Cyclic Law offers incredible ambients... I also love that they actually sell occult books from beyond EU, which makes it easier for me to buy them.

I also found their site through both ways on accident - once through books and occult zines, one through the group Sutekh Hexen (that I found through their collaboration with Trepaneringsritualen) and Saala o Sakraal. The projects they mostly offer there all have a real occult connection, thats what makes them great I guess. A very acquired taste these guys have & it fits perfectly.A dream of a business to run (at least from the contents, I hope it's worth it for them). Makes me want to get one of the occult music zines again, that unfortunately activates the collector in me just like fringe limited releases of dungeon synth/other weird genre cassette tapes </3

I'm glad when I do 2 hours but you just did put down an idea that will keep tempting me... especially with these awesome videos.

Maybe the one I shared with the crackling fire in the background, while having the drone ambient is the way to go for
long sessions of focus. An idea could be to listen to 2 things at once - like another natural sounds video that is relaxing,
combined with the drone loops that can get a little intense after a while.

I guess setting timers for breaks can really help too,
the more radical approach would be to even do the monk style thing with 45 min focus, 15 pause,
or tweak these to for example 90 min and 30 min etc.

I'm currently experiencing the lack of pauses, doing some physical exercise in between seems like a good idea.

When going more extreme on some days I for example went into nature to enjoy the weather afterwards
and wanted to read but realized I couldn't.
Same applied to a full off-day on the lake - I just "was" and that was what I needed.

But I scribbled around and created a nice logo, so that was the best I could have done :)

Damn yeah! I love to combine videos. My favorite combo is Lothlorien ambient and thunderstorm. I also used to combine 2 sound.files from Worms 3D demo, one was arctic wind, the other was game music.

It can really deepen the experience. And right on spot with timers. I have excellent mp3 player in phone, where I can set the time before the player just stops playing, or I can use common timer. (sound of sonar is not that loud or anything, but I notice it.)

I might try something once I get enough of time and solitude.
