I have been using some Spotify playlists that have worked really well for me.

The Arab World playlist has been clutch for Marwa. Thank you Esfandiar!

I came back from watching Dune: Part Two yesterday, and aside from my eyes and ears being thoroughly rattled (in the best way!), I thought the score was so gorgeous and that some of it could work well for Avaria.

I'm really resonating with low-key dire vibes right now given our characters' situations in the sea of mist, so here are some atmospheric tracks that I found :)

  1. A Sacred Place - David Hirschfelder (Sanctum)
  2. To Zucchabar - Hans Zimmer, Djivan Gasparyan (Gladiator)
  3. Battle of Qadesh - Sona Jobarteh (Motherland)
  4. Light of Life - Sufi Lounge

Everyone has been sharing some fantastic music on here -- some of these are great new discoveries for me!

Since there was ney playing in the galley this morning, I thought I'd share one of my favorite ney albums which happily is available on YouTube: Hossein 'Omoumi, Ney

Since our motley crew of characters is currently in Ensor, here is some music that I gathered as inspiration for the Mistwatch and the misty reaches! Of course this is based on my very limited knowledge and simply going off of the vibes I imagined, which for me boiled down to bleak, dramatic, and unsettling. :))

  1. What Went We - Mark Korven (The Witch)
  2. Valkyrie - Robin Carolan & Sebastian Gainsborough (The Northman)
  3. The Hunter's Path - Martin Przybyłowicz (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)
  4. Storm at Sea / Yggdrasill - Robin Carolan & Sebastian Gainsborough (The Northman)
  5. O Nyghtegale - Daniel Hart, Atheena Frizzell (The Green Knight)

I listened to the ney album while at work and loved it. So calming. :)

 

More music!

El Helwa Di - instrumental cover by the Ayoub Sisters (here is a vocal cover with translated lyrics)

My understanding is that this is a famous classic song by Sayed Darwish! It felt very Avaria/Omrazir to me.

Stumbled across the soundtrack for a film called Bab'Aziz, which incorporates poetry by Rumi! Linking just a couple of songs:

In honor of today's feast, here's some music:

Medieval Party Music!

This is just (ahem) a little less authentic, but I love the atmosphere these tracks create:
