Hurdy-gurdy. Uzh I Ya Li Moloda, Tonkopriaditsa Byla 

And the Inquisitor throws another log on the pyre.

How’s it going? I thought about doing the same thing….

@@cryptoffilth8711 My question is just: where did he get it? Getting a hurdy gurdy seems to be the biggest hurdle to playing one

I never even knew there was a sound like this until a few years ago. Kudos to you for being able to get one and play it. It’s like it speaks to me in my center.

Never a waste my friend playing lovely sounds is always well lived moment. I hope you enjoy the gurdy young man!

You should check out Guilhem Desq's music too! his album Visions has some of the coolest and most emotional music I've ever heard

Original is way better then :p

Даже лучше

Yeh but that so much soothing ...

Also worthy to note, this instrument was first played ik churches before the organ. The first heavy metal was played in church it seems.

I was thinking the same thing! It does sound a little like rock

It is truly exquisite to my ears and senses. I'm a newcomer to hearing the instrument and this is jaw dropping stuff to come upon. The artist is so accomplished and skillful, thank you, Audrey.

@@whalesong999 he *is* amazing, and don't call him Audrey. 😂😂

One reason why it has been largely forgotten for a few hundreds of years may be that it uses drone notes, which haven't been part of the European music scene for some time. But now they're coming back!

@@Krabadaque What is a drone note?

@EgE @Zarion 11 (From Wikipedia): In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all of a piece. The word drone is also any part of a musical instrument that is used to produce such an effect, as is the archaic term burden (bourdon or burdon)such as a "drone [pipe] of a bagpipe",the pedal point in an organ, or the lowest course of a lute.

Wr41thx right! That's the first place I saw it, wasn't it. I completely forgot.

You should read more. Plenty of hurdy-gurdy references floating around in modern literature, from which almost each new game seems to suck their influences as it seems.

What?

@@Cd5ssmffan you heard right, the man plays sea of theives. Can we ever amount to his level of epicness? No. (Jk sea of theives is great)

@@bigfergus2787 video games are for manchildren and kids

Doesn't it take you to another place and time ~~°~~

It's got a crank and a wheel, a resonator and some strings with some keys to push the strings. If christianity and monastery life didn't bring anything else to modern world, at least it brought hurdy-gurdy music and whole bunch of superb beers and ales.

@@sanakassara this instrument is not of Christian origin I think. In fact there are very few things "Christian in origin" in the whole time it has existed.

@@BlackMithrandir13 Hurdy Gurdy, aka Vielle à Roue originates supposedly from 1000 AD Spain and is claimed to have been developed in the northern catholic monasteries of the region. First appearances in christian countries like England, Poland, Hungary and Belarus are from the 12th century. Finnish scholars seem to be quite sure of the origin, while rest of the world only seem to place it somewhere in 10th century Europe. The instrument family is also known as Organistrum, which consisted similar instruments like the Vielle à Roue, but it also had instruments which were played by two people. First appearances of the instruments are from 10th century christian iconography. Here are couple of links for viewing the history. -www.thevintagenews.com/2017/07/22/the-hurdy-gurdy-an-instrument-that-dates-back-to-medieval-times-was-a-favorite-of-french-kings/ -www.organistrum.com/organistrum_uk.htm

@@sanakassara thankyou for the information. I will certainly read the material you linked and do more research. Funny how in this case my claim was wrong. I got so accostumed to Catholic culture being an amalgam from other cultures since it's creation that I tended to assume that position you see in my previous comment. However, this can just fall under those few things that are genuinely born in Catholic culture. Nonetheless, thankyou again.

@@sanakassara Catholic church doesn't have anything to do with Jesus Christ, they don't follow Jesus Christ. Catholic church like many others so called christian churches they don't obey what the bible says, they do what they want and disobey Jesus Christ.

head banging :)

same!

I was sitting here listening, and then the beat dropped. Immediately, I was a medieval farmer at the local pub after a hard day's work, listening to this strange new thing called Music with Rocks In...

I swear I hear shades of Emerson, Lake and Palmer in here at different points. Rick Wakeman, too.

Also, if you want to "crank it up to 11'... listen to this at 1.25 speed.

What class?

The tune for a Bard me thinks? A charisma only heard and not displayed in slashing and bashing of glory but, instead a wave upon sound of tales and story once known and told now heard and heeded to. A most colorful collaboration of charismatic character and magical musics. Sweet choice dude✌

This is gonna be what i use as background theme for a monastery in my future game for sure

Fuckin nerd lmao

I think Matt over at Critical Role should invite this guy over for season 3.

What is instrument #1?

Cela me fait penser au bagad breton, je ne connaissais pas, mais je suis en bretagne, d'où la comparaison.

Check out guilhem desque

thankfully, you can replace talent with enough experience. play it anyways

That is weirdly specific. Has that combination a specific meaning to you?

What did the dragons ever do to you? #dragonlivesmatter

A reptilian?

Daniel Rozovsckiy lol all slavs are Indoeuropean. In fact their music is likely the most european since Europe adopted the dodecatonic wich is result of the influence from christianity's filosofic aesthetics and ethics.

yes, as i thought too . :-)

I may be retarded, but wasn't Russia founded by Scandinavian "traders" traveling the river system back and forth to Byzantium?

@@cjanon305 Russians before the Scandinavian arrived already had tribal unions, simply because of the internal internecine strife, the most advantageous option for the organization was to invite foreigners who would not be connected with internal conflicts between clans acting as an arbiter without blood relationship The problem is that the Rurik family was in power when the Rus received writing, and the chroniclers, to give authority to the family of rulers, greatly hyperpolized their role in creating the state

Vivi Fiente i completely agree. it's certainly a good study especially for realistic animations.

Vivi Fiente also, time to learn how to play a hurdy gurdy! I want to play the Fairytail battle theme on this

Haha, I looked at price cause yeah I wanted to learn too but It's quite expensive for me for the time being

Vivi Fiente Well...now I’ll never feel the same about arms again. My arms, your arms, his arms, everybody’s arms. All ruined...by you. Thanks.

Do more research on the tendons and muscles of the forarm

newearth hey I know you , I am subscribed to your channel . Good taste in music btw

Sounds like something I'd hear in a heated game of gwent

Im almost sure it was used in few tracks :)

most of the soundtrack of witcher 3 is played using this instrument

@@hackermis i don't think it was. I've watched many behind the scenes videos. They included many shots of the instrumental recordings and they never had a Gurdy

@@thelionneverroars1570 Not most, but there are a couple of soundtracks in Blood and Wine that use this instrument, the one that comes to mind is the Mandragora.

Mine too
