When I was a kid, a crazy guy I worked with told me a story about a house in his old neighborhood that he believed had demonic activity. He described seeing things like animals walking upright, things floating on their own, and "indescribable music." He harped (no pun intended) on that music quite a bit, saying that it was deeply disturbing, and unlike anything he'd ever heard before.
Looking back on it, I wonder if his neighbors were just Penderecki enthusiasts.

I can't believe he's gone...

This great composer died today. On an other place together with a little woman I really loved. They will united in heaven and I will never forget both of them.
God bless you!
got this playing while doing trivial daily things. It makes life more thrilling
Way to make doing laundry feel like the apocalypse
@@danieln6613 holy shit, never expected to find you here, awesome!
no offense, but with the music and seeing your prof pic, it made me stpp the vid. Don't take this negatively, your beautiful, but a woman figure so....
It's perfect for when the kids are writing letters to Santa.

The way Penderecki applies the sheer depth and magnitude of sound one can achieve with an orchestra to capture existential, pants-shitting dread is absolutely flawless. hearing this from the first row of a concert at volumes that seem like they'll flay the skin off your head must be incredible.
Classical concerts aren’t particularly loud.
@@FEAROWNAGE it depends on who is conducting.
@@FEAROWNAGE I have been to some that reached the threshold of pain.
Even better from the last row. The sound is mixed better
You see, if you wrote a classical music column in a popular daily, people would read it. And I mean that as a compliment.
perfect for studying
Caillouteletub123 I laughed way to hard
bruh
Sarcasm aside, I actually do find this pretty helpful for studying. Less dissonant music tends to distract me too much. This, however, has so many non-standard progressions and tonalities that I find it much easier to not focus entirely on it... if that makes sense.
I find ambient music, or just atmospheric instrumentals to help
Interesting comment....
I am very happy I invested in a very expensive sound system. This is incredible
Yes, you cannot properly appreciate this kind of art without the right listening device.
whenever i listen to Penderecki, I get the satisfication of asphyxiation...
RIP Erin S.
stay alive if you can before u done
It's pretty insane when you think about how music like this is made with traditional instruments
Maybe that's one reason Zappa respected his work?
Is it? The orchestra can do much more than many give it credit for. After 2-3 hundred of years of classical and romantic "hits" the early 20th century orchestra accomplished some unwelcome sounds (think of Stravinsky, Milhaud and Webern just to name three).
jcfar: You nailed it. An orchestra can create the weirdest, darkest, scariest sounds one could imagine. You can't go that far with synthesizers, not even close! Orchestral sounds are priceless.
Asshole-in-Chief 100% especially the organ as well to bach horror music is the best most emotionally eerie music ever made next to Penderecki
Listen to the music Trauma by Arca it is terryfing.
This mood is overwhelmingly eerie. This is totally different from what I expected from the title. And I don't mind it at all.
The first piece I ever heard from Penderecki was his cello concerto. The man was a genius RIP
this music takes you to a different world
Thanks to CZcams I believe we are starting to achieve a better acceptance and respect for contemporary music
The most terrifying moment is at 7:05. A major chord is struck amongst all that dissonance, and within it is encapsulated the wonder and horror of the cosmos
It gave me goosebumps and I literally cried.
@@GlennGo0uld Same here
Classical music is not just about listening to works from long dead composers.
Its about emotion
@Mark Donald Penderecki was still alive when this comment was posted.
Maybe you've have heard Corigliano, MacMillan, Tavener or Carl Vine
Holy shit, the vocals were the most haunting thing I've ever heard
Indeed, yes. I heard this live (not by Kronos) around 1969-70 in Hawai'i. Somewhat unsettling; but I suspect the composer may have wished for the listener to be at least a bit shaken.
Listen to “Aghartha” by Sunn 0))), there’s a section of that song with similarly distressing vocals.
I finally found the style of a composer I was looking for all my life....Thanks to shcoenberg, shostakovich and Stravinsky for guiding me along this path. I can rest now!
I found its by Frank Zappa
Took the same path to get here ! with a little help of the shining ost. :)
@@pbpitko185 you're so weird 🤨
:-)
What about Ligeti?
This portraits exactly the coldness, powerful hostility to every life form of space itself. The sky may look beautiful and transcending but that's just an appearance. When you have an entire void filled with solar wind, gamma ray bursts, black holes, rocks that are going a few times faster than a bullet then this music is suitable for that image.

@@arionthedeer7372 Sorry, I'm not a native speaker of english.
@@petrut.1224 It's fine. Your English is very good.
@@petrut.1224 You nailed it (in great english too)
Insightful. Never thought of that.
This music is more terrifying to listen to than most modern horror films are to watch
Music is like a parallel universe that can inspire us with joys, fears, sorrows but, contrary of images, it does'nt inspire neuroses who eat our reality !
IT is nothing compared to this. Try listening alone at night hahah
weak argument. most modern horror films are shit.
I think KP would feel the above observation of "ponytailjones" was spot-on. I hope people here are familiar with Penderecki's Dies Irae, written as a memorial to the victims of the Auschwitz death camp.
very ligeti or scelci
6:50 That might be the most apocalyptic thing I've ever heard. Fantastic.
RIP, maestro!
Dad told me " go and listen to panderecki, then show it to your mother and tell her that you will listen to this kind of music. Im sure, she will never told you something bad about metal music you listen to"
Do u liek Wolfganch Armenia Metzort?

Nieźle
😂
yes, that's right! all horror sounds in one place)))
😱😱😱
I was looking at "cosmology-themed" orchestral works and this piece was mentioned in one online article. Somehow, even though tension and dissonance are almost constant, the work produces a unique, terrifying, but beautiful art experience !!! I think that is what I like in the modernist works of not only Penderecki, but in those of Lutoslawski and Ligeti too (some of Crumb's and Takemitsu as well) !!!
That big major chord just strikes you right in the heart after so much dissonance. It feels so powerful, and then it slowly maddens into more of the atonal stuff. Love it! 💫
jedna z najlepszych rzeczy Pendereckiego. W mojej szkole muzycznej byla to "lektura obowiazkowa"
Tak, genialnie oddał w tym dziele chaos powstania wszechświata.
Jacyś sadyści w tej szkole uczyli, bo tego się nie da słuchać. Jeżeli to jedna z najlepszych jego rzeczy, to nie chcę usłyszeć reszty :)
RIP Penderecki...
WOW. Just WOW. There are no words for the masterpiece that is this music. WOW.
WTF would be a good start. I love the weird side of music. Seeing it performed is astounding.
Just found out about penderecki by listening to cello concerto no.1 and absolutey loving his music
It's like that music that I always loved to hear but never knew what to type to find it
This is pure Aether. Some string harmonics are beyond divinity - a masterpiece.
This music sounds like it came out of the darkest regions of the human mind.
Ramces Gonzalez you can tell by the way that it is.
Or out at the furthest depths of space.
True..... there seems to be something 'evil' in it, something about processes that are entirely inhuman and alien, and that humans better avoid.
If you stay quiet long enough, you will hear it in yourself.
I'd say it came out an enlightened and brilliant mind. Maestro Penderecki.
A remarkable piece and performance, Exhibiting a wonderful style of an alternative approach,
This guy is the Sun Ra of classical music, Penderecki you are inspiring thank you.
Yea! Another Sun Ra fan.
All is as it is and always will be.
All is
As it is
And always has been
And always will be.
There was no beginning
There will be no end.
I am part of that eternity
I always will be.
Everything changes
But remains the same.
In order, there is only chaos
In chaos only order.
Destruction creates.
Creativity destroys.
Yet all remains as was,
As is and always will be.
Passive, impartial.
The greatest piece of existence is the minutest piece of me.
The minutest piece of the Universe is the most immense within me.
I am no one
Yet I am everyone.
I love, I die,
I hate, I cry.
I continue onward forever
As I have traveled always.
Who can know the way?
Only the Great Light directs us.
Most eximious.
Reference?
Where is it from?
Vonnegut?
the picture of the galaxy went eerily well with the song. Incredible song!
Agreed!
It's not as "song".
It's like "Threnody" ObscureAuteur.
The ending where the choir is breathing in and out and diminuendos is genius
This is amazing to me. It brings joy to my heart. Beauty!

When we finally leave the womb of our Blue Sphere and venture beyond it we will have to abandon any thoughts about a sympathetic universe. It may be beautiful in places but it is a limitless expanse of unimaginable indifference. Limitless beyond any previous estimations.
don't ever breach the darkness for you will hear
Chaos, confusion, explosions, sudden oblivion, this is an intense work. A bunch of people performed this.
Stanley Kubrick must have listened to this while making 2001 a space odyssey. the scope of this is so vast, so beyond description. and it has a nice beat and i can dance to it.
I thought the same thing. It give me 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes. If there ever is a remake they should use this soundtrack.
Though not this piece specifically, a bunch of other Penderecki music was used in The Shining. Fantastic use of it I have to say. So Kubrick was more than aware of this man and his music.
Might be hard considering that this was made in 1970 and 2001: A Space Odyssey was made in 1968
Didn’t Ligeti compose some works for 2001 a space odyssey? That might be what you’re hearing
@@excuseyou7198 yes, Atmosphères
Pure intensity.Mindbending.

what do you think of the new singles from QOTSA?
The galaxy is NGC 1300. But most of you already knew that.
ObscureAuteur ... I did. The unique spiral arms was a give away. Easy.🌙
Yes, in Eridanus. The best SB-type example.
Yes sure 😅
I thought it was M51
Goes without saying
Perfect music to go insane in lockdown to.
Krzysztof Penderecki is a master in aleatoric composition.
But this is not aleatoric
...and aleatoric is not composition
I didnt know Penderecki. Sensational!
Clearly, Penderecki was thinking way outside of the Pythagorean theorem.
Pure relentless intensity.
If you like this try Penderecki's "Utrenja" for a mind-blowing experience
Many people feels that space is scary,to me the mystery and the unexplained can never be scary,it's marvellous
Everybody gangsta until Oxigen Tank No 2 explodes
Lovecraft would approve, I guess
Exactly what I was thinking.
Existential horror needs to make a comeback - and if it does, it needs to be scored by Penderecki.
The Music of Erich Zann, er I mean Krzysztof Penderecki
Well, seems like David Lynch heard this request!
Read some contemporary horror authors. Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron, that sort of thing.
İts really flawless.
The chord at 14:47 is mind bogglingly horrifying. Just makes me want to gouge out my eyes, stab my ear drums, rip it my tongue all at once. I don't understand it. Great!
You watched Event Horizon before typing this comment, didn’t you?
@@FEAROWNAGE lol
Maybe the Event Horizon crew heard this and...
Great music.Young, sonoristic penderecki was a genius!
so beautiful
I actually entered a composition competition in honor of Penderecki in 2020.
Thanks for posting, amazing to finally hear another interpretation after the original lp.
Thank you for your comment.

Protip, do NOT listen to this while tripping.
Gweilo Xiu - especially if lsd
On the contrary. Then you get it !
Oh I already did that, back in the 90s.
you coward!
That sounds like a fantastic idea. You'll be flying high over purplish outer hell's partying hard with Mandelbrot fractalizing daemons.
i accidentally discovered his music , back in 1983 ... as a polish university teacher came to visit my father and offered him " te deum lacrimosa " my dad never got that music , but i gave it a chance , as i was barely fifteen and nowadays i realize even more , his creative genius !!!
I think this is one of the best intense pieces that Penderecki did, sometimes I feel like threnody is better, but I like the cosmic horror this one gives off
wonderful !!!!!!! thanks !!!!!!
A very interesting score by Penderecki before his conversion to neo-romanticism. Some indices of stylistic changes are nevertheless perceptible, but it is impossible to guess where they will led the composer, and certainly not in that future direction. It seems rather to bring him into the general trends of many "progressist" composers of that time.
Wow. What a trip that was🌙
Fun :-)
que grande pieza, muchas gracias por esta publicación :D lm/
Rest in Peace
14:59 scared the absolute crap out of me!
Ceci est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est comme un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière noire
This is the breath of Shiva, destroyer of worlds
I first listened to Penderecki in my 20’s when I heard he won European Music awards, I loved his music, a secret unknown is Kosmogonia in 1970 for chorus and orchestra, on vinyl is was a show stopper. I have a considerable Penderecki collection, now he is gone, his music will live with me until the day I die.
Ło matko różne człowieki są na ten świat.
thank you!
A faceless horror slinking through the darkness, peaking through your window.
Brilliant Piece! However, Its strange I never hear of anyone speaking about Giacinto Scelsi... Well whatever, still a great composer!
Scelsi is absolutely brilliant! One of the most underrated composers. If you name-drop him amongst the crowd, you're bound to have most people not know who he is, even amongst those that are fans of avant-garde/experimental artists, and the gurus of electronic music and this whole world. Scelsi is massively underrated!
From what I've seen, he is not too unknown in such communities but he is indeed very rarely spoken about despite having many great works.
The sound of madness in space.
Space is a terrifying place, this music is an ideal accompaniment .
It feels in outerspace!
Helps me fall asleep.
I need new words to describe . . . Thank you
penderecki est un compositeur de génie ,, sa musique est profonde , mystèrieuse fascinante , un voyage dans les tréfonds de la matière du cosmos et dans les méandres de l'âme et de l'esprit humains ,, les voix viennent approfondir ,les ténèbres que propagent des sont savamment éclatés réduits à un état subatomique trop hermétique à l'esprit humain , il peut en résulter une alchimie , une déduction de la présence divine et comme pour la vision d'une toile abstraite c'est à l'auditeur de pressentir les énergies vitales et les fluides susceptibles d'innerver la matière primitive , l'avant bing bang , les équations infinies qu'il reste à résoudre et comme beaucoup d'auditeurs je regrette que penderecki ne soit pas plus souvent au répertoire des grandes soirées de concert , pour des raisons qu'il n'est pas très difficiles d'appréhender ,, merci pour le partage
I guess all we here also share a common love for Scriabin, Ligeti and the Yamashiro Art Orchestra.
This is a master work.
Raczej szatańskie.
@@Jolanta3818 This goes beyond any religion or nonreligion bullshit. To me, this is pure beauty, chaos, and sonic fractal. :) No gods, no masters, except Penderecki. Ha!
@@TadDoylemusic this peace is about bigining of the universe in chaos.
From the research ship on the surface above, the order was given, and the R.O.V. switched on its powerful floodlights and the true scale of the ruins of the ancient seafloor city came into view! A collective gasp arose on the research ships above as the French and Russian crews took in the staggering sight, hidden away for 5,000 years under 3-miles of deep Atlantic seawater, in the darkness of the Abyssopelagic ocean layer. Rows upon rows of statues of what looked like angelic figures with strange disc-shaped head dresses lined the south side of the vast arena, whose porcelain or tile floor still looked fairly smooth after 5,000 of submergence under 3 miles of dark water. It was terrifying to behold: numerous figures in martial combat postures were frozen in place all over the ancient coliseum. Were they stone statues or actual ancient specimens of men and giants, petrified by ocean sediments? And if so, how were they frozen into place? It was the eeriest thing any of them had ever seen. There was an immediate call for censorship of this starkly terrifying artifact from any submerged reconnaissance and sattelite radar mapping. This dark secret, it was agreed, must NOT be made known to the world above, but rather left quietly undisturbed in all its megalithic antediluvian repose. Perhaps some ancient secrets were better left... undisturbed
Well done, haha, that's some vivid writing there!
that's the kind of imagery my i picture when i listen to Pendedecki or Bartok
Definitely fits.
I thought you were reading something off H.P. Lovecraft for a second.
At the mountains of madness" was the greatest sensory-descriptive short story by Lovecraft
whoever listens to it, on your knees
R.I.P.
When you think of space in orchestral music, what songs come to mind? Maybe, "buhhh, buhhh, buhhh, BAH BAH!" from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Well, I personally think Kosmogonia is the most accurate depiction of outer space. Like Kosmogonia's random bells, chimes, and hissing drums, you may feel very insignificant and afraid once you realize just how vast and weird and unknown the rest of the universe is.
Whatta guy!!!!!!!
is it weird i find this relaxing
No, it is not. It is very therapeutic.
The musicians composer.
That chorus with the huge brass behind it sounds massive. Chills.
Great work!
absolut genial !!!
Kosmogonia dates from before the radical changes of the art of Penderecki towards a post-wagnerian aesthetics.
As soon as I put this on it feels like there’s someone behind me
Obra fantástica da fase contemporânea mais radical de Penderecki; Possui recursos sonoros surrealistas de coral, extensa percussão e vozes solistas estratosféricas, que somente veremos em poucos autores como Gyorgy Ligety. Antoni Wit é um consagrado regente de obras clássicas e nos surpreende com seu talento em mais essa fabulosa interpretação.
rest in peace scary music man :'(
How to have goosebumps for 18 minutes: Close your eyes while listening to this
Music of the twentieth second century - you join with the Maestro's offering from the future…
It makes you want to go insane
Shattering stuff! You're never the same after Penderecki.
