Chill Beats for Worldbuilding and Writing 

What's your favorite song in the video? Did any of them help you to feel inspired?

although the robot didn't have a beating heart, the flame of imagination still flickered within its gears.

Oh this is juuuust right

This single video has now fueled over 22k words of pure world building. I owe you everything sir, thank you.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

This music does indeed make me want to create an entire universe just for the sake of it I always have had a few ideas floating around in my head just need to put them into physical form in one way or another

AS A HUMAN I ENJOY THE INDIVIDUAL WAVES OF VIBRATIONS PASS THROUGH MY EAR CANALS. THIS GIVES ME A GOOD HORMONAL RESPONSE AS ANY HUMAN WOULD KNOW.

This is causing me to remember so many hundreds of ideas for worlds, art, games, characters, etc that I've had before and never actually done anything with or never finished what I did do, so many unfinished blender projects and partly written down ideas never finished because I don't have enough time or motivation

Thank you for this amazing playlist of songs. And yes, it did make me feel inspired to write my own story. I am now almost 11 years old, and today, on 18/03/2023, I have wrote my first story. As a kid, my imagination always runs wild. Even till now, I have a lot of stories floating inside my head. But finally, I have decided to write my imagination out. I have always dreamt of reading a fantasy book that was written by me. Anyway, thank you for this playlist and for inspring me for writing my own story.

There is something... fascinating (I think?) about this visual. Nevermind the inspiration it creates, just seeing a simple robot and his miniature companions wandering about on his desk as he writes on scraps of parchment paper with a bottle of ink at the ready, the vast network of pipes and machinery in the background slightly obscured, and the brilliant light illuminating the otherwise empty realm of metal as if to give this strange building a new "life" after some time of some kind of "death"... It seems to want to tell about it's own history despite saying nothing at all.

Wow, Talebot, that’s what you look like when you’re not a shadow puppet?

Just wanna say that most lo-fi tracks normally have really loud beats and clicks in them and it hella distracts me. This is like the only useful lo-fi compilation that has worked for me to help me focus. Thank you for the bops my man.

theres something beautiful about a machine trying to create a book being capable to write what he can´t live , but capable to control what he´s character can do , being capable to have a morality in them , he´s attempting to imagine , he´s living his tale.

I love that Tale Bot is left handed, it makes him feel a bit more unique, even more than he already is.

You know what Today I'm actually gonna start. Been putting it off for months but this might just get me in the right mood and push me to finally begin.

Y'know that feeling when you find *exactly* what you needed? This is that. Holy crap I made so much progress on my writing during this.

Can I say, thank god for this playlist. Everyday I get distracted while writing and eventually make my way through youtube's informational/essayist videos, and eventually this playlist will pop up, reminding me to actually do the writing and not just the "inspiring". That what I love about this channel. Y'all have put out an amazing amount of writing since the start of this channel. Would love to buy any self-published stuff for this channel!

to everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus. to everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. to everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. when you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. to everyone who is drawing, you got this. you're art is amazing. keep your head up (or down, depends on where your paper is) and remember that you matter.

I’m not a novel writer or anything, but I am a Dungeon Master. This is great ambiance for painting miniatures and weaving campaign twists. I listened to this while painting the dragon for next session and brainstorming his monologue. And to think the party feels safe up in the cloud giant’s castle, muhahaha!

This reminds me a bit of the game Stray, where you play as a cat living in a world with robots that don't look too dissimilar from this one. Great video :))

Didn't think I'd listen to the whole thing, but here we are

As someone who makes stories and ocs not art but the characters themselves this is exactly what i needed.

Not sure if you'll actually read this but I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible works wether they be stories, analysis, or any other piece. These videos have been instrumental to me learning and improving as a writer, and broadening my horizons as to the sources for my own works. Here's to the one of the biggest inspirations I've found in some time, and hopefully to some day write my way into the world with some modicum of success.

I will say. This is how I found the channel. I will never regret finding it. It actually watched the other content and found that spark to start writing again. No longer to make the greatest master piece that makes people think, but to enjoy the craft and what it brings me.

I love the little things in the animations like the little people just hanging around

Man V1 really mellowed out after rampaging through hell

I'm a big fan of "Follow Hidden Paths", it really feels like I just stumbled across a secret fairy sanctuary or something like that.

this looks like an anime that I would love to watch and this sounds like a world is beginning risen from the sounds it's self

Not that this isn't helpful to someone, possibly even myself, but I need something to KEEP the world building going. Starting it is easier for me. I have basically a deck of cards to draw from at any time, the real question is how to narrow it down. The other day I was just thinking that it felt like there was a lack of gothic inspired worlds and then I did a couple hours of research, and lo and behold, it might actually be theoretically possible for a blue dwarf to support radiotrophic mushrooms on a world that also had citrus plants. After that it becomes a question of theoretical plant splicing or selective fungus breeding to make a world that could stand alive florally under such a radioactive star. The biggest problem being that due to how the wavelengths of these radiations go, the species of fungus researched would make the colorscheme a muted olive in color. Which might be beautiful with a wider range of visual light than humans have. Another idea is just a musically centric world, culture, and reality. It appears often enough as a thematic level in videogames, but it's never explored in depth in any manner as some sort of natural evolution of Flora and fauna. But the potential it holds is massive simply on the basis of various elements and chemical compounds having its own unique vibrational wavelength. A percussive petunia would be interesting. Flora subdivided by not only phylum, genus, and species, but also by instrumental organization. There is aa world of potential in some of the most mundane things taken to extremes, but I have no staying power for building these worlds properly because I feel like I lack the tools to properly translate this entire vision of a world to others.

Nothing like piano high keys to get the blood flowing! This is great!

Ive been worldbuilding my campaign and this is just what the doctor ordered. Especially 11:59 gave me such a lovely background to write! Thank you

"This mix is amazing, there are really some beautiful songs in here. "

I've been struggling to get back into writing because my workload has been crushing me! For the first time in the year, I have had a reprieve, but I kept stumbling to write this chapter. But this playlist... it's given me the power to get back to it, no matter how many times I have to rewrite it until I'm satisfied. "Transcendentia" specifically worked perfectly for a scene with two characters talking beneath a starry sky, about the world all around them, it felt peaceful. Thanks!

You know you got everything you need when you can watch some writing and worldbuilding tutorials, and then listen to some chill beats to do actual practice to, all from one RU-vid channel.

To feel inspired is one of the world’s greatest joys To inspire others is even greater.

I love watching the little ones offering a helping hand

I love the little taleoid drawing in the top left

This is just what I needed because I always play music while writing then focus on the music

Sprite based RPG vibes right here. Reminiscent of getting to a part where you have a profound memory revealed.

I like to listen to Celtic style music as I write. It helps me world build like crazy.

This is the playlist I'm using for my D&D campaign planner, and for the oneshot I'm doing in 3 days with nothing planned for. Have to make 3 character's (PC's) backstories and the entire session before Halloween day. This playlist rocks, no voices just calm collected good music!

"Art is ever such an interesting, yet over look process. In twisting strings and etching paper, we grasp that which we cannot hold, tangling thoughts and ideas into vague abstractions from which we construct form. And somewhere between, from when the first note is played till the last line is laid, it becomes. Seemingly greater than the sum total of it's parts, containing more than canvas, wood and ink. Something almost... real. I shall never know what or who possessed that amalgam of bolts, gears and vacuum tubes, neither the means it was constructed. Carefully crafted in all the ways that matter, oft brilliantly so, and yet complex in an outdated, almost old fashioned kind of way. As if the creator had not yet heard of semiconductors or silicon chips. It bespoke a genius that was far before its time, a kind that only came about rarely every hundred years of so. I'd have like to talked to that man... but given how dusty these walls are and how deep this cavern is, I'd say that's quite unlikely. I dare say I wouldn't reach the bottom in all the years left to my name, had I the courage to even attempt the feat. So I must cut my visit short, lest I lose the way out. Its still down there... some where, penning letters, tearing papers, seeking perfection where it doesn't exist. Unsurprisingly, it's strange obsession has left me with many questions. Does it dream? Does it feel? From where does it pull its ideas? And most importantly and perplexingly, is it alive? I suppose I'll never know."

"Mystic Forest" gives me rising-tension-in-a-studio-ghibli-movie vibes. Could easily picture a hero ascending a tall mountain with beautiful landscape shots of rolling fields. Awesome track.

actually Writing the story of the dungeon for my friends (I'm the DM) - this collection suits it perfectly!

Yassss! I was just looking for something motivational to help me finish my midterm papers for University and then this was uploaded literally 5 minutes ago. Freaking perfect

This made for a wonderful backdrop for my painting tonight, and I must see what else you have to offer as of now. I'm weary of a lot of the stories I'm listening to essentially boiling down to "Uh, like, I saw something, and like, I didn't know what it was, so it was, like, a SKINWALKER!" Thanks for a wonderful effort on your end, here!

It really bothers me how much does school made me hate books at first. I had to read something I was not enjoying at all, but now, after finding just ONE book I really liked and tons of interesting small tales, I feel like I should start to read more and more. Or even write something. Just a tale, creepypasta, or a simple walk through a magical forest... possibilities seems endless now. Thanks Tale Foundry, you've just earned another subscriber

honest to god, and maybe it's just because I got super high one time while listening to this playlist, but this is in fact my favorite playlist out of several hundred I've listened to now for writing. I hope you make another, it's mad helpful

I was just about to go to sleep and now I get relaxing music from an awesome channel? Shiiit life is good sometimes.

David Celeste - appears to be an amazing composer! Thanks for sharing!

No matter what I'm writing, these songs set just the right mood. They can be calm and wonderous, sweet and melodic, ominous and haunting, and happy and bright all at the same time I love this! Oh! and rn, its midnight and I'm writing about monsters in the dark and I swear I will not sleep. I keep looking at my closet and to the edges of my bed, as if a creature will suddenly make it's way out and come kill me Ohhhhh the spook and the vibes! This is the best playlist ever!

The music combined with Talebot somehow make me feel at peace and at home.

This is legit REALLY helping me get that drive to keep writing my book. Tells a story based on one single moment I dreamed about, and I found myself really curious to explore it. Already got the prologue and half of chapter 1 done in just 2-3 nights of writing!

Been struggling to write a personal essay for one of my classes, and this has really helped to get the words flowing, just in time! Thanks for this

One thing I gotta say is I really love the background animation that you have while the music is playing! The robot just writing away and putting more ink in the pen while it has little buddies hanging around, and sometimes there's lava being poured in the background- it's all just so amazing to watch while listening to the music.

Everytime i hear Myuu music, it brings me back to my childhood

Literally what I was just searching for. Wow.

i keep coming back to this for background music while working on my mfa, it's just the best

The lofi community is the safest place on RU-vid 💓💓💓💓💓💓

Something about Talebot being left handed just makes me happy and I'm not sure why

Amateur worldbuilder here! These songs plus gallons and gallons of tea are my fuel whilst writing/worldbuilding. Really inspiring stuff!

Damn, i get that the music is the focus and that this is something to listen to in the background while writing or world building but the visuals are so good. I'd enjoy this with only the audio and doing just that, writing with this in the background, but the visuals are equally as good when tied with the audio. I mean it when I say this is truly amazing. The character design mixed with the clear skill for the craft that of which the maker of the visuals for this project has, helps immensely along side the astonishing music which doesn't intrude too much on your thought and instead helps support your writing/creation of the worlds you have bumbling about in your mind. You at Tale Foundry have created something wonderful, just as you always have been and will keep doing. I may not be an experienced writer or world builder but the art of creation and media has always inspired me. Whether that be video making by recording and post production. Creating visual art like drawings, paintings, animations, sculptures, photos, etc. Game creation and design. But most relevant probably being writing. Stories and fictional worlds have been so influential in my life, they form some of my favorite things and inspire me. All the examples of media are 1. Not all there is and it would be near impossible to state all there is. and 2. Inspires me, not only to do those things from the media I consume, like reading a good story for example making me want to write one of my own, but inspire me to do the other forms of media I mentioned and more. I may draw something in the setting of a story with the characters in the story or with characters I make myself or just something inspired by it and it's amazing. Every piece of media I consume plays a part in making me even more interested in media as a whole. The thing is when you get to see what was behind it, how it was made, the original concept, the journey along the way explored by the creators, is something truly inspiring and if said inspiration and motivation sparked by the media and the people behind it were gold, then we would have buildings made from the stuff all around. I know this has been a bit of a wall of text but I really mean what I say. Media makes up the world around us and while it can have it's downfalls it can still be wonderful when this concept of creating the ideas you have into something like an artwork, film, or book, is brought to the right people. Though when I say "the right people" I mean anyone with an idea, even if the base idea is cool or stupid, the way you as a creator actually make it can completely define what the concept actually is, and I guess that's the beauty of it. Sorry that this turned into a bit of a rant/vent on media and creation as a whole but good job Tale Foundry, for everything.

This is perfect! I was just sitting down to build upon an idea I had for a villain. I don't know where I'm going to put him, but he'll surely be a nice challenge for whoever the heroes I create are.

I’m put in a trance state of complete focus and comfortability when I listen to this especially with headphones. I’m over locked in to what ever I’m doing at the time I listen. I appreciate these soundtracks because they do something inside of my brain to make me just work effortlessly and it’s very helpful when I need to do work that I wouldn’t be able to do with crowded thoughts.

Transcendentia makes me think of some sort of an endless white plain of existence where there's a constant eclipse in the sky, possibly either some strange three dimensional geometric shapes around or trees that have white trunks and black leaves. Maybe some creatures that are effectively the outline of a human but with no facial features of any kind, and just two black, glowing ovals for eyes. Maybe their heads (or bodies) split in two to reveal a creature beyond human comprehension that if stared at for long enough will make you walk towards it so that you might be consumed. Mechanical Resignation makes me think of a dystopian world where everyone shares similarities, ranging from exact facial features to full body proportions, and the only way to differentiate people is via clothing that higher ups wear. Those who rebel against the world laid out in front of them wear masks with defining features, each one different from the other. I'd imagine that they would style their hair in different ways as well, and make their own clothing as well. Their leader wears a mask that resembles that of an angels face, completely white with yellow eyes and cracks that are all around the mask. Nobody in this world is given a name unless they have some sort of importance, though those who rebel are named based on what they choose their mask to be.

I've been putting this playlist off because of weeks of terrible migraines, but I've just listened to it now and this actually helps me write and study.

Can you create another playlist like this please?? Absolutely perfect work/school background vibes! Calmly subtle enough to not distract, but flows enough to keep your mind activated, very well done!

I've been putting aside writing for two almost three years now. And this helped me come up with new ideas for my story. Thank you so much and I love the art 💜💜

The art work in this reminds me of my favorite villain. Nox the Xelor.

*_So many talented RU-vidrs out there, teaching about how-to tips and art discussions..._* *_Who else may I find to help fuel my imagination?_*

I love the little detail of the radio, every time the music goes louder the frequency of the radio moves faster. Great playlist thank you!!

Every single detail of the art is amazing! And then there's the ink splotch over the notes which just made me go "NOOOOOO!"

I wish there was a longer version of the Tale Foundry theme! I love that Rag-timey music! - Dylan

Wether your writing, high, or world building this is a perfect playlist

I love staring at the scene and catching the tiny creatures doing some action. Especially the one on his shoulder. It hardly moves but you can JUST see it lean back a bit and put a hand out when the bot leans forward

This helped me get out of a year long writer's block, thanks a ton.

I don't want to give too much away, so nobody steals from me (I'm altruistic, but this IS the internet), but I want to just get out my idea. I've been working on a world called "Triptunis", which is set mostly underwater. Merpeople (called the Peysk in-universe) and all sorts of aquatic humanoid species are the inhabitants alongside the surface-dwelling humans. The planet it the size of Jupiter, and the "known world" is the size of earth, so there is alot more I could expand on if I needed to. While I intend to write an epic novel series with a Peysk woman taking the Frodo/Luke/Harry archetype (with a few subversions to that role), I decided to start my writings with a book like The Hobbit. Set 500 years before the "hero's journey" story I originally developed (and I still intend to write), it's about a boy living in a fishing town based on Celtic and Hebrew cultures who takes off on a journey with Keimvoku, a clan of ocean navigators based on ancient Norsemen and Polynesians. I want to introduce the world through the eyes of someone experiencing its wonders for the first time, just like us. I'd love to hear feedback. Edit: I've been working on religions, music, and even fully fleshed languages for a month by now.

Tale Foundry, your talent for animation and music is truly outstanding. I am grateful for the beautiful and enchanting videos you share with us. Thank you for brightening our days!💕

I've always had ideas for stories but I can't write well or have the motivation to actually write them, but I will often find myself drawing those ideas into characters, fights, of just pictures, and this video makes me want to think of more stories, this entire channel is a gold mine for ideas

I like how seeing a lofi or chill beats character make a different movement is the equivalent to seeing the DVD logo hit the corner of the screen.

Just when i was gonna do some writing this come on, this is TOOO perfect timing

I'm running errands and feelin like I'm on quests in an rpg

This video got me into college and now I'm writing papers on volcanic eruptions and the enviromental consequences regarding them. Thank you!

I've just spent the past week desperately trying to get back into writing my WIP and no matter what I try I couldn't seem to find my focus. I'd just keep drifting off and getting frustrated with the last paragraph I wrote. Then I heard "Follow Hidden Paths" and I dunno, it just reminded me of why I want to write in the first place. Something about it just spoke to that inner need I have to write words. Then I wrote some. The song is a fantastic addition to this awesome collection. Hope the rest of you Taleoids are just as inspired

Omg this is all so amazing…Talebot, the video, the music! It’s hauntingly inspiring and melancholically reflective. Incredible.

I need a Spotify playlist of this

If only I were good at drawing, I could finally make my dream show a reality. Until then, I'll just create scenes in my head while listening to tunes.

I love you, Chill Beats for Worldbuilding and Writing, the sheer number of academic assignments you've gotten me through this past year... I can never thank you enough...

Rust rains from his chassis Loose bolts creak Frayed wires peak from deep dents showing the wear and tear from a millennium of operation. The world has long fallen into disrepair since the Event which twisted the landscape and left our world devoid of organic life The only memory which remains are the robotic beings who continue to carry out commands on behalf of their long deceased masters. They stand as stalwart defenders and ward off the inevitable decay of all we have ever known and carry on our legacy, a shadow of what once was.

Tbh I love your art so much I would love to see a speedpaint of the art shown in this video Your art is just so lovely and I live your videos Keep up the good work

Loving and I mean absolutely loving "Misconception" made me change my whole idea into something 10x better.

i love to listen to this when I'm studying, it's neutral enough to not disturb me but It's also incredibly inspiring

This is beautiful, definitely will use this during my writing/creative time! Cute animations!

The artwork is absolutely gorgeous!

this visual is genuinely amazing. i always have to avert my eyes from the paper every once in a while to catch a taleoid vigorously scribble on the paper or another one kick its legs, and the moments where talebot thinks for a moment, comes up with an idea, and writes it down quickly before he forgets it... its just such a peaceful writing environment. i honestly kind of want to live there too. what writer wouldn't?

Nothing quite like building a world from the ground up. Even if I don't have any sort of story in mind, just getting lost and bouncing between major events and minute details is such a treat!

I love this! I wish you would make more of these...

I have seen a lot of artists over time and take foundry has to be one of my favourite, I only wish I could make such amazing stuff but I always feel like my worlds lack uniqueness or original or other stuff and or they barely get worked on. Was hoping to make this message and get a Comment from the main automated machine himself but not sure if that would happen still very lovely video and artwork as always!

The amount of writers that comes together from this channel always amazes and inspires me.

this is the perfect playlist to research and write about black holes and multiverses, which is what I'm doing.
