I don't disagree on how cool that is but to be fair, unless you're watching a string orchestra, you rarely can hear when they switch bow direction. This is an instrument I want though. Also sample libraries mimic that concept. But this is still one of the original and coolest ways to approach that idea.
Dude, that makes me sad. That makes me appreciate portable devices so much more. I would imagine people cry in theaters just because how beautiful it sounds. And how also rare to hear instruments like these.

This piece takes away pain ... it transports you to another time and place ... I dance in my kitchen and imagine myself under tall trees swaying and stepping to the music. It make my 72 year old body feel young again. Thank you.
This machinery gives me the feeling of complete solitude and legendary vibes. In isolation w nothing but memorable noise. Still carried to this generation.
I love the complexity of this song! There's also just something about it that is incredibly pleasing, and feels ancient, like this man has time traveled into the deep past, and stolen songs that have long been forgotten by this world, and brought them back. I love this song!
It's the tonal drone. Modern western music doesn't really incorporate a tonal drone so when we hear music with it we associate it with foreign and ancient sounds. Not to take the magic out of it. I absolutely love the feeling of listening to something that could create the illusion of connection to the long forgotten past.
It is a blessing. If we are blessed to hear this instrument which was nearly lost and we have never heard before, imagine the instruments that await us in Heaven for those who accept the Lord.
Listening this melody in the dark night while in the front of bon fire, my mind slightly drifting away to 1200's and feeling peaceful inside. Life is good
I found this on reddit today. After I put my son to bed, I put my headphones on and have been listening to this on repeat for over an hour. I can't properly convey how powerful a thing it was to listen to this. Beautiful, beautiful playing. Thank you so much.
Vangelis - "conquest of paradise" album had the exact same effect on me as a kid it had a timeless vibe to it would fall asleep as a kid listening each day to it on a casette player with my sister doing her chores at the lamp light It was the soundtrack for a movie depicting how Christopher Columbus discovered America and it features a lot of oriental instruments and voices that go well with watery landscapes and wooden ships
to me, it feels like we are on way to poison the well loved king while at a ball in his name. all cheerful but with that ominous "something is horribly wrong here" feeling.
check out Rob Scallon's video about the Hurdy Gurdy. Learned some interesting things about it like the fact that the top three strings can be swapped for sound.
This sound is so familiar and bound with my soul. I'm sri lankan and there are no equal instruments or melodies in my culture. But i can feel it with my soul. I love to learn how to play this beauty but unfortunately I am just so far away, from it. But one day i will cuz I will never give up. 🎉🎉❤❤
That is definitely one of the craziest instruments I have ever seen and it puts out a sound like nothing I have ever heard before, and you Sir are a Master of it. Very nice.
Как-то поставил себе эту ВЕЩЬ на звонок будильника. Стал просыпаться раньше, чтобы не проспать начало звучания! Автору и исполнителю огромное спасибо!!!
I've never been more moved by a melody or instrument as I have with this. I've listened to it over an over again and have saved it to savour ... stirred to my inner being - the one filled with love and light. Thank you, Andrey
That's because it is! The main melody (and a quieter drone) is played on the hurdy-gurdy, but there's an organ playing a drone and a drum track! They were probably added in in editing.
@@WorldsofTeranel Actually up until the French revolution it was known as a symphonia and was owned by aristocrats. But after the revolution they ended up in the hands of beggars and travelers granting it a negative association with poor people. Exactly why it vanished for so long is uncertain but given the mechanical construction involved it could be assumed the poor did not have the means to maintain their hurdy gurdy's indefinitely.
Best Gurdy composer out there that I've found. I LOOOOVVVEEE the dark medieval tinge to all of your songs. Feels like it's bringing me back to past lives. So warming to my soul.
I have never heard a Hurdy Gurdy played this way. Wonderful. I cannot begin to express how this recording has changed my impression of the Hurdy Gurdy. Masterful playing.
I once saw a spindly man carrying a stone larger than his head upon his back. He stumbled beneath the weight, shirtless under the sun, wearing only a loincloth. He tottered down a busy thoroughfare. People made way for him. Not because they sympathized with him, but because they feared the momentum of his steps. You dare not impede one such as this. The monarch is like this man, stumbling along, the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. Many give way before him, but so few are willing to step in and help carry the stone. They do not wish to attach themselves to the work, lest they condemn themselves to a life full of extra burdens. I left my carriage that day and took up the stone, lifting it for the man. I believe my guards were embarrassed. One can ignore a poor shirtless wretch doing such labor, but none ignore a king sharing the load. Perhaps we should switch places more often. If a king is seen to assume the burden of the poorest of men, perhaps there will be those who will help him with his own load, so invisible, yet so daunting.
@@grantlahti4405 I walked from Abamabar to Urithiru. In this, the metaphor and experience are one, inseparable to me like my mind and memory. One contains the other, and though I can explain one to you, the other is only for me. I strode this insightful distance on my own, and forbade attendants. I had no steed beyond my well-worn sandals, no companion beside a stout staff to offer conversation with its beats against the stone. My mouth was to be my purse; I stuffed it not with gems, but with song. When singing for sustenance failed me, my arms worked well for cleaning a floor or hogpen, and often earned me a satisfactory reward. Those dear to me took fright for my safety and, perhaps, my sanity. Kings, they explained, do not walk like beggars for hundreds of miles. My response was that if a beggar could manage the feat, then why not a king? Did they think me less capable than a beggar? Sometimes I think that I am. The beggar knows much that the king can only guess. And yet who draws up the codes for begging ordinances? Often I wonder what my experience in life-my easy life following the Desolation, and my current level of comfort-has given me of any true experience to use in making laws. If we had to rely on what we knew, kings would only be of use in creating laws regarding the proper heating of tea and cushioning of thrones. Regardless, I made the trip and-as the astute reader has already concluded-survived it. The stories of its excitements will stain a different page in this narrative, for first I must explain my purpose in walking this strange path. Though I was quite willing to let my family think me insane, I would not leave the same as my cognomen upon the winds of history. My family traveled to Urithiru via the direct method, and had been awaiting me for weeks when I arrived. I was not recognized at the gate, for my mane had grown quite robust without a razor to tame it. Once I revealed myself, I was carried away, primped, fed, worried over, and scolded in precisely that order. Only after all of this was through was I finally asked the purpose of my excursion. Couldn’t I have just taken the simple, easy, and common route to the holy city? For my answer, I removed my sandals and proffered my callused feet. They were comfortable upon the table beside my half-consumed tray of grapes. At this point, the expressions of my companions proclaimed that they thought me daft, and so I explained by relating the stories of my trip. One after another, like stacked sacks of tallew, stored for the winter season. I would make flatbread of them soon, then stuff it between these pages. Yes, I could have traveled quickly. But all men have the same ultimate destination. Whether we find our end in a hallowed sepulcher or a pauper’s ditch, all save the Heralds themselves must dine with the Nightwatcher. And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived. In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method. The Monarch must understand this; he must not become so focused on what he wishes to accomplish that he diverts his gaze from the path he must take to arrive there. -The 8th parable from The Way of Kings, quoted by Dalinar

I made a hurdy gurdy bard the day I found this channel. About a month ago I got to play him. It was so much fun and brought some memories of a true traditional medieval campaign.

This sounds like a perfect music for Dungeons and Dragons if you encounter like a wizard in a giant hollow tree. Perfect Music, all you need to it is some magic appear around you as you play it, I love it!

That was the equivalent instrument to the synth. I want to hear Darude, Sandstorm played on it. 😉

I love the complexity of this song! There's also just something about it that is incredibly pleasing, and feels ancient, like this man has time traveled into the deep past, and stolen songs that have long been forgotten by this world, and brought them back.
I love this song!
Yes, the middle ages are perceived differently through the music of that time.
It's the tonal drone. Modern western music doesn't really incorporate a tonal drone so when we hear music with it we associate it with foreign and ancient sounds. Not to take the magic out of it. I absolutely love the feeling of listening to something that could create the illusion of connection to the long forgotten past.
It's the droning. You get it with bagpipes and the didgeridoo as well.

Vangelis - "conquest of paradise" album had the exact same effect on me as a kid
it had a timeless vibe to it
would fall asleep as a kid listening each day to it on a casette player with my sister doing her chores at the lamp light
It was the soundtrack for a movie depicting how Christopher Columbus discovered America and it features a lot of oriental instruments and voices that go well with watery landscapes and wooden ships
This song is oddly kinda sad.
But cheery at the same time?
Idk, I have mixed feels when I listen to this
X2
to me, it feels like we are on way to poison the well loved king while at a ball in his name. all cheerful but with that ominous "something is horribly wrong here" feeling.
It feels like the moment an abused protagonist realizes their true power and stops letting people walk all over them 😊
It feels like a bunch of clans forced to go to the ball together despite wanting to kill each other.
check out Rob Scallon's video about the Hurdy Gurdy. Learned some interesting things about it like the fact that the top three strings can be swapped for sound.
This is so amazing the world needs more hurdy gurdy

This sound is so familiar and bound with my soul. I'm sri lankan and there are no equal instruments or melodies in my culture. But i can feel it with my soul. I love to learn how to play this beauty but unfortunately I am just so far away, from it. But one day i will cuz I will never give up. 🎉🎉❤❤
That is definitely one of the craziest instruments I have ever seen and it puts out a sound like nothing I have ever heard before, and you Sir are a Master of it. Very nice.
the sound sounds like a string quartet. at least to me. i can hear violin and a cello sound in it
Its a version of the Nickelharpa, if im not mistaken.

Sounds like three or more different instruments playing together. Amazing musical technology!
That's because it is! The main melody (and a quieter drone) is played on the hurdy-gurdy, but there's an organ playing a drone and a drum track! They were probably added in in editing.
You should look up songs made with the electric hurdy gurdy. They have an even wider range of sounds that can be made from it.
I know it makes he wonder why it fell out of style and never made it big in the modern era
@@Mr.Obongo probably beacuse of the name tbh
@@WorldsofTeranel Actually up until the French revolution it was known as a symphonia and was owned by aristocrats. But after the revolution they ended up in the hands of beggars and travelers granting it a negative association with poor people. Exactly why it vanished for so long is uncertain but given the mechanical construction involved it could be assumed the poor did not have the means to maintain their hurdy gurdy's indefinitely.
Best Gurdy composer out there that I've found. I LOOOOVVVEEE the dark medieval tinge to all of your songs. Feels like it's bringing me back to past lives. So warming to my soul.
I appreciate that you were able to accurately say what a lot of us were feeling but couldn't find the words for.
I have never heard a Hurdy Gurdy played this way.
Wonderful. I cannot begin to express how this recording has changed my impression of the Hurdy Gurdy. Masterful playing.
Imagine being the ripe old age of 35 and hearing this during a festival in the medieval. Absolutely mystical.
Can’t stop playing this over and over!
chrisamerriman I’m doing the same thing
hello
Im in the club
I once saw a spindly man carrying a stone larger than his head upon his back. He stumbled beneath the weight, shirtless under the sun, wearing only a loincloth. He tottered down a busy thoroughfare. People made way for him. Not because they sympathized with him, but because they feared the momentum of his steps. You dare not impede one such as this. The monarch is like this man, stumbling along, the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. Many give way before him, but so few are willing to step in and help carry the stone. They do not wish to attach themselves to the work, lest they condemn themselves to a life full of extra burdens. I left my carriage that day and took up the stone, lifting it for the man. I believe my guards were embarrassed. One can ignore a poor shirtless wretch doing such labor, but none ignore a king sharing the load. Perhaps we should switch places more often. If a king is seen to assume the burden of the poorest of men, perhaps there will be those who will help him with his own load, so invisible, yet so daunting.
It's from The Way of Kings, by Nohadon, king of Alethela during the Heraldic Epochs.
@@grantlahti4405 nice!
I don't know what I more amazed by this man or you as a reader. well played the both of you.

@@grantlahti4405
I walked from Abamabar to Urithiru. In this, the metaphor and experience are one, inseparable to me like my mind and memory. One contains the other, and though I can explain one to you, the other is only for me.
I strode this insightful distance on my own, and forbade attendants. I had no steed beyond my well-worn sandals, no companion beside a stout staff to offer conversation with its beats against the stone. My mouth was to be my purse; I stuffed it not with gems, but with song. When singing for sustenance failed me, my arms worked well for cleaning a floor or hogpen, and often earned me a satisfactory reward.
Those dear to me took fright for my safety and, perhaps, my sanity. Kings, they explained, do not walk like beggars for hundreds of miles. My response was that if a beggar could manage the feat, then why not a king? Did they think me less capable than a beggar?
Sometimes I think that I am. The beggar knows much that the king can only guess. And yet who draws up the codes for begging ordinances? Often I wonder what my experience in life-my easy life following the Desolation, and my current level of comfort-has given me of any true experience to use in making laws. If we had to rely on what we knew, kings would only be of use in creating laws regarding the proper heating of tea and cushioning of thrones.
Regardless, I made the trip and-as the astute reader has already concluded-survived it. The stories of its excitements will stain a different page in this narrative, for first I must explain my purpose in walking this strange path. Though I was quite willing to let my family think me insane, I would not leave the same as my cognomen upon the winds of history.
My family traveled to Urithiru via the direct method, and had been awaiting me for weeks when I arrived. I was not recognized at the gate, for my mane had grown quite robust without a razor to tame it. Once I revealed myself, I was carried away, primped, fed, worried over, and scolded in precisely that order. Only after all of this was through was I finally asked the purpose of my excursion. Couldn’t I have just taken the simple, easy, and common route to the holy city?
For my answer, I removed my sandals and proffered my callused feet. They were comfortable upon the table beside my half-consumed tray of grapes. At this point, the expressions of my companions proclaimed that they thought me daft, and so I explained by relating the stories of my trip. One after another, like stacked sacks of tallew, stored for the winter season. I would make flatbread of them soon, then stuff it between these pages.
Yes, I could have traveled quickly. But all men have the same ultimate destination. Whether we find our end in a hallowed sepulcher or a pauper’s ditch, all save the Heralds themselves must dine with the Nightwatcher.
And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived.
In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method. The Monarch must understand this; he must not become so focused on what he wishes to accomplish that he diverts his gaze from the path he must take to arrive there.
