You can now get this album on cassette! mushroomkeeprecords.bandcamp.com/album/queen-of-sorcery Limited edition of 50 so get in quick! Thankyou to Mushroom Keep Records for making this happen!
@@WellandJoyceArtistI just found your channel, I wish I had gotten here sooner to snag a cassette. Your music is great to draw too, I’ll be buying the digital discography soon!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that “No AI was used to make this music” note in the description. It sucks we live in a world where it has to be said, but we do, and that reassurance is invaluable.
Let's say if you can't differentiate between AI music and human-made music, how does it matter from a purely artistic and experiential view? (Not considering the obvious downsides of what AI is doing to artists trying to make a living). Sincere question, thanks.
@@noahwig500 In my opinion, because part of the joy of listening to music is the artistic integrity of the musician you know behind it, not just the final, literal sound of waves hitting your ears. From an artistic point of view, art is so much larger than a final product. The process and study of art is so important to the artistic experience. When I go to a museum to look at a painting, I don't go to just see a picture. I go to see the life of the artist breathed into every piece of the artwork and know that they studied for years to be able to get to this point. Same with music, it's a culmination of all of the artist's life experiences and ideas. So maybe a lot of music wouldn't be distinguishable between AI and human. But if you knew it was human, wouldn't the above reasons be good enough to dissuade you from listening to AI music? (it would for me) Even if the music sounded the same objectively, I wouldn't feel very inspired if I knew it was AI music.
Totally agree. I went looking for it. I need the human touch today. Don’t mind AI music if I’m not really paying attention but if I want to get immersed it takes more.
Just want to thank Wizards of Aldur for this inspiring music. I've written more than 30,000 words on early medieval Ireland while listening to it on repeat
It's honestly so welcome. Been making music for years and I'm grateful it's finally gotten some ears on it, also a bonus that this is the one that's blown up :)
This is deep lore, but I actually started music production because of Cryo Chamber. I made a role playing game with my friend when I was 14 (this is over 10 years ago), and we listened to signals while making the game, and it gave me the idea to start making dark ambient music. Thankyou for the kind words it really means a lot.
you may want to listen to the audiobooks by andy serkis or even the unofficial audiobook that incorporates the movie soundtrack along with ambient sounds.
@@WellandJoyceArtist Great way to describe it. I sometime sleep to the audiobooks or have them in the background while i'm cleaning house and other tasks.
Belgariad is one of my favorite comfort reads. Such a fun cast of lovable characters and some really charming humor and lighthearted romance throughout the story.
Oh, cool. I am going to reread the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I really enjoyed the series. I will defintely play this when I am reading them. Great work!
@@scmh1288 I found it in an thrift shop/op-shop and was drawn to the art so gave it a read. The characters and places hit me such that I couldn't help but hear the soundtrack in my head. So I made the albums. Hope you enjoy!
The whole aesthetic of this album is great. Album cover amazing, music is stirring and now I have a new series to read that I didn’t even realize existed until reading the comments. Thank you for making this!!
A Belgariad Synth album? My day is beyond made! Guess this is going to run in loops in my writing sessions and when we play my DnD campaign set in that world! Please, do the rest of the Belgariad and Malloreon! And maybe even the Perils and Tamuli!
God, SO much nostalgia! My dad had me nose-first into this series the moment I could read, and I can still confidently say no one does it like Eddings did. Well done!!
I just wanted to thank you for this. I'm having a rough time, and listening to an album of my favorite genre about my favorite books makes me feel less lonely.
this sounds like the hymns and hums id make when i was younger smooth and calm and made for when you are out exploring in the woods as such i would do and still do
@@amirhussein47 Belgariad, Harry Potter, the Hobbit, I'm a big fan of the Eisenhorn series, when I was younger I liked The Demon Cycle but I haven't read it in a very long time and finally I'm currently reading the first Wheel of Time book which I'm really enjoying. Oh and Dune. I love Dune and Dune Messiah so much. Going to read the third one once I finish this wheel of time book.
This album is a gem, one of the best of this genre I've ever heard. Princess Ce'Nedra is my favorite, very beautiful song. Thank you and hugs from Brazil ♥️🤝
Absolutely delightful. I saw you say you were working on the Malloreon - I’m beyond excited to see how you may interpret my favorites Zakath and the Melcenes.
Update: This album has set the bar so high for me that now I struggle to find another dungeon synth album that hits the same way. Once in a while you come across something that checks all the boxes for you, and then the rest pales in comparison.
Vo Wacune is from the book series by David and Leigh Eddings, specifically the book about the life of the Sorceress Polgara, as this is her favorite city that is SPOILERS destroyed by the Arends I believe. It’s my favorite book series. 😊 Followed closely by the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Edit: just read the rest of song titles and am now a very happy subscriber. 😊
So glad I could make your day better my friend. Stay positive! I'm glad music can be a glimmer for you in dark times. It has helped me through many and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
No lazy MIDI, actual synthesization and effort in this one, goes through many moods, a feeling lacking in many more albums. This is proper dungeon synth that transports me into the world of wizards and barbarians. Really good, i have a lot of respect for your work and effort. If I could offer a single critique is that i wished the melodies were less repeating. They are all strong and you vary them, but i think there is room for improvement. This is my personal take, I know some people really like the repetitive nature of it and in the end I trust this choice was deliberate and trust me you have every right to be happy and proud with your work in every way.
Thankyou friend. I appreciate the praise. I could try some less repetitive composition, but to be honest it's been how I've always composed music, all the way back to my original music over 10 years ago. My favourite artists are also quite repetitive too like Deadmau5, Aindulmedir, Fogweaver and so on. I do have less repetitive compositions, but it is I think just part of my personality when it comes to producing. I say this because I have tried to produce less repetitive music and it often comes out bad, so I think I'm just pushing up hill on that one. Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful comment, I appreciate your support.
Thankyou man. I'm glad you have found some new music to enjoy :) Dungeon Synth is a great genre. If you like my stuff I think you'd like Umbria, Arath and LANDSRAAD. All great artists.
I love this. Today’s been really rough but this was a treasure in it. Thanks for sharing your gifts! Just purchased the album on iTunes. Happy new year! 🎆

@@lamhamzzzzzz or he could listen to my music
Perhaps you should listen to it while reading the actual Queen of Sorcery novel. Love the music btw
@@preshrunk_cyberpunk5479 oh I didn't know that there was a book. I'll check on it!
Any music based on the world of the Belgariad is automatically great.
I can't belive I found music based off the Belgariad. My favorite series. I've reread it more times than I can remember.
It is a lovely series. Like comfort food.
It’s my fav too 😊
@@WellandJoyceArtist Great way to describe it. I sometime sleep to the audiobooks or have them in the background while i'm cleaning house and other tasks.
Never thought I'd find an Eddings-inspired synth project. TH-cam is full of surprises :D
Fantasy synth used to be THE music for video games 😊❤
HAIL BELGARION. KING OF KINGS! REMEMBER THAT MARTJE WAS THE FIRST TO GREET THEE, WHEN THOU COMST INTO THY INHERITANCE
Was not expecting to come across an album in a favourite style inspired by a favourite series. Made my day, thank you so much
No worries! I'm glad it could make you happy!
Belgariad is one of my favorite comfort reads. Such a fun cast of lovable characters and some really charming humor and lighthearted romance throughout the story.
Absolutely. That's what made me fall in love with it.
wish i could forgot every books just to be able to read them for the first time again
Comfort read for sure. I don’t know how many times I’ve restarted the series trying to recapture that feeling of reading it for the first time.
I love the picture
This would be perfect for a session in our DnD campaign. I dig it
I've been using this one for that purpose for the last 5 session I did , it's amazing for dungeons or dark feywild scenes
dungeon synth is pretty much designed for that.
Oh, cool. I am going to reread the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I really enjoyed the series. I will defintely play this when I am reading them. Great work!
Art is what ties us back to our soul.
It is a breath of fresh water for the senses...💧🌊🌦️
not even 30 seconds in and i could already tell this was a keeper
Dude, thankyou that means a lot!
I just stopped studying when The Towering Swamp Willows started. Simply magical, thank you for creating this
