decade. I just got off my medication recently (Effexxor Evil evil shit..) and feel like I have alot of catching up to do.

I hope yours improves! Music is a incredible form of medication..

Thank you for the comments and the follow. Iv'e been fighting depression and suicidal thoughts for more years than I care to remember and it never seems to get easier, my family and music are all I have.

wow, this album is pretty dark and quite beautiful in a way...it's humbling. Stay strong, man! Much support here

Mikael, I think it is always a good thing to create from the emotions within, whatever they may be. I can trace my anxiety disorder way back to first grade school. When it really started to get bad back in the '80s my writing became darker. When the doctors wanted to prescribe meds that didn't help much, I found my therapy in music, mountain biking, hiking and meditation. I discovered natural herb remedies. And I decided I would not let my demons take me. And it worked. There are still times where I create dark pieces every now and then...I still acknowledge there are down days....but that's life, and the fact that I'm getting older.

That said, you are my fav' dark ambient composer and, even tho' I have to use the local wi-fi outlets sporadicly, I try to check in when I can. I meant to get your albums earlier but a work related setback (poverty) has extended the wait. But very soon, I promise!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and support guys. It really means a lot to me that people appreciate my music even though I don't get it, to me it's just what I do.
