Here is part 2 of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26m04TA_a60.html Same length and same style of music but all new songs that aren't found in part 1.^^
A friend of mine used to listen to your music every day when she was studying and I think it really helped her - she got into a really good university. Unfortunately she committed suicide almost two years ago, but even now listening to this music reminds me of her. You deserve all of the praise for it that you get
Please read: Everyone is free to use my music if credits are given, I get this question many times so I hope people will see this.^^ Exceptions are if you want to use my music in something with commercial purpose because you need written permission from me. But as far as RU-vid goes you can use my music for free even if you monetize your videos, just give credits and you can use any song you want. =) PS.: Yes, I am the composer of all the music on this video, this is my personal channel and I upload only music that I made myself.^^ All the music can be purchased, just follow the links in the video description. =) I'm an independent artist, which means I don't have a label or sponsors or any of that stuff, I'm 25 and from Switzerland. Sorry for the long text, I get questions about all those things everyday. xD
Your music has accompanied my DnD group through their entire journey. Through abandoned mines, haunted woods, bustling taverns and freezing mountains, your music has made the experience extra special. Thank you.
I was about to sleep when out of the blue my mind just went “sup loser, remember that tune you used to listen to on repeat when you were a teen? Guess who’s not sleeping again until they find it!” And man, it was a journey but I’m ever so grateful to be here yet again, after years. This compilation has always been both soothing and empowering and I find myself still loving it today! Sleep’s overrated anyway
Usage rights - please read: I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =) USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =) On RU-vid and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way! ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required. If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except RU-vid and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed. Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects. Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion). So if your project is non-commercial or a RU-vid project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal. REQUESTED MUSIC: I generally do not accept offers to make songs on request or to write music for movies, games etc. One reason is that I can't handle it time-wise but even if I had the necessary time I would still stay away from it because I - quite honestly - don't really like to do it.^^ I basically make music to express whatever topic moves me, randomly. I tried it a few times but I have the best creativity and feel the most freedom and happiness when I do that completely alone and without being “employed” by someone. I hope that’s understandable.^^ Important: I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose. I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)
"On RU-vid and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way!" I love you for this! I was looking for music as a background for a new D&D 3.5 Session on YT. Will give you all the credits you deserve! Thanks for the great work and the generosity!~Flo
Not so Long ago, when the internet was void of truly amazing and original music. 1 great man descended upon the waists of RU-vid and blessed it with his gift of music. Adrian von Ziegler, with his glorious talent in music, created a RU-vid channel so that he may share his gift with a world that so desperately needed it. He shaped the idea of music on RU-vid in a never before seen way, shattering the expectations of everyone that was honored with getting to hear his music. After having made indescribably amazing pieces that would leave those who heard it never the same again, his labors completed. He departed to his composing tools and computer, and continued to share his gift with the world. The place where which he now resides, his own RU-vid channel, is the home to all of his glory and awe inspired pieces. This is the legend of Adrian von Ziegler, a true master of music.
The Green Dragon 53 You're going into the wrong profession, little brother! You should be writing/voicing movie trailers! (To all those wondering, he actually does have the epic movie trailer guy voice, and I totally made him read this to me in it. It was awesome.)
I wrote the entirety of my book listening to Adrian, from start to finish, and I like to think he was there experiencing it with me, playing the background track as I struggled with my characters through the dark forests and over the ghastly mountain peaks. Looking back I should have added him into my "Acknowledgements", with his permission of course. Just a lovely, imaginative collection of songs. Thank you so very much, Adrian.
I had exactly the same thing! His music is just so easy to listen to and to drift off in your thoughts and imagination. I totally agree with you. Thanks Adrian! ^^
Same. I listened to the 2 hours of dark music while writing my horror story. I feel it sets an ambiance while you are imagining every bit of story that you're writing. It really helps.
I love listening to your music while I write. I just now wrote 2,000+ words while listening to this. Adrian, you always thank us, but I want to thank you because writing can take a lot out of a person, including me, but when I have tunes like this to settle myself down and remain calm, then it becomes easy. Thank you Adrian for your wonderful music. Cheers!
I'm working on a fantasy novel, a traditional tale with good vs evil; but with some of my own pieces in it which I think would captivate an audience. 2,000 words seems like a lot to most people, but it's genuinely what a write each day. Yesterday I wrote 3,700 words, just because I couldn't find a good place to stop. And the calmness of music, such as this, provides a great deal of help for me whenever I write; settling me down tremendously. And thank you, mate.
Rammstein fan I know what you mean. Last night I wrote maybe 500 words, which to me seems puny. Sometimes it's tough to write, even with background music; and sometimes it's tough to find a place to stop after 3 hours of scribbling down ideas. But that also can be healthy, I don't need to write 2,000+ words every night, I like to focus on some of my other hobbies as well.
Rammstein fan No it's not my job, yet. But even if you have a job, you can still enjoy it instead of just "UGGGGH I HATE MY JOB LOL." It may not be a hobby if it's your everyday job, but you're still enjoying what you're doing.
Adrian, I really appreciate that you're not the person who force people to buy it but instead make it music accessible for free so to buy it is the people's choice. You're really kind and honest. I really appreciate your work. Good job!
Sometimes, even for a few minutes, I feel a burning desire to leave this world, and enter a world that is free from this dark, cruel and unjust world. That I could wonder in a new dimension where anything can happen. A fantasy world. And it shall remain that way, which hurts me the most.
***** I know your feeling. But it's very uncertain if it remains that way, the universe has infinite possibilities, let's hope and wish for the best. Stay positive, love and light to you.
+TheBasicYankee I feel this one very deep i just listen to fantasy game soundtracks and stuff all the time because that is the only escape i can get from this world
I guess not every artist thrives for Money and Glory...Some of them just want others to know how they feel, and that is Adrian von Ziegler in my eyes..That makes him Great and Kindred.I just buried my two days old child in Greece and i really don't know hot to feel,angry and sad?Desperate? Or maybe all of it..This music helps me forget about this sadness and go on with life and my wife...Greetings to Scotland and Ireland from Thessaloniki,Greece
This is my sleeping therapy for when I go to sleep, usually when you have a tendency to overthink everything before going to bed to the point you start to cry, play this and believe you will have a decent sleep tonight 💕💕
Oh my gosh!!! I cry almost every night because of over thinking! I started to listen to this music and now I listen to it every night, I am glad to find someone who agrees that this music is amazing!!!😃😀
Ah yes, my favorite bard. Everyone in the realm has heard of the great Adrian von Ziegler, and his songs have accompanied many through their adventures. He is so lenient in his laws on who can use his songs and in what ways... truly inspiring.
Legend says he came from the past through a time portal and learnt how to compose with modern technology. It's also said he has slain a few dragons here and there.
Your music has accompanied me through my late nights writing, later nights drawing, lonely evenings, dusk time DND planning, a drama performance, and so much more. Thank you for making such wonderful things and putting it out into this world!
This brings back my memories to a place I no longer have access to and to me being in my early teens, learning to draw and reading fantasy books, slowly exploring who I am... Thank you for this art
Okay, yes, I admit my username is atrocious, and I should get something that matches my glorious femaleness. Ah ha! A new party member, welcome! Here are your biscuits (a nice selction of NICE and Rich Tea) We shall Quest after Lunch.
Adrian I just want to say that you are one of the most talented Independent music composers in the world. Your music is not only beautiful but inspiring but what is even more exceptional is what a kind and caring person you seem to be. I only wish there were more people with your kind soul and creativity and open mind in the world. Thank you for all that you've given the fans of this type of music.
I am a Fantasy Fiction writer and have written a few books. And listening to your music has placed me in that state of going back into my world and experiencing it all over again. A few descriptions of a few scenes from my book as I listen to your music. A massive dragon with a large ship like a pirate ship with room for 200 or more passengers strapped to his back. A Cloud Sweeper he is called and he flies people from place to place. A King helping his subjects in building their home within a magical forest with a massive tree with homes dwelling with it's top limbs and throughout its trunk. A tree so large that the top limbs vanishes within the clouds. Beings of many different Races roaming the land as massive stone giants move about with animals that can be just as massive. Elves and Fairies roaming the woods and fields of flowers as the Fairies takes small showers from the water found within some roses when tipped. And many more incredible memories of my work flashes in my mind as I listen to your music. Well done on making this track.
You make the most beautiful art I've ever seen. People tend to think of art as paintings, but when I hear this awe inspiring music, I can see nothing other than grand art. This is especially true since I'm all about the fantasy genre of books, and games.
I really like your music. usually, ambient music annoyes and unerves me because of its simple and slow tone, but yours keeps me intertained. I was looking for music to link to my wattpad story, so thanks for allowing use!
+Nicole Martinez Long live Wattpad ;) I have an account too, to write my fantasy short stories. It's in portuguese... But all you from wattpad could take a look... Happiness to all. (And forgive my bad english)
An idea is born. Paper gets filled with ink. Music is created. Wait... Hearts are shaken. Tears fall and smiles grow. Music is absorved. Wait... People get excited. The message gets spread. Music is expanding. Wait... The pen falls from the table. Blood is shed. Music is waiting. ... A New Hero is Born. I love your work, Adrian.
You can not imagine that you have a follower in Latin America. I discovered this beautiful music by chance because I've always liked to enjoy Celtic music. But this one in particular captivated me as it projects and injects energy to keep going, fighting, battling with our own mythological beings created by our own fears. Unwittingly I immerse myself in enchanted forests, full of fairies, elves and goblins. Beings that are imposed on the bad, the dark beings that hover in our mind. It is definitely a masterful music. Congratulations Adrian, since God gave you this talent ... atte Claudia
Dear Adrian, your music are just too powerful that I can't focus on my books while I am reading and listening to any of your music, except the "relaxing" ones... XD...I would simply enjoy your music with my eyes closing, and not doing anything else at the same time. Your music are full of stories, emotions and memories which resonate with numerous phases of the history on earth, rolling my blood and touching my soul deeply. My favourites, like others, are the celtic ones...Thank you for bringing these superb neat and pristine music to us. :)
Your method of teaching also is so special and wonderful, Alex. I have been learning from you since 2014. I owe you lots. Because of your valuable lessons, I was able to travel to an English Speaking country and finish my degree. I eventually landed a job, my dream work. Thank you a million.
Ich erinnere mich noch gut daran, wie ich deine Musik vor über sieben Jahren durch dieses Video gefunden habe, als ich nach Musik als Schreibbegleitung für eine Fantasystory gesucht habe und mich sofort in deine Musik verliebt habe. Das Buch habe ich zwar nie fertig geschrieben, aber heute höre ich deine Musik beim Lesen, beim Vorbereiten meiner DnD-Runden und sie ist auch Teil meiner Playlist fürs DnD leiten, denn deine Stücke inspirieren mich bis heute😊
I'm in the process of writing/creating a fantasy story and you're music is helping with my brainstorming and creating the lore and history of my world. Thank you for making such wonderful music! If I use any of your music in RU-vid videos I'll gladly credit you. I might even use some of these in my D&D sessions! ^_^
I'm also writing fantasy. Music like this is really inspiring and making my brain lost into the world I'm creating as I write. There's nothing better than god music to match your work!
Geezus dude. Your music is outstanding. I'm a Sci-fi Fantasy artist and I do conventions and Renn Faires . Not only will I promote you and your music, I'd love to play your music in my booth. Talk about the perfect ambiance.
my mom has insomnia and listening to this helped her relax and sleep.. i can't thank you enough! you are an awesome artist and a person... ^^ greetings from Croatia :3
I wholeheartedly believe that your work will be remembered throughout the ages, comparable to how we look at Bach and Beethoven today. You are a true talent.
I'm almost finished writing that fantasy novel I was talking about and I still listen to your magickal tracks as I write. At this point, I may have to give you some credit on the book's copyright page. ;D
Some wonderful melodies; I enjoy listening to your stuff as I write. Excellent mood, not distracting like many "epic" labeled orchestrations. Not everything in fantasy is a battle or a dungeon!
Wonderful, just wonderful. As a fantasy artist, I will be listening to this a lot while I work (now that I've found it). Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful art with the world.
I'm assuming you're not playing and recording all instruments yourself, so what program do you use to create these masterpieces, and do you have formal education or are you a selfmade man?
+MrGlies I learned everything alone, I have no musical education.^^ I use a keyboard with Midi-input and the Midi-Editor in Magix Music Maker. The virtual instruments I use are mostly from EastWest.
+Adrian von Ziegler i have just found your channel, the music is just beautiful i play this in my home as it relaxes me and my cats seem to chill as well thumbs up to this channel and rest assured i am a subscriber now, i will watch for new pieces bless you
Listened to your music this morning. It proved the perfect background for my own fantasy writing. You have a new subscriber! Your tunes were varied, not too fast or weird, and pleasantly inspired my own creation.
Well, I'm from Mexico and I'm a writer (not from tumblr or any other similar place, like wattpad). I want to thank Adrian Von Ziegler since his music helps me write when I do not know what else to add, also in my studies it was a great help allowing me to concentrate. He is a great artist and in fact my favorite number 1.
Hey Adrian, greetings from Germany - i'm fantasy writer and i enjoy your music! every single song is so magnificent and i get a lot of energy out of it to continue my hobby. Thank you very much to create this stuff offside the mainstream. can't hear hans zimmer and co anymore ;-)
Adrian is probably one of the greatest inspiration for any guy wanting to do instrumental music out there 🎶☝️a simple guy who's passion is music! Hope one day I will have the same success as he has. Would be awesome 👍👍👍
Dear Adrian! I would like to congratulate you for your special songs, in the world there are many beautiful songs and the most beautiful are those that speak to our soul. Your songs have a spell, I cannot explain, they touch my heart and every time that I listen to I will travel to other times, perhaps to my past lives. If you can, please talk to me my dear, I read that you find inspiration in your girlfriend, but do you believe in reincarnation? Your music does seem to raise the spirits, the elements of the other times, and makes our mind to wander and discover things, how do you explain this? So...anyway your songs are very special and I believe this songs comes from a very special spirit and mind. A genius like Mozart and others. Thank you dear Adrian for providing this affection to our lives. When I hear them I feel that you offer the world a garden full of flowers, the most various and beautiful. With love and gratitude.
Adrian, I am currently developing a virtual reality fantasy MMORPG with kinect support (to move your hands and all in the virtual realm). I would like to ask you if I may use your music in the game. Ofcourse you will be given all the credit you want to have and I will never say that the music was written by Anyone but you :)
+Jeremy J Liking this so he can see it. That is an amazing idea. If he doesn't see this soon, you need to try to contact him in some other way. Best of luck for you, I will definitely be playing this game when it's finished.
Thank you very much for the support, I will try to contact him in a different way if this doesn't work. And I'll notify you through a private message once the beta is released so you can be one of the first people to try it out! Thank you very much!
+Jeremy J He commented that everyone is free to use the music as long as credit is given. This is exactly what he said: Please read: Everyone is free to use my music if credits are given, I get this question many times so I hope people will see this.^^ Exceptions are if you want to use my music in something with commercial purpose because you need written permission from me.

+Jeremy J Hey Jeremy! =) Please read this, it's the usage conditions that I put in place officially: USAGE: If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler".

I'm surprised the people that make the music for World of Warcraft or Legend of Zelda haven't hired you yet. Your music as is would be awesome in those game franchises. I can already imagination Fateful Reunion as a look back on a dark event of Hyrule's history.
So, not to sound like a crazed fan, but I gave you a shout-out in the Acknowledgements page of my fantasy book (Sought After Blood Lines), which is now on Amazon! You have no idea how much you impacted my entire writing process. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My exact words: "An additional shout-out goes out to Switzerland-based composer, Adrian von Ziegler for his inspirational music. I literally listened to his fantasy and Celtic tracks every single time I sat down to write and revise."
+Eva X. can your book be brought in book stores, i have several people interested and will it be a saga for more sequels ? I live in New Zealand the home of the One Ring.
It's only available online. (Amazon and Barnes and Noble). Just search for "The Escapist Sought After Blood Lines." It's a trilogy, but only book 1 is out now. Thank you for your interest! :) Here's the book blog: soughtafterbloodlines.wordpress.com
Eva, congrats on creating/completing a fantasy novel! I am working on a - albeit, different - project and use Adrian and a few other artists as inspiration as well. I certainly hope that your work flourishes well.
If I ever actually get around to a video game/ movie (not sure which would show the story better) I want to make, your music will be at the forefront and I'll be recommending you to everyone who ever even knows about it. ^^
It's an epic fantasy, if a bit on the darker side of things. Of course, there's a heap of editing and proofreading to do so I anticipate a Christmas release. It's to be called "The Final Death".
My friend, I write to your music. It has given me motivation and made me feel in complete control. I can't thank you enough for the fantastic music you create. I even brought two of your albums for my ipod. I tip my hat to you and once again thank you for your hard work.
Could you please compose the soundtrack for any upcoming Final Fantasy games? Their soundtracks have really gone downhill after the legendary Nobuo Uematsu stopped making them. Some of your work reminds me a lot of him though!
this gave me inspiration to write more of my story called: "between the black and white". I can see it now. Golden skies, rippling hills, moving as if mimicking the waves of the ocean... so much inspiration out of 2 hours
