Martia 🐋
I create ambiences with original music. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I sometimes venture into sci-fi, horror, history, or plain (but beautiful) natural settings.
I am heavily inspired by books, as I am a total bookworm, by PC games and DnD which my husband loves and talks about. I love long cross-country hikes, that feel like a huge adventure and you can see it in the number of traveling ambiences I produce 😀

You are at the right place if you are looking for ambient music for reading, writing, or work, or background music for DnD.

It's weird how I've grown accustomed to needing a specific background sound to different tasks like studying, reading a book, taking an exam, and taking notes.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I listen to all kinds of different ambient videos with every book I read. I'm always able to find something that matches. Right now I'm reading Strange Folk by Alli Dyer. It's a witchy story set inca small country town in Appalachia. Generations of a family .. lots of history and complicated dynamics... "magic" based off the land. This video is perfect for it.

Somebody gotta invent an award so they can give it to Martia's Muses

[@MartiasMuses]

@@glenellisquinn I'll take it! 😂

[@oldcrone]

Wonderfully peaceful. No distractions.

[@smoath]

I don't want a love potion THAT badly. I'll just keep walking.

[@MartiasMuses]

@@smoath smart choice 😅

[@OrionWisehart]

O’ wise witch of the woods, she who foretold of the end to the hanged one with one eye and sees the web of Wyrd as is it sewn, I have traveled far and wide to learn of your wild magicks. Teach me the ways of the wood, mist, and stone. Help me to learn the language of fang, claw, and tusk. Cure me of the disease of the mundane and reveal me the realms between our eyes have been blinded to. I am yours to mold into your image. I hail to you, witch of the woods! ~ A prayer to Gullveig-Heidr

[@smoath]

​@@OrionWiseharti think you might've posted this under my comment by mistake, i do that sometimes. It would be nice in the main comments where everyone can see it.

[@Ovalnate]

This is so good. The sound is visceral. You can feel the wind through the trees and smell the moss and bark. You can feel the emotion, as well. There's a feeling of isolation and discomfort. You're no longer safe this far out. It's unfamiliar and haunting. I love it.

[@MartiasMuses]

@@Ovalnate thank you 😊 I am so happy you like it ❤️🖤

[@Prawnsly]

Glad they're your favourite to create, they're my favourite too. Especially for this time of year 🎃

[@vanessagishford1187]

This is so eerie. I love the tree sounds creaking

[@themonsterwithin6495]

The sounds of birds have long gone quite. There is rustling in the forest, just beyond sight, maybe even following me. The temperature dropping and the fog settling in as the day approaches dusk. The rustling noise in the woods has gotten closer, stopping and looking between the trees, ferns, and brambles, still unable to locate whatever it is... I am not supposed to be here.

[@monkeibusiness]

I LOVE your minimal approach to ambient music so much

[@MartiasMuses]

@@monkeibusiness I am so happy you enjoy it ❤️

[@lily_evildm2317]

It is so unsettling I love it!!

[@brentsesler7811]

100% Creepy!!! I love dark forests!!!!

[@MartiasMuses]

You are at the right place!

[@maurvir3197]

The dark forest are a favorite of mine too! I use them to set the mood while I'm writing, for which they are an excellent resource. Weirdly, I find them more relaxing than creepy, though this one definitely hits the "hmm..." button. Nice work!

[@MartiasMuses]

@@maurvir3197 I also find them relaxing 🖤 thank you!

[@yoko179_]

I'm in love as always

[@nightmotherasmr]

I love your dark forest videos too, they give me a very spooky nordic viking feeling!

[@yellowzora]

I just finished the dark witch book trilogy by Nora Roberts, that soundtrack would have been perfect for that :D They all live rurally in the Irish woods, with a black sorcerer out to get them, was a lot of fun to read!

[@bsboy773]

This is absolutely gorgeous and might be one of my new favorite ambiences ever!

[@SindustriaI]

This is indeed what I've been waiting for. I only miss the owl screeching and some potion brewing from the chimney also some witches sounds to make it more eerie. But still a great piece 🧙🏻🧹

[@TenebrisArt]

Awesome! I know you have created many of those creepy ambiences but they still are my most favourite background to listen to when I am working. I love that this one is also a little more varied than the previous ones, or at least it feels like it. Also, I see non-AI picture! Glad you found some great artist. c: ♥

[@MartiasMuses]

@@TenebrisArt I am so happy I found this artist! I expect to use a few more pictures from them as the style is just *chefs kiss*. Thank you, as always, I am very happy you still enjoy my work 😊

[@GeorginaNZ011]

This is going to pair well with so many books on my TBR!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

@@GeorginaNZ011 I'm listening to this while reading Strange Folk by Alli Dyer. a witchy book set in a small Appalachian town.. family drama.. secrets... magic based off the land. Maybe you can check it out if it sounds interesting to you. This video is perfect for it too!

[@SilverSprings1997]

I've been on such a witchy kick lately, and this was just what I needed to round it off. Reading Cackle this week, watched Practical Magic last night, and now I see this! Your timing is perfect, and so is this music!

[@MartiasMuses]

@@SilverSprings1997 you really are on a witchy ride! Autumn is just such a perfect season for it! 🧹🧙🪄

[@SilverSprings1997]

@@MartiasMuses It's the best season!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

omg I LOVE Cackle!! Read it last October and going to do a re-read every October because it's such a cozy comfort read. Have you met Ralph yet? 🕷 ☺ he's so adorable!

[@atlanteum]

Have you discovered Lovecraft yet? I can only imagine the Pandora's Box of musical inspiration that might open!

[@MartiasMuses]

@@atlanteum I.know of Lovecraft and am planning to do a video in the future. I haven't read anything from him yet though...

[@atlanteum]

​@@MartiasMuses Having been so badly ripped off by comics and Hollywood for the last 40 years, his stories might not evoke the same sanity-crippling horror as they did back in the 20s & 30s, but you'd be missing out if you didn't curl up with a few of his tales. Please shout out if you'd care for any recommendations!

[@MartiasMuses]

@@atlanteum which short story is the best to start with?

[@atlanteum]

​@@MartiasMuses OhBoyOhBoy... where to start!? I would begin with a few of his shorter tales which hint at the larger, darker picture painted throughout his collected works. Two of my all-time favorites are "From Beyond" and "The Festival," which really establish the Lovecraft tone. Maybe follow those up with "The Statement of Randolph Carter," "Dagon," "The Nameless City," "Cool Air" or "The Temple." If those draw you in, then definitely move onto the classics, like "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," "At the Mountains of Madness," "The Dunwich Horror" and, of course, his signature work - "The Call of Cthulhu." Interestingly, Lovecraft's fiction represents one of the first "shared worlds" of literature. He openly encouraged his friends and others to create stories that take place alongside his own. As a result, we have "Lovecraftian" tales from the likes of Robert Bloch, Fritz Leiber and even Robert E. Howard, among others. Yes... Conan the Barbarian lives in the same world as The Cthulhu Mythos! While I would strongly recommend reading his works IN PRINT [countless editions are available], as computer screens just can't replace the experience of curling up with a good book, you can find his collected works online at -www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/ - where you can also learn more about the life of the author and his impact on horror and popular culture.

[@SeventhSwell]

Interesting. How much, if any, AI goes into making the music?

[@MartiasMuses]

@@SeventhSwell none

[@SeventhSwell]

@@MartiasMuses Very good to know. So many compellation-type music videos being recommended to me by KZbin (I'm a sucker for Fall and Halloween themed ones) and it turns out they're just AI slop. I'll give more of yours a shot.

[@REDINKmysteries]

This reminds me of the magic hamsters that spy on me at night

[@Southboundpachyderm]

this is just a rip off of duskfall from world of warcraft. This sounds like AI.

[@MartiasMuses]

@@Southboundpachyderm I never played WoW, so if there is a similarity, it's just a coincidence 😉 And all my music is human made by me.
