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 KZfaq 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 KZfaq 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. Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no matter what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music. 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 KZfaq 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 have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project). 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! =)

Eyes are the mirror of the soul, they say. But what if I look in the mirror myself? What do i see there? Does it reflect the darkest corner of my soul? What if I got lost in it? Were the shadows behind me just imagination? I dont know. But the mirror is silent like the silence around me. Only the strange face in it looks at me... Thanks again for your music - looove Dark Music - and inspiration!

This music is what I need for my daily 3am state of mind. Amazing

".. The Face is the mirror of the soul .. and the eyes are its interpreters .." Ciceron

The mirror shows the true self beyond the masquerade.

There was once a proud leader much beloved by her people. She strove day and night to protect and care for them. Giving everything she had to keep them happy. But in doing so she forgot to take care of herself. Whilst everyone saw her as proud, happy, and unbreakable she looked into the mirror and saw the truth. She was full of rage, desire, and sadness. She wanted to be set free. She wanted her people to burn. She took a breath and walked out. To care for her people once again. Her inner demons won't win this time.

The main theme of my trilogy of dark albums, the song shares its name with the opening album from 2011, Mirror of the Night. The 3rd album is not out yet but will be soon.^^ You can get the song here, together with all my other music, the song number is 355: adrianvonziegler.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-discography You can also support me and my music directly on Patreon if you wish: www.patreon.com/AdrianvonZiegler I hope you have a wonderful day/night, whatever time it is when you read this text!

Her skin and hair is white, pure as the falling snow from winter. And yet, her anger and fury were darker as the night itself.

She'd been hurt, abused, ignored, unloved. She had no friends, no loving family. All she had... Was the girl in the mirror... The girl in the mirror was dark, her eyes red with burning inner hatred for that she'd suffered. She hissed and snarled to exact revenge upon those who'd hurt the fair girl who sought her company after hours of emotional and physical pain. The fair girl always refused, her heart still too pure to let the corruption of revenge in to play. But how long would it last, before the girl in the mirror got her wish? Before she could crawl from her reflective prison to drench the floor with blood?

Loved these dark albums since I first listened to them. Your creativity is neverending!

He is very famous because he always helps people who need help. Many people who like him and many who praise him. Today his soul says that all the good that he has made is false. Why does his soul scold him? Because all the good that he does is so that he can be famous, so that he is exalted, so that he is admired, and so that he is respected. Today he is disgusted with himself. Today he is kneeling and crying under God's feet. Today he promised that he would be sincere when giving help to anyone. Today he promises that he will truly live according to God's Word. These are the words that came from my soul after I listened to the music of "Dark Fantasy Music - Mirror of the Night". Adrian von Ziegler, you have fed my soul with your music. Thank you, Adrian von Ziegler. ---- © Blacktator.

Greetings from a Peruvian who born in Spain! 🇵🇪🇪🇸

_You aren't looking at yourself when you look in a mirror._ _You're looking at something else._

Another masterpiece from lord Von Ziegler.

The power in the haunting atmosphere, and the darker more sinister energy this gives off, love the subtle expression of the strings in the background as well, they are absolutely marvellous and beautifully flowing in harmonic support for the plucks at the front, the plucks are the driving force for the atmosphere and it's immersive and darker emotion. Around 1:45, this song heads into a different direction, one that is more uplifting for a moment and, let's say, hope-full, it then turns back to it's original mood, dark, sinister, and ghostly in nature. The artwork is so fitting to the emotion as well and the sound. I also love the depth in the piano for this, and the expression brought out through that is moving and contributes a large amount of the darker feel to the song. Masterpiece...

*Adrian posted a new piece -me to my studying: Aight, imma head out

Wow this is absolutely so stunning, really love the mystical vibes and the darker and more sinister energy.

Yet another source of inspiration for a DnD campaign haha. Beautiful!

You're one of my favorite composers & instrumentalists to date, I'm a guitarist of 15 years & a poet & lyricist but what I have to say is that music without singing or words speak volumes. Especially this wonderful genre you provide for all of us. Much love, support & compassion from Canada ♡♡♡

I'm reminded of Nox Arcana's Winter music while listening to this. And the image makes me think of American McGee's Alice or Madeline/Badeline from Celeste.

Adrian, danke für deine wundervolle Musik! Ich höre Ihre Kompositionen seit einigen Jahren auf KZfaq und habe auf Spotify eine neue Wiedergabeliste erstellt, damit ich Ihre Musik mit den an mein Mobiltelefon angeschlossenen Stereokopfhörern genießen kann. Beste Wünsche aus Australien!

Like two creatures of another world

I feel this artwork in my soul.

The thumbnail art is so pretty! And the music as well of course🙂

Dark and yet still so beautiful. Another masterpiece

Ohh dem goosebumps are coming again... Yet again beautifully mysterious and dark😍

perfect sound and perfect music,. 🙂🙏🙂🙂

Embrace the monster within and don't let it control you The question is not to love or fight it is to not let others get harmed by it and to not let the devil change you but to embrace it as a part of yourself We are what we are

The beginning made me think of Fatal Lullaby, and I loved it. I instantly got a chill down my spine.

this hit my gothic side like a truck

Reminds me of Fatal lullaby. They're so similar 😍👌

Absolutely love it! Thank you Adrian! You have made some of my favorite music of all time!!!

Awesome as always!

Adrian Von Ziegler. Out of all the brilliant pieces you've created ober the years, whats your favorite piece, and what been your most successful? Please answer I'm so curious... Keep up the good work man, love it from Australia 👍🏻🇦🇺

This is the first thing I saw when I signed onto KZfaq, how could I not listen? Amazing as always Adrian! This song is so hauntingly beautiful!

So hauntingly beautiful! Loved it.

C'est magnifique !

Your work is simply incredible, your ability to create the most beautiful music is just perfect, know that you have a lot of fans here in Brazil.

I love this piano !

A tale in the Dark Stories Soundtrack. A True Narrative Poem on a Epic Soundtrack.

OTD- Oh The Darkness. I like that...

Awesome!

So ready for the next album 😁😁

Awesome stuff

Mirror's recruitment speeches are like "Hey buddy! Wanna over throw the elves? We have eye liner!"

Dark musics are so calming💖

How do you create such emotional compositions? Every time I listen to dark topics, I plunge into my own fantasy world. Some of your compositions literally drive me to tears. It's great

Halloween vibes. I needed this. 🖤

I love it

Amazing Work ✌️

Exciting and mysterious especially when listening at night.

Love your dark music! Visual works really well here!

amazing again, always love dark music 🖤

Richtig geniales Stück. Ich liebe diese Art von Musik

Dark and very beautiful! Nice work!

Sounds like it could be in a james wan movie! Edit: am halfway through the video and just now got the notification! Lol

Man you are on fire with this burst of creativity! I love it! I'm writing a book with a slight Wonderland theme, you never fail to impress or inspire me! Thank you!

Your dark works are so beautiful as always 🖤🎶

I feel like that picture every day

but this though. this is really good, thank you Adrian

Thank you for responding! Keep making I'll keep listening. 😆

This is dope

the picture reminds me of elyos and asmodians :)

I love this art and music. Could very suit for some horror metroidovania game.

Very good 👏👏👏

This was just the inspirational music I needed to think of a stylization for a plane of death I was messing with! Brilliantly chillingly terrifying!

Amasing this song,love it.Congratiolations.👏🙂

Simply AMAZING!🎶🎼🎵🎼🎶🎵🔝🥰😍❣❤

Sounds like a vampire’s tale. Perfect theme song for my character Zurie Black. I’m thinking that it should be reflecting Zurie’s past of when she was a human until her parents were murdered by a werewolf whose name was Drake Wolf, Jacob’s grandfather. (0:43 - 1:38) The reason why Drake Wolf murdered her parents is unknown for now, but all in all, that is the reason why Zurie hated werewolves and wants to take over the Moonlight Forest, though really residing in Batwing Passage. 🧛🏽‍♀️

Everyone gets the darkness in them

This would complement really well with a tense scene of a clockwork music box with a small mirror behind the ballerina.

American McGee would love this one!

Waaouh! I'm new to this kind and i must recognize that it's wonderful!

Good. Very gootsound.

I commented something similar just now on an older video, but I kinda want a better chance of you seeing it so I’m saying it again here: if my novel could be made into a movie or something with you composing the score, it would be a dream come true. Your music is incredible. The depth, the things that cannot be described with words but is perfectly expressed with music... it’s wondrous. The idea of your music one day being matched with my characters is sometimes the only thing that propels me to keep working. So yeah, weird compliment but I just wanted to let you know how stunning your music is and how much it means to me.

Adrian this song is perfect)

Crimson gate vibes!

진짜 대박이다...

So pretty and haunting! ❤️

dark elegance

Your Music is Fantastic. Will be using it in upcoming KZfaq Project. Subcribed, Great work thankyou

The picture is really gorgeous and the music is trully bewitching, well all is perfect ! ^^

A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock

Nice musical

You can't appreciate the light, without embracing the dark.

This song gives me mixed impressions,one moment it's dark music and the next moment it's more sad. Regardless, it's a very interesting mix of different types.

Beautiful gothic song👌...good luck 👏
