he is the sidequest

Hes found in a really obscure corner of the map in a snowed in bar playing songs but not speaking at all as you get closer to completing your quest his playing becomes more frequent and almost seems to react to the emotions of your prior quest and sometimes seeming to predict what will happen in your next, still he doesnt utter a word

It is multiple instruments at once, he has an organ and drums playing in the background

@@ThatGuyBobby No organ, just drums. The droning sound you hear is resonance from the strings on the top and bottom of the Hurdy Gurdy.

​@@xBloodBoundxthe organ is mentioned in the title, also you can hear it join in at 0:16, playing not only drone notes but also following the main melody line.

Ooorr you can play sea of thieves. They have this insturment

Incredibly underrated comment. Very cool observation.

I don't disagree on how cool that is but to be fair, unless you're watching a string orchestra, you rarely can hear when they switch bow direction. This is an instrument I want though. Also sample libraries mimic that concept. But this is still one of the original and coolest ways to approach that idea.

The electric clarinet can do that infinite note thing. Pretty sweet.

Kinda like a bagpipe lol, sounds like one too imo...

Imagine having 2 of each instrument, so that one covers. Or better yet. Breath when you're supposed to!

the organ addition in the video is what makes it sound so captivating tbh

why do i hear boss music

Dude, that makes me sad. That makes me appreciate portable devices so much more. I would imagine people cry in theaters just because how beautiful it sounds. And how also rare to hear instruments like these.

I think most people either sang or played an instrument of some kind lmao. After all it's not that hard to carve out a flute or make a xylophone/marimba, even if you're super poor and can't afford to buy your own say lute or lyre. I mean, tounge drums are some of the most beautiful sounding instruments out there imo and they were originally made by people who wanted to get rid of their old propane tanks. As a species we've always loved music, and I doubt anything could ever take it from us 😊 That being said if I only ever got to hear music from my favourite artists live, that would totally suuuuuuck 😅

If it was stuck in your head wouldn't you be hearing it all the time? Hence, they wouldn't have to wait. There we go, I just solved a problem you dreamt up for people who've been dead for hundreds of years! Unless by this era you mean now in which case I'm going to have to question your mental state.

even worse, having this song stuck in your head without being able to remember more than a fragment, you know you liked it, you know you heard it, but you need to hear it again so you can remember

And with no guarantee the next musician you find will even know the song you are talking about.

Now you can’t afford it if you’re a peasant.

Love your profile pic

Ah i wish as well.

I believe it's mostly because the upkeep of the instrument is a nightmare, and they tend to be expensive.

I agree it's a well written song and perfect for the instrument

Same, it's been a little over a week. The others are all great, but this one carries a strange air of purpose and promise, in a haunting but driving way. The organ and especially the drum bring a very poignant and punctual energy. It's a perfect expression of abstract emotion, and I can't possibly imagine people casually dancing to it like the name implies.

Same. Found this on a subreddit and have wanted to find it on KZfaq forever

It's been three days so far and I can't stop. I have literally begun synching it to other songs that I know. 😂

It's difficult for me to explain as well. It's just pure art.

Eu tbm não! Sentimento fantástico. Parece quando revivemos algo do qual sentimos muita saudades..

technically the Symphonia, the forerunner of the hurdy gurdy, was actually made long before the medieval era. it was thought to originate from early persia and middle eastern origins and saw many iterations, including variants that required two different musicians to operate it, one cranking and the other fingering the frets

Yes, the middle ages are perceived differently through the music of that time.

It's the tonal drone. Modern western music doesn't really incorporate a tonal drone so when we hear music with it we associate it with foreign and ancient sounds. Not to take the magic out of it. I absolutely love the feeling of listening to something that could create the illusion of connection to the long forgotten past.

It's the droning. You get it with bagpipes and the didgeridoo as well.

It's good for a ringtone

to me, it feels like we are on way to poison the well loved king while at a ball in his name. all cheerful but with that ominous "something is horribly wrong here" feeling.

It feels like the moment an abused protagonist realizes their true power and stops letting people walk all over them 😊

It feels like a bunch of clans forced to go to the ball together despite wanting to kill each other.

check out Rob Scallon's video about the Hurdy Gurdy. Learned some interesting things about it like the fact that the top three strings can be swapped for sound.

It's from The Way of Kings, by Nohadon, king of Alethela during the Heraldic Epochs.

@@grantlahti4405 nice!

I don't know what I more amazed by this man or you as a reader. well played the both of you.

Yes.

@@grantlahti4405 I walked from Abamabar to Urithiru. In this, the metaphor and experience are one, inseparable to me like my mind and memory. One contains the other, and though I can explain one to you, the other is only for me. I strode this insightful distance on my own, and forbade attendants. I had no steed beyond my well-worn sandals, no companion beside a stout staff to offer conversation with its beats against the stone. My mouth was to be my purse; I stuffed it not with gems, but with song. When singing for sustenance failed me, my arms worked well for cleaning a floor or hogpen, and often earned me a satisfactory reward. Those dear to me took fright for my safety and, perhaps, my sanity. Kings, they explained, do not walk like beggars for hundreds of miles. My response was that if a beggar could manage the feat, then why not a king? Did they think me less capable than a beggar? Sometimes I think that I am. The beggar knows much that the king can only guess. And yet who draws up the codes for begging ordinances? Often I wonder what my experience in life-my easy life following the Desolation, and my current level of comfort-has given me of any true experience to use in making laws. If we had to rely on what we knew, kings would only be of use in creating laws regarding the proper heating of tea and cushioning of thrones. Regardless, I made the trip and-as the astute reader has already concluded-survived it. The stories of its excitements will stain a different page in this narrative, for first I must explain my purpose in walking this strange path. Though I was quite willing to let my family think me insane, I would not leave the same as my cognomen upon the winds of history. My family traveled to Urithiru via the direct method, and had been awaiting me for weeks when I arrived. I was not recognized at the gate, for my mane had grown quite robust without a razor to tame it. Once I revealed myself, I was carried away, primped, fed, worried over, and scolded in precisely that order. Only after all of this was through was I finally asked the purpose of my excursion. Couldn’t I have just taken the simple, easy, and common route to the holy city? For my answer, I removed my sandals and proffered my callused feet. They were comfortable upon the table beside my half-consumed tray of grapes. At this point, the expressions of my companions proclaimed that they thought me daft, and so I explained by relating the stories of my trip. One after another, like stacked sacks of tallew, stored for the winter season. I would make flatbread of them soon, then stuff it between these pages. Yes, I could have traveled quickly. But all men have the same ultimate destination. Whether we find our end in a hallowed sepulcher or a pauper’s ditch, all save the Heralds themselves must dine with the Nightwatcher. And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived. In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method. The Monarch must understand this; he must not become so focused on what he wishes to accomplish that he diverts his gaze from the path he must take to arrive there. -The 8th parable from The Way of Kings, quoted by Dalinar

That's because it is! The main melody (and a quieter drone) is played on the hurdy-gurdy, but there's an organ playing a drone and a drum track! They were probably added in in editing.

You should look up songs made with the electric hurdy gurdy. They have an even wider range of sounds that can be made from it.

I know it makes he wonder why it fell out of style and never made it big in the modern era

@@Mr.Obongo probably beacuse of the name tbh

@@WorldsofTeranel Actually up until the French revolution it was known as a symphonia and was owned by aristocrats. But after the revolution they ended up in the hands of beggars and travelers granting it a negative association with poor people. Exactly why it vanished for so long is uncertain but given the mechanical construction involved it could be assumed the poor did not have the means to maintain their hurdy gurdy's indefinitely.
