They met at the age of 15 and are still working together, almost 20 years later. CBL itself was formed in 1996, as an offshoot from other projects, but soon became their focal point, culminating in their first release on mp3.com in 1998.
It is hard to categorise CBL’s music but the best description might be that of a groundbreaking mixture of acid, techno and trance music. The term acid/ambient has also been coined.
CBL signed with the celebrated Lyon-based Ultimae Records in 2002 and have since released five full-length albums (Hydroponic Garden in 2003, World of Sleepers in 2006, Interloper in 2010, VLA and Twentythree in 2011) and an EP (Irdial in 2008). All releases have been extraordinarily well received by connoisseurs within the ambient scene.
Additionally they have actively participated in successful collaborations with several artists, including Magnus Birgersson of Solar Fields in a project to compose the music for the Swedish dancer Olof Persson’s "Fusion" performance in 1999.
Johannes often creates the building blocks of sounds and harmonies and could tweak sounds forever, whereas Daniel develops the rhythms and sculpts the ideas into tracks. It remains unclear which of them derives the greatest pleasure from manipulating the distinctive, squelching sounds of the Roland TB-303.
Through this synergy of ideas, their aim is to combine earth and space in their music. Daniel and Johannes use the combination of nature and technology as the main inspiration for their work. They like to represent both the positive and negative effects that this collaboration can lead to, including the negative impact that incorrect technology can have on the environment. The genius of CBL’s music is that it suits any occasion.
Their creativity occasionally spills over into what become ‘new’ projects. The results can be enjoyed by listening to releases from Thermostatic and Digidroid, as well as Daniel’s own SYNC24, which is the result of sudden impulses of inspiration, giving room for his personal reflections.
The music often seems to reflect the natural landscape of its land of inception; indeed if you listen to "Photosynthesis" on the World of Sleepers album then you find yourself feeling genuine concern for the forests. Given the source of the quotation in the song, perhaps this is the point. If so, it’s a damned good one and epitomizes the aim of the group in pricking the conscience when it comes to something as critical as the environment.

This is my "calm down" song. I have a severe anxiety disorder so when I feel a panic attack coming on, I go outside and listen to this song while quietly observing nature. It really helps me "come down" when I feel like I'm floating above my body. Thank you, Carbon Based Lifeforms. You have greatly helped my health over the years <3

IronUfoger Are you talking about what I think you’re talking about?

For me too. In emotional level this song is my home.

I know it's been a few years, but I heard something about generalized anxiety that might help:
"Generalized anxiety presence of some form of predation in your life. Someone is exploiting you, using you or standing between you and your dreams. You have a danger in your life that you have not acted on in an active way. Do your scan for people who are hostile, who are undermining you, who aren't enthusiastic for what it is you want to do with your life or who you are not enthusiastic to support"

Hey, you should listen to Stellardrone too. His best album for me is Stellardrone -Airglow. His music is incredible and so calm, it will help you to calm.

This song literally saved my life during a high blood pressure attack. Listing to this song calms me down and helps me fall asleep. The bass line is priceless.

When you go on vacation, to a place you have never been before, play a carbon based lifeform song while you drive. Atleast twice a day or more. Use the same song, and when you hear the song again, that spot will spot will pop up in your mind. For me this is song reminds me of Maui, Hawaii :)
Michal Sas Tymowski
I always play that in Bali at night! This one is sooo deep.
Alp Çelebi
That's a great idea man.
