How to buy this audio for TH-cam license
As a Chinese, I never heard this piece of music before.
Actually, this music is composed by Antti Martikainen, an independent composer from Finland. I think he has grabbed the essence of the classical Chinese music. Bravo!
I used to overlooked the drum in chinese music, now I find it great just as it in the africa and western music.
drums and taiko can make a hell of a music alone, imagine with so much more instruments backing them up
Antti makes mass produces crap every work he does sounds the same
@@vargenfenrisson1164 vargen stop vargening like that...
@@vargenfenrisson1164 Splish splash your opinion is trash.
I'm a chinese girl and i think that is awsome when the chinese traditional instrument combined with western instrument:) I'm totally fall in love with it:)
Do they teach English in China as like a required course? Because I'm seeing a lot of Chinese people in the comments, including you, who speak English way better than most Americans speak Chinese.
Words are so kind to make you ~Fall in love❤
But.......................at the end it doesn't even matter
Yes, we are taught English in China! It is required in most, if not all schools to have an English course. 🙂@@jeremyfrost2636
A game called Command and conquer generals has an amazing chinese soundtrack. You should check it out it really is top tier featuers western elements. The game was banned in China.
@@jeremyfrost2636Yes, China teaches English starting at 3rd grade through high school
I was Chinese before listening to this.
Now I'm a panda.

I really love this! Epic Chinese music is just amazing. :)
Thank you Derek! I really appreciate it coming from you.
Hey jou koud make more Japanse and Chinese Music

Or you could say it's... epic
Derek!
If Disney makes a live version of Mulan, they gotta ask you to be the composer !
Now, the live action is coming out in 2020!😁
I hope they'll putting music like this, because if not it won't be epic enough😱
It’s going to release soon! They already showed a Mulan Trailer! Sadly Disney announced that Mushu wouldn’t be there.

It was garbage
Chinese dragon is awaked. Nation with great culture.
china will rule the world
李晓峰 are you chinese? i wanna learn chinese
Great culture ? China's culture was killed by the Cultural Revolution :)
@@kickneas Chinese culture would never be killed ，no matter how much damage it caused by the past
@李晓峰 你you讲的say it太too轻松easy了，中文Chinese语法grammar简单easy但but学learn每一个every字word很very难hard。拼音pronunciation甚至even更难harder
This music conquers the world.
I'm from Finland. Strictly speaking that's not Scandinavian but it's close enough :)
Though your songs are really educating most people waste a lot of time on the internet researching about these glorious cultures but they could learn more from listening to your songs about these cultures
@Azreal Cinder yup sure you can research all you want the world's become a smaller place that's to internet and yes these songs give you a vivid picture of whichever culture they're based on so good luck knowing your culture
Alright
Chinese music is beautiful and relaxing so good and epic
check the ancient greek music too,i think you'll love it
I make my iguana listen to this
Now it is a Dragon
Ahahaha good listening Kostas.

My dog listened to this, now he is Cerberus

Fitting music for the Avatar series.
Listening to while answering an Exam = FREAKIN INTENSE
It went well?
Don't you mean the IMPERIAL EXAM???
"I've heard a great deal about you Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinesse army, destroyed my palace AND... You have saved us all!!" 💓 I can't stop thinking of Mulan when listening to this amazing piece, she is my favorite Disney character, love you warrior princess! ♥️☯️
Cultural inclusiveness and military strength are two major advantages for Chinese agricultural Civilisation. Through history, you only see the Chinese territory expand because people join in the Chinese people. Chinese identity is based on cultural identity, not ethnicity. In fact, Chinese are descendants of many different ethnic groups in history. These ethnic groups' record eventually disappeared from history, because they all assimilate together and become our great ancestors.
lichwind exactly! China always was a multiethnic empire probably as far back as the Xia dynasty, but definitely so in Imperial times from Qin Shi Huang onwards. This is one of the things that I, as a westerner, find most fascinating about China - that it stayed united for milenia in spite of many dynastic changes, civil wars, a Mongol invasion and as of late even devastating Western imperialist wars (opium or boxer rebellion) and Japanese invasion, being a multiethnic empire of dozens/hundreds of peoples throughout all this time! (I also find impressive how many ancient traditions it's kept alive from Confucius's three kingdoms period philosophy to even older gods and mythology) Frankly China is living proof to altright and nationalist idiots that ethnocentrism is bullshit and that a great country takes strength from a multiethnic background, as opposed to being hindered by it...
Vict0r1984 Your statements contradict themselves. China had thousands of years of history, and the many sub-groups of China have lived amongst each other for millennia. In addition to this, China is an enormous country, both in terms of geographical size and population. In contrast take Germany, now Germany (historically speaking) has also had a variety of sub-groups. From Bavarians to Prussians. Said groups felt connected by their German blood, yet at the same still represented their own individual groups. Hell, Bavarian soldiers utterly refused to defend 'Prussian' land during the Great War, because why would a Bavarian care to defend Prussia? Take into consideration that Germany is a multitude times smaller than China. Now as for your statements about the 'Alt-Right' and 'Nationalist Idiots' I have a few points to make:
1. As you said, the Chinese peoples have lived amongst each other for millennia, the same cannot be said of the English and say, the Mali peoples. Whereas the Manchu and Han and Yue have remained relatively united for thousands of years, the Italians, for example, share literally no connection with the Bantu of Sub-Saharan Africa. They share no Cultural, Linguistic, nor Genetic connection with one another, the majority of Bantu and Italians don't even belong to the same Haplogroup.
2. No country that is entirely within Europe (therefore excluding the Russian Federation) can even remotely match China in size. Even then, there have been a multitude of migrations into Europe in the past 2,000 years alone. Ever heard of the Dacians? The Illyrians? The Sami? The Iberians? These people were replaced by larger ethnic groups that migrated across Europe. The Dacians were at first absorbed by the Romans, however modern studies reveal that many modern Romanains belong to the R1a haplogroup, hinting that plenty of ancient Dacians were absorbed by the Slavic tribes migrating into the Balkans. The Illyrians had a similiar fate, the Sami still exist to a lesser extent in northern Finland. And finally the Iberians were absorbed by the Italic peoples. This is fairly common throughout European history, which is why Europe displays such a large amount of Genetic diversity. (Moslty within the R Haplogroup)
3. It's Ironic that you say 'Nationalist Idiots' when the Republic of Tawain is the remnant of the Chinese Nationalist.
4. Many empires based off of Ethnocentrism (that are similiar in size to modern European countries) existed in ancient times. The Semitic peoples, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians, dominated ancient Mesopatamia for thousands of years.
In summary, just because European countries are smaller, and therefore display less cultural variety, does not mean that Europe should simply allow foreign cultures to 'Saturate' their own. The amount of Culture displayed in Europe is actually quite proportionate to China, once you consider that Europe has never been completely united like China has. You'd be surprised, the Genetic differences between Russians and Bulgarians, Frenchmen and Bavarians, and even Spaniards and the Irish, are quite smaller then you likely are willing to believe.

Bad ass music

Welcome to Basingsei!
Debbie Palicdon the Impenetrable City! *Dai Lee theme plays*
This song is unreasonably badass.
yup
Glad you like it ;)
Love your music.
no wonder Asian armies in movies arr badass
Fuck off we take honor too seriously
JUST PERFECT! TO ALL WHO LOVE CHINESE GREAT CULTURE AND PRACTICE MARTIAL ARTS DEDICATED. LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART AND STRENGHTEN THY FIGHTING SPIRIT! THANKS SO MUCH ANTTI - IT IS SUPER PLEASURE TO HEAR THY MUSIC.
This music is just intoxicating. No wonder the Chinese mastered warfare and nationality before most of our societies even existed. This kinda music just makes you want to climb a mountain or punch your way through one, although good luck with that one :P
THAT is what I call an epic song!
MCNatel Sorry to ruin your history lesson here but Genkhis Khan was from the Mongolian Empire. The largest but very short lived empire that ever existed. It stretched from the borders of China (at that time I guess The Great Wall) all the way to the middle of Europe. The only reason why Europe was spared was because their Khan died so they retreated to choose a new one.
MCNatel I had just a hint of Asian history but why did you mentioned Genghis Khan in such a way as if you were saying that he was the ruler of China.
Atristiel He was ... Well atleast most of it
MCNatel Territory, not the empire itself.
MCNatel Genghis never ruled china, his grandson ruled china
You know, it is amazing how you always give me the best gifts as you upload the best tracks on my birthday.
Happy birthday 7x
I can't really thank you enough! I practice kung fu for years and I never found a really good song to listen while training. But this, THIS IS PERFECT!!! I LOVE IT!
漁陽鼙鼓動地來
驚破霓裳羽衣曲
九重城闕煙塵生

"The thrumming of war drums shake the earth,
the feathered steps and heavenly notes of consort Yang is shattered.
Clouds of dust billows from behind the palace gates,
as ten thousand warriors and a thousand steeds rides to war."
安史之乱，大唐山河破碎
Wow! What a coincidence, I just downloaded FL Studio a few days ago. I was kind of doubting it's abilities until now! Great work, loved it!
It has nothing to do with the abilities of FL studio, because you can make this stuff with any sequencer that supports virtual instrument plugins. However, the abilities of the virtual instruments themselves are important :)
Heard this in an advertisement for a Chinese artifact exhibition in South Africa.
"epic terracotta armies fighting ancient dragons"
maybe you havent realized that in chinese culture dragons are symbols of divinity/emperor/light/god to be revered/exalted and not fought?
OR MAYBE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HASN'T REALIZED THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS MUSIC MORE EXCITING?
*EPIC !!!*
Just gorgeous.
Herran kiitos, että joku tekee tällästä musiikkia! Mä en kestä nykyajan sontaa, mitä muut nuoret kuuntelee. Siunausta
Always beautiful still listening to this Epic Chinese music since 2015. Truly Forbidden. Unparalleled Anttii.
Goddamn this is some legendary shit
Wow!
This is amazing!

You should consider composing for a movie!
I can smoothly create an Asian-style artwork thanks to this music.
In a battle piece as a whole, I can see you use everytime a part that is more more quiet and is rather related to the culture the music is based on, a part that describes one kind of brave warrior in particular, a warrior with his unique character, and I like discovering that particular being.
This will be in a movie for sure if it isn't already, this music piece has taken me to an old far away forgotten land, where a Mystical Reality awaits...
I would love to hear more Epic Chinese music from you!
My god, I am in love with this track. Well done, my friend. The combination of the epic tones with chinese traditional music (the closest I can think of is Russell Brower's Mists of Pandaria) is so amazing.
I clicked like because it's indeed epic.
Beautiful
