Ithya's Journey - Fantasy Music for Inspiration

[@Carlonec]

so awesome, proud to be a part of it!!

[@BlueTurtle]

Thank you for the great intro music!

[@Atoru]

Your version of Scarborough Fair is great and brought me back memories, so thank you

[@guyjackson1839]

@@BlueTurtle If I give you an idea of an art piece to make do you think you can make it or would it cost something

[@ltstanovich]

@@guyjackson1839 If you like the work of the artist and respect them as a person you'd expect to pay for a custom request ;)

[@guyjackson1839]

@@ltstanovich That’s why I’m asking and not telling them.

[@MrKenpachi28]

Gr 7-9 teacher here: I play these for my kids from time to time when we need some chill-out music. They have been asking when the "next" one was out--thanks for all your hard work BT.

[@numberseven4878]

Damn I wish I had that

[@leonelsalazar2354]

you sound like a pretty cool teacher man, congrats!

[@Sean12248]

@Mark Bedford, he made a new one a few days ago. You can see it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprIoqeBr7mKpdk

[@bobcostas6272]

Hell yeah dude

[@xerahiredgun4254]

that is so sweet and awesome

[@cj461]

I love how the art has the subtle nod to the food stalls unearthed in Pompeii, makes the medieval/fantasy vibe so much more immersive.

[@susanam.826]

That was exactly my first impression. It took me straight to Pompeii. Very nice.

[@Colesign]

@@susanam.826 Just noticed it myself! A very cool shout out!

[@Gabrong]

only thing making it bad, everything is in bad shape. Those paintings would have been in good condition when ppl were still around.

[@Vinemaple]

The food is pretty historical, too. And I say that having the walls, palace, and frescoes run down and falling apart, it adds to the fantasy ambience. The people living in this town now are humbler than the original builders, but they have less to fear.

[@tomoyboy]

@@Vinemaple I think it looks a bit like the description of "Frumenty" which is that medieval porridge with veg, herbs and off cuts of meat, no doubt rather tasty too!

[@morgans4977]

Very nice 'breathy' Scarborough Fair cover in the opening, it's really nice how you work it into the changing scenes

[@zelianwaeckerle5292]

Noticed it instantly, it's crazy how this music can be appealing...

[@alanmonteiro2707]

Thank you! I recognized the melody but couldn't remember where it was from.

[@landonmarek7524]

I heard the progression and got so excited to hear an old favorite performed in a new way

[@Fireheart__]

one of the first songs i learned how to play on the drums, got exited when i recognized it for some reason

[@yannickweber8774]

I rarely post any comments on youtube but i wanted to thank you for your work. Your paintings are lovely, and the playlists are perfect to "travel" while stuck at home. Take care.

[@SoulGodIchigo]

This should honestly be made into a full anime

[@astrid-fp]

yes, please!!!!

[@RosieSquall]

I absolutely love how the character blends in with some backgrounds, like her story just one of the thousands in the city. She's just a small piece of a bigger world and I love how immersive and domestic that is.

[@n.normal1565]

the word domestic.. I haven't heard it associated with familiarity before. I adore it. beautiful!

[@free-can5609]

I'd love to see an animated kinda drama series in this style slash theme. It reminds me a bit of adventure time, just way more grounded.

[@aceboogisback9946]

Look into anything produced or directed by Hayao Miyazaki, such as Spirited Away

[@nathanielcorter5108]

ADVENTURE TIME (theme song starts)

[@starxrox]

I kinda like it without words - just going about his business, exploring the world and we're along for the ride.

[@bitterleafcastle1552]

These videos are starting to look more and more like an animated series, and not just nice visuals to go with the music. I think it would make for a great anime!

[@lewistingler9548]

A sage travels from town to town, searching archive after archive for the answer to a question...one their master couldn't find, but they have promised to keep researching. However, in their travels they find answers to questions they weren't searching for...or would have ever thought to ask, and begin to re-learn an ancient form of magic hidden from the world long ago..... OR Travelling from town to town, our hero is searching for...fun books to read! Everyone thinks they are some wise sage or powerful mage...but really they just have a bit of a natural talent for magic, and the books they read are written by good authors that studied their subject material well. Along the way they develop a reputation for heroism and daring-do...but really they just want to be left alone to read and keep getting pulled into a bunch of stupid adventures. Not alone that, the Big Bad thinks they are studying how to defeat him...so sends agents to stop our hero...

[@patrickbonnette1701]

Just as long as they leave out the fan service please. There's enough of that out there.

[@Vinemaple]

I'd even just happily watch a "slice of life" animation, watching the restaurant-keeper greet and serve customers, and prep food in more complex detail. Interesting and less-obvious looping of passerby... but hey, the focus is the music, right? All this lovely animation is just gravy, and we shouldn't demand more. Love Lewis Tingler's #2, though. And, yes, let's have one without fanservice.

[@aflamewithintheflame]

Is this a videogame or anime😭 I need to know this is very beautiful ❤

[@unitjax9507]

I'm going to be playing D&D using the Theros setting, and this is going to be the background music! Energetic, inspirational, it really paints a picture

[@Sdulcamara]

I'm straight up stealing the setting for a side quest in my campaign!

[@miditrix76]

It gives me memories of the first games where I saw my father playing World of Warcraft, or when I first started playing league of legends, just pure innocence, and the willing to engage into a marvellous adventure, which will surely become a long, long Journey...

[@n.normal1565]

I hope that this isn't a rude question - I mean it in the most gently curious way ❤️ How old are you? I'm mid thirties & have a teenager or two, but I still remember playing WoW when I was a lot younger. Not to know for any particular reason or judgement really.. it was just a lovely depiction. It makes me feel both young and old and ageless. ☺️

[@miditrix76]

@@n.normal1565 Oh shoe ! I just realised today that my notifications about comments were off so I missed so much of replies haha. It's not rude at all ! I'm 21 yo now, a yound dude from a medium city called Lyon in france ! I'm sooo glad that it touched you that way ! It only is a small memory that this video brought up to me and I felt like sharing ! Thanks again bud !

[@PGPetch]

The scarborough fair at the beginning just takes me to the mythical world. Amazing!

[@spacecanuk8316]

The greco-tibetan asthetic is really creative. Love all the little details in the city that imply its history.

[@donut9719]

Greco-Tibetian is the perfect way to describe it! I was having a hard time myself lol. But I definitely see them both in there !

[@Roadkill101010]

I don’t comment or like often, even when I love things, but you need to know that you’re one of, if not the best doing it out here. Thanks for your hours of content. It is appreciated!

[@ChrisPikula]

This is going to be another amazing playlist, isn't it? :-D

[@grim.sleeper]

indeed it is!

[@lasshaley]

These videos make me feel like I’m playing a new Legend of Zelda game for the first time. Incredible feat.

[@andrewdowns3673]

Oh man, you're spoiling us with that movie-quality opening. We are not worthy.

[@Manas-co8wl]

Oh come now. Have some pride. We are very worthy of this majesty.

[@florianpierredumont4775]

< You know, I was something of an explorer, myself. Then, I became the innkeeper ! > Wonderful animation, something that reminds me of Moebius artwork. Good music, and very immersive ambient. A thousand thanks for the upload ! =)

[@petruz00732]

It's just beautiful how authentic this world looks and how well it fits with the music!

[@duseylicious]

Who else has gone from “hotly anticipating the release of the comic” to “hotly anticipating Blue Turtle to release a feature length animated film” 😅

[@MiniSynnYT]

I'm so invested in this universe. Also you really stepped it up for this one - it's amazing

[@elizabeths.2130]

AAAAAA I’ve been listening to the Coastal Village playlist on repeat these past few days cause it’s my favorite, and I’ve already listened to the other playlists too…thanks for the new video! My college classes have a ton of readings this semester so it’s very nice to have this in the background (the only way I can focus)

[@galerights8983]

i love you for not monetizing off these. it makes me want to donate to your patreon. im really thankful.

[@RoronoaEmi]

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme~ So soothing, and lovely animations as always! I loved getting an inner view of the city this time. 😍 As many have said, these videos are just so great to have on while working, both on professional and creative work. Thank you so much for making these!

[@Sean12248]

Far Over the Highlands song Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen is in the latest Fall of Civilizations Podcast episode! It starts at 53:52 in that episode. It's the Carthage episode. I was so happy and surprised to hear it again in a video about my favorite seafaring civilization.

Спасибо за очень красивую музыку и прекрасное видео!

These songs relax me so much that I can study for hours and be happy doing it, it's amazing

[@tpucky180]

I'm so glad I found your channel about a year ago. I like being a part of this group!

[@darelharvey6062]

"The Old Fair" gives me huuge vibes as if inspired by Scarborough Fair. What an amazing piece of art this video is, outstanding in all senses.

[@alexisgarland8004]

This is so beautiful and immersive, as always! Thank you for your lovely art.

[@sukisakuramonteith1719]

This one is one of my favourites on here. Next to the Rainy Day Piano ones! :D i can almost here 'Scarborough Fair' in the background of it

[@Mcgif21]

I like the atmosphere in these, the period between late antiquity and the early medieval age when an old empire is in disrepair. I've always been attracted to this point in history for some reason.

[@Stingra87]

I absolutely adore the art style used in these videos, there's a perfect blend of heavy and minimal details that just makes it look and feel so immersive. I'd love to be able to draw like that.

[@maisteffcreations2826]

Ahh I love this feeling when I wake up and go to write another session and there's a new video of yours. Thanks for your inspiration. You helped me put my dreams into words.

[@edwardlecore141]

There is at least an entire novel of scenes and ideas in this one collection. Thank you for the fuel.

[@edwardlecore141]

3 novels. Thanks again.

[@arsenyprokhorenko8649]

It puts me in a better mood in the morning. I have to go to work that I don't particulary like, but my D&D adventures that I write for my friends in my spare time give me hope, and this music contributes greatly to this! 🗡

[@chillimusicrecords]

Sending you warm wishes for good health, genuine happiness, and unwavering love

[@Sissamcgraw]

I'm dog sitting a little gal who has bad thunderstorm anxiety. We are sitting here weathering the storm with your music and her thunder jacket like champs. I think she likes the distraction. Thank you!

[@arthurbarros5189]

Tell her the story of Thor, fighting the Frost Giants. The thunder is his hammer, fencing evil off.

[@KentoKei]

Still gonna say, this channel is the only one to give actually new songs for each playlist, it's always amazing to hear music that isn't the same 10 royalty free songs on repeat

[@glishev]

I love how there's a story behind the music :)

[@Nomad6763]

I haven't commented much on your work so far but I often find myself listening to them while I write my sessions. They're amazing and you should be proud.

[@user-sm1ol5kj6o]

I’ve been looking for something like this for YEARSSSSSS. WHERE HAS THIS BEEEEN

[@Briselance]

The first music sounds so much like Scarborough Fair.

[@hallejohn]

Beautiful tracks. listening on a more "cooler" summer day. 25°C/77°F

[@Quiscala]

Leaving a comment to feed the algorithm gods: Thank you so much for uploading these Blue Turtle! They're lots of fun to study to, and the amount of effort you put into the animation is mind-boggling. As somebody who enjoys fantasy and has some characters of my own, I find it very inspiring. I eagerly await the next episode in Ithyä's adventure!

[@RAMizer]

I love that you snuck in "Scarborough Fair" :) Lovely music. Thanks for putting it together.

[@yearofthegarden]

I just had some ground breaking ideas about my business work flow and infrastructure design, and I can't help but think this music helped loosen it's grip from the barriers of parameters I am trying to organizing.

[@1KOLYANOS1]

These mixes remind me atmosphere of good ol 2000-2010 times when I watched fantasy films like Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of The Rings while being kid. Remids of time when world was so big, and the feeling of adventure, exploration, and geniune fascination wasn't rare as it is right now.

[@tolnocc]

We ve been Moving stuff and cleaning an attic. Your music accompanied us all along. At times, I felt like a hero. Thank you :)

[@ΜιχάληςΧατζηάστρου]

Oh my God. The Scarbourough Fair adaptation is filling me with emotion.

[@elainaboeger9128]

I just wanted to say thank you. I play your video on repeat while doing homework or studying. They are so relaxing.

[@unwindcitysnow]

Your artistry never ceases to amaze-this creation is not just beautiful; it's an immersive experience that transcends the visual and resonates on a deeply emotional level.

[@Scatty2010]

I'm just impressed that these mixes have gorgeous art and animations. Even good sound effects to boot. Been listening to a lot of these mixes while writing my book, it's criminal that I hadn't seen these videos earlier.

[@Dzdosv42]

Hey, I believe I've now watched every episode of Ithya's journey! I love this series, please do keep it up!

[@mikeschultz817]

The art work very much reminds me of Jean (Moebius) Giraud, one of my all-time favourite cartoonists. Beautiful & enchanting music, too.

I've been listening to these compilations as background music while playing Minecraft. It's honestly perfect

[@ovrair6340]

[@kboltiz]

"Highland Hymn" 11:38 is so well produced and composed. As a musician, it was a wonderful experience.

[@jorismilleret]

The most amazing thing, is that's not a single playlist, but a part of a great story, with animation and background

[@McSwift0421]

The design of the city in this always reminds me of Lhasa and the Potala Palace. Love your work!

[@soulfuldevil]

It's crazy this is about to be 2 years old and I still listen to this on a regular basis. This is such a well put together playlist! Such an inspirational journey and one of my most favorite playlists to worldbuild to. The art is always gorgeous and the curation is perfect.

[@RudolfBuirma]

Hold up, I came here for the music, but the longer intro animation took me by surprise, Impressive stuff!

I really like the subtle touches of sound design along the music ! Such an niche playlist, as all the others. You never disappoint !

[@Skrighk]

You deserve so much. I hope you know that. This is beautiful, not only artistically, but all the little touches. The bells on the sheep, the guard eating soup, the torn paintings in the dinner

Lovely, too good to let it play in the background while doing other things!

[@aceboogisback9946]

This is THE perfect playlist for the autumn and winter seasons!

[@VaelVictus]

The animation and music compilations you have been putting out are top-notch. I took issue with the "fantasy music for study" but all your latest stuff feels directly out of fantasy. It's the perfect place for my mind to be right now. Thank you!

[@T.A.D]

Just amazing ! Thanks for the trip. :)

[@edelgrane9375]

The animations are so simple, and yet they tell so much story!

Thank you for making these... as a fellow worldbuilder who is recovering from illness, I find these playlists to be essential to getting me back into the groove of things. Thank you for sharing your love and your passion for your world. ❤💛🧡💚

[@morganfarquhar9737]

The only music I really listen to when I'm working out my Dnd campaign. Thanks for the help!

[@esperthebard]

I have been listening to a bunch of these Blue Turtle playlist videos recently while working on D&D stuff, and it has been a real pleasure. Something about them gives me a good flow and the right dash of inspiration without being over the top. Honestly, these are bit lighter than what I usually listen to, but I'm finding they have been balancing out my mind's tendency to go a bit heavy and dark. Many thanks!

[@thekyleemadison]

I love this with my entire heart

[@thomasbeauchamp-lefebvre2771]

I rarely comment anywhere, but just know that to me, what you do is important enough to personally let you know. Honestly, everything you do to feed your graphic novel is, in my opinion, peak worldbuilding and has become a true inspiration for my own work. Keep it up, can't wait to see more!
