I don't know who this Cthulhu fella is, but he has a pretty good taste in music!

For a kid growing up in the 2000s with the original Tom and Jerry series and now a Lovecraft fan, 20s Jazz really is something special

Came here for school project on the 20's. Found "Cthulhu Ambience Music". Not even mad.

Always something chilling about coming home to an empty house with old jazz playing somewhere in the background.... I love it

Love it! But it's mostly 1930's. Here are the titles and some of the artists: Hummin' to Myself - (written in 1932) My Sin - (written in 1929) By a Waterfall - (1933 from the film "Footlight Parade") I'll Always Be in Love With You - sung by Belle Baker 1929 Love Me Tonight - sung by Annette Hanshaw 1932 (love her!) Thanks for turning folks on to this amazing stuff!

0:00 Humming to Myself 2:53 My Sin 5:58 By A Waterfall 9:29 I'll Always be in Love with You 11:40 Love Me Tonight

I first listened to this in Cannery Row while eating clam chowder and watching an ominous fog roll in from the harbor. I come back to video every now and then to remind me of my old hometown.

I'm only a few eons old but I love stone age music!! Nothing like the sound of two rocks banging against each other!

If we don't bring Jazz back in 2020, I will be very disappointed.

6 years on and I stumbled across this and used it in a Call of Cthulhu game. Humming to Myself played in a creepy mansion, the record starting by itself. I added some reverb and muted the track so it sounded like it was in another room a fair distance away. I also started it with a big record scratch. Thanks for the upload!

Come to the fabulous Gillman Hotel in wonderful Insmouth...a lovely sea food menu, and interesting locals...or if you prefer...take a glorious trip to the enchanting Dunwhich. And then there's the undiscovered colors from who knows where... not to mention the storm from beyond and the Dreams in The With House...or......something like that ;)

im 2 years old and i love the 1920s music, at the very latest, im more into 1800's stuff

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits Jazzing!

This was one of the first ambiance’s I got into on KZfaq. What a glorious nostalgia trip.

Also great for running a Bioshock Infinite homebrew :D

The 20s look like a magical time, so long as you had some money.

I'm never tired of this playlist. Love every song!

I remember those old Bugs/Tom and Jerry cartoons - back when you still had real ultra violence in cartoons. Now you only get it in Itchy and Scratchy.

The music also reminds me of Bioshock ambient music and I love it. I wish this kind of music never faded away

I am oddly fond to 20's Jazz, its just great

You are my favorite. I was looking for ambient jazz for my Call of Cthulhu game.

Definitely playing this in my next call of cthulhu game

This really helps when you're creating a homebrew Campaign.

İ don"t know how many times i dream about arkham city and cthulhu while listening these music

This... is actually rather interesting. Most people think of ambient music as background music, but few actually remember the music that would be playing at that particular period of time. Great selection, reminds me of the swingy tune called Smile at Me they made for the Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth game.

Why do I feel nostalgia when I listen these song and look these picture ? I never lived in 1920

Howard Phillips Lovecraft Cthulhu played jazz so beautifully.

If someone were to ask me what my favorite music was, I would say classic rock because I've always said that. However, the older I get, the more I love this music. It reminds me of riding in the car with my grandfather. How wrong I was to dislike it back then. Cheers to you all and thanks for posting!

This reminds me way too much of the ending of the shining, and that makes it way more terrifying

I am 21, it's 2013. It's Saturday midday, sunny. Humming to myself...

This is more or less my audio background for my Cthulhu. I just love to see my characters invest in bonds. As if they thought they could survive an Ancient One.

Here are the results of a project I have been working on. Using a combination of Google, SoundHound, and iTunes for verification below are all of the names /artists of all of the pieces on the first three playlists. I have the first track of playlist 4, but I am really stuck on track 2: Playlist Part 1 Humming to Myself -- Ambrose & his Orchestra -- Faithfully Yours My Sin -- Ben Selvin & his Orchestra -- Am I Blue By A Waterfall -- Jack Payne & his Orchestra I'll Always be in Love with You -- Belle Baker -- Belle Baker (Encore 1) Love Me Tonight -- Annette Hanshaw -- Annette Hanshaw, Vol. 2 Playlist part 2 Ya Gotta Know How to Love -- Sam Lanin and his Orchestra The Way I Feel Today -- McKinney's Cotton Pickers Mountain Greenery -- Frank Crumit -- Rodgers and Hart, Vol. 1 Everything is Rhythm Medley -- Charlie Kunz -- Feller that played the Pianner Playlist part 3 Hot Coffee - Jack Payne and his Orchestra If You Believed in Me - Colonial Club Orchestra Strangers - Mildred Bailey Happy, because I'm in love - Libby Holman - Deep Purple Menace Puttin on the Dog - Missouri Jazz Band Playlist part 4 Flapperette - The Victor Orchestra and Nat Shilkret - 1927 ?

This is helping me with my writing. My book is set in the early 1920s. Feel as though I'm really in that era...great stuff :-)

most gangster fuckin tracks i ever herd. im thugggin to this as we speak throwin sets and bangn jhhhhhhhhhhhhhhu hurd

i was not born close to this time im from 1994 but gosh i love this music its so amazing nothing like todays music i can listen to this for hours and hours and not get tired of it im glad i got to fall in love with this type of music.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with the responses these tracks have been getting and the number of hits is humbling. Cheers!

Listened to this on my way to play some CoC and this was just perfect for getting me in the mood. Now time to try and not day.

I love these four videos. For some reason they help me focus on work and tune out distractions. Just wanted to let you know I've been listening to them over and over! Thanks.

I can't get enough of this playlist. Great music, especially the Annette Hanshaw song. Thanks so much for posting this!

1920s jazz, best music ever...

Some of this stuff crushes my heart.

Looked up 1920s jazz, this is what I was exactly looking for.

A beauty song shall be heard, the crows shall send all the messages to the other who haven't heard this music...

Two of my favorite things...Lovecraft and vintage music!!

Great music, it reminds me of the old days when i was a young kid in the streets of Boston... the olde days ....

These videos are great. Thanks for posting them. These songs are mostly from the early 30's with a few from the late 20's.

This is perfect for a horror film

im like 12 years old but I love the 20s music its so catchy

A nice start to 2020.

Love the video and the music, admittedly the first thing that comes to mind is noir/detective, not HP Lovecraft but it works for all situations. Fantastic!

i wish they still made music like this

Listening to this in quarantine 2020💙

This is also good to read Gravity's Rainbow! It balances the pain of the reading.

sounds like the background music from the tv series" Tom and Jerry"

// I do have to say this is some pretty good music. I like to draw and listen to this type of music. Also, it is very calming genre of music. :)

Fallout 3 = 1950s, HPL = 1920s/30s.

Love & Victory? or should I say _LoveCraft_ & Victory~

Thank you so much, I'm about to run a Lovecraftian Horror RPG with my friends and they know I'm a big fan of cosmic horror but I never have just the right BGM to play!

Your Lovecraft videos are great. Thanks for them. I've been streaming these videos as I make my way through the new Arkham horror card game. The Fantasy Flight game is fantastic, and with your videos, I get completely immersed. Good stuff.

I love the 1920's i like to see that era because a lot of music in that time were original and not crude.

SOOOO beautiful. Much respect to you for uploading this.

Awesome, I'm setting up for a Cthulhu game coming up soon and this, along with the other ambient stuff you posted is exactly what I've been looking for

I'm literally reading call of cthulhu and was looking for background music

Strongly agree! Same applies to rhythm and blues and what they now call 'Modern R&B'...

Classy, unlike the period appropriate racism. Great collection btw!

Thanks for putting all of this together.

I searched "Miskatonic Jazz Ensemble" and this came up.

This is one of the secrets I keep from my other friends. Gosh, people suck in middle school :(

It reminds me of old Bugs Bunny and other cartoons. They were still popular in the late eighties when I was a kid, and this type of music featured prominently.

Tom & Jerry!!! these songs take me back to my childhood!!!!

This is ruddy mysterious.

@paddirn Excellent, thanks for your comments - glad these are clicking with people and getting some use. :)

Jazz back then is way better than 2013 for my opinion

Don't worry, you'll be older and meet proper friends with similar interests eventually. I'm in university and here at least nobody really bats an eyelid if you listen to early 20th century jazz and swing.

ok so what's the name of the song at 5:59 and who is the artist? .. much appreciated .... so far that I've read here... the 1st song is... Hummin' To Myself by Chick Bullock 2nd song is... My Sin by De Sylva, B. G., Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson, 1929 3rd song is... in question... 4th song is I'll Always Be In Love With You by Belle Baker 5th and last song is Love Me Tonight by Annette Hanshaw thanks so much for posting this music @ Tristan Hall!

I love this music, I love Lovecraft and his "Ctulhuverse" or "Yog-Sothothery" (as he would say himself), and I am currently preparing my own dark fantasy / decopunk novel set in 1920s-30s Scotland in the vein of Arthur Machen and Algie Blackwood - check out my concept website for more info: url available on kind request...

Thought the music is definitely of its time, its quality and appeal are timeless imho.

Great selection of songs.

Wow this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks so much for compiling this!

i can conclude that most of us enjoying listening to this music because of three hypothetical reasons: 1) We have very good ears when listening to any type of music even if you didn't existed. 2) We are nostalgia nuts - we love anything old, cruddy, rusty and yet heartwarming like your brain is on cloud nine floating to the sounds of yesteryear OR 3) We DID lived those eras and when we passed we were then reincarnated back to life in another era... or maybe history/timeline through our ancestors, great grandfathers/mothers - in short its in our blood. & for others that don't enjoy any of the eras (which is impossible) then they were reborn as bugs or something, jk

Very soothing compilation

forgot to add - automatically subscribed!! I love it keep up the good work. Tristan hall you got good taste

I see some of the posts on our Pax41 Music Time Machine channel make reference to Call of Cthulhu. I guess since the book is from 1926 that would be why the 1920s music on the channel is drawing attention from Call of Cthulhu followers.

I love this music

Jack Payne - and thanks!

Anyone who consecutively magines end of the world scenarios and/or H.P Lovecraftian horrors to this music has more than a little bit to worry about lol

Beautiful Music

what a relaxing play list superb sound

Question: What would the system for crediting you or using your music in a liveplay CoC game? Trying to put together some music options for a live stream!

Love it. Beautiful and original.

The first song is the music that plays when my oc Cartoon Fox is near by in her real form but don't worry unlike Cartoon Cat, Cartoon Fox is harmless and usually wear shades over her eyes so that you don't get cursed if you and Cartoon Fox were to look at each other

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

Protip Set this to 0.5 speed Sit in a dimly lit room and read, write, whatever You now have that creepy eerie atmosphere you've been looking for

I listened this song while looking my old cats picture and that make me cry

Great music.....Thanks!

This reminds me of the old tom and Jerry shows and other similar to tom and jerry

The greatest music is from the 1930's. The 40's and 50's don't even come close. Listen to pax41 's uploads. I made a playlist called ' Some of the best pax41 uploads in my 'umble opinion! ' ' By a Waterfall ' is in the 1933 film called ' Footlight Parade '. HD7100 plays a nice rendition on his Wurlitzer pipe organ in his house. I play organ as well so I encourage everyone to give organ music a fair listen. Laurens Hammond invented the Hammond organ in 1934. 30's music sounds beautiful on it!

You are most welcome. Remember to check out the other tracks too!

I belong in this era

You are most welcome.
