ASMR Autumn Moods with Edvard Munch (soft spoken, brushing)

[@chrism9493]

This channel is a gold mine.

[@lizzieliverpool]

Can we all just appreciate the absolute research and time that goes into each video created. I look forward to your videos, Thankyou for all the work you put in to help me learn, relax and get some sleep!

[@MelangeASMR]

💛💛💛

[@AlisonEngland2015]

Just want to request that you do other artists and bring these beautiful tracing and explanations back. So relaxing and interesting. Your voice is gentle and the art is inspiring!

[@naturalexplorer]

You always have really good books. Love your art based ASMR with the brush stroking and your reflections on the various art pieces. Edvard Munch is a very interesting artist to explore. Surreal. He seems to blend rich colours with the surrealism to trigger deep emotional responses. Will be watching again (at night) and exploring into your links. Thanks.

[@MelangeASMR]

Munch really fascinates me, but that's at least partly to do with still working my way through what it is that I'm actually seeing. The tone of the exhibitions was also surprisingly different - I walked out of the one in Vienna the first time and thought, wow, what an unlikeable fellow, while the one in Norway felt a lot more sympathetic. But yeah, I've found it very rewarding to come back to his work and I'm happy I get to share that little obsession with you :) Thank you for watching!

[@emabb9396]

This was wonderful, I always wish there were more ASMR videos like this, exploring art history and historical topics. Also love the top down camera, great lighting

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm happy it hit the spot for you!

[@asmr_beauty]

I know nothing about art and I love how this video actually teaches me so much as I relax! ❤️

[@MelangeASMR]

💖

[@xXxlLEGENDZlxXx]

Oh my word, this may be your best video yet!🥰 I was already relaxed then you bust out the brushes and I just melted at that point 🥴

[@MelangeASMR]

Ahhh that wounds wonderful all around. Clearly I need to remember to get out the brushes more often :)

[@pikaboubou]

Oooo, you should do an 'art nouveau' video, like Alphonse Mucha. It's my favorite art movement, although it didn't get very popular here in America so we didn't get the super cool architecture like some places in Europe. At any rate, your voice is utter perfection. I haven't had real relaxation or tingles in a while, but you totally made them come back. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much for the kind words! And I love that suggestion, art nouveau is gorgeous. I the meantime, I did a Klimt video very early on (linked in the art playlist at the end of the video), maybe you'd enjoy that too :)

[@robotlove3000]

This video is one of my favorites of yours, perhaps my all time favorite.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you!! That means a lot 💛

[@HappyRachel100]

I love the brushing that goes on in these art exploration videos. Would really love to see you look at the work of other artists. Your ASMR style is totally suited to it. Very hygg-ish 😊

[@MelangeASMR]

I'm glad you think so too! 🧡 And there's a playlist linked at the end of the video with some previous art history videos on da Vinci, Klimt, van der Weyden etc. I'll make sure to add some more over time!

[@katieherger4928]

Yay! More art history videos! I love these. You do such a great job of bringing the art to life and integrating history lessons. And I always love the pointing, tracing and brushing. The Scream is such a mesmerizing painting. The idea of it being “ruined” by being so iconic is an interesting idea. That quote intrigued me. This is another spectacular video. You’re simply the best!!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much, Katie! And yeah, that quote really jumped out - and it made me think of other works too, even if they don't have to do with that specific emotional response. Like here in Vienna, Klimt's The Kiss is used in tourism and marketing so much, I literally can't see it anymore haha, my eyes just glaze over. And it's a a shame, it's a gorgeous painting!

[@katieherger4928]

@@MelangeASMR I had a similar response to Van Gogh’s Starry Night. On one hand it was cool to see it in person, but it is so overused that it certainly wasn’t as captivating as it would have been on first viewing. Same with the Mona Lisa. I was much more interested in other paintings around it that were new to my brain. (Also didn’t want to fight the crowd around the Mona Lisa 😂)

[@MelangeASMR]

omg yes the Mona Lisa really is extreme!

[@zackerythomas3675]

Your SSMR voice with that Austrian accent is hypnotizing.

[@MelangeASMR]

🤍🤍

[@LoFIJak]

I love Munch's work. It's so full of feeling. I hope you had a lovely holiday x

[@MelangeASMR]

Haha yeah, I love how that seems to have been the most scandalous part about it. Too much feeling! Thank you, it was very nice! Just too short :(

[@jaynemachen7193]

Autumn is my favourite season. The air feels new and fresh after summer and I feel re-energised. I love the colours and the excuse to snuggle up indoors in the evenings.

[@MelangeASMR]

Same, it's such a beautiful season!

[@catarinaramalho1899]

I’m always in doubt whether to fall asleep to asmr or learn the content of the video 😂 amazing channel, amazing research. Thank you

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much, and personally I vote for sleep!

[@ReevesRacingKY]

Thank you for sharing your voice, your thoughts, a bit of your personality. Art comes in all forms. And to those who appreciate it, our lives would be so much less without it. Whether it is a painting, music, poetry or what you share with us in your videos. I feel I can speak in behalf of most of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your inner beauty, your personal form of art, with these videos.

[@MelangeASMR]

Those are very kind words, thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I'm always touched by how lovely of an audience I have. 💜

[@sophiew3060]

This video is genuinely my favourite video of yours! I've come back time and time again since you posted it and watched it so much that some of your words are familiar to me as you say them haha 😆 🤗 I just find Munch such a fascinating artist and you capture the essence of his work so nicely, I love how you point out small things that I wouldn't notice and share your own opinions on the works!! I love your art history videos so much and I know you must have a long list of videos to make haha, but whenever it takes your fancy I would absolutely love to see a video like this again ❤️ Just perfection and it makes me so sleepy too, the perfect equation 🫂💖🎨

[@AlisonEngland2015]

Wanted to thank you for the very interesting and reverent way you handle, art and language in history. I am involved deeply in the arts and when I need to relax sometimes even after a meditation these are so wonderful. Thank you.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Alison! That's a joy to hear, especially on a topic like this one that I love so much.

[@TheGravityRainbows]

Hope it was a fabulous trip! Delighted that you're back. Can't wait to enjoy this tonight!

[@MelangeASMR]

It was great, thank you! Südtirol is such a stunning place, I wish I could have stayed longer.

[@TheDagda1000]

Another mesmerising, scalp-tingling presentation from Melange. Thank you. ❤

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much, Geoff, it's always a joy to see your comments!

[@thenorseguy2495]

Welcome back from vacation. I hope you had a really nice time🥰 I’ve been looking so much forward for this video 😱

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey, thank you! Hope you enjoyed it - I don't know if there's much I can tell Scandinavians about Munch haha.

[@leesirett5250]

Found this channel a few weeks ago and am so pleased I did. The very essence of what I look for in ASMR. Thanks!

[@MelangeASMR]

That's wonderful, thank you so much!

[@bgump55]

Very interesting! Thought provoking and poignant too. Oh and perfect ASMR. Wunderbar! (I hope that’s a word).

[@MelangeASMR]

That absolutely is a word and one that is great to hear! Thank you so much 🤍

[@musicalintentions]

This was lovely, thank you! I'd love to see you do a video on Edward Hopper's paintings.

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh that's a neat idea, Hopper would be great!

This is wonderful

[@SS-te3nl]

love seeing a new video from you it makes my day!!!

[@MelangeASMR]

💛💛😊

[@awsome182]

I love your videos and really enjoyed this one. Learned a lot about Munch. I especially love your map videos and was wondering if you were also open to do a video about fictional maps? The map of Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) is coming to my mind and think would be wonderful to do an ASMR video about. Many greetings from 🇩🇪 to my neighbour 🇦🇹

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! And yes, LotR has been suggested a couple of times recently. I'm already on the lookout for a nice map :)

[@IsItOrNot]

Can’t wait to watch this tonight, I ❤ autumn and I ❤️ Munch!

[@MelangeASMR]

Perfect combo, right? 🧡

[@IsItOrNot]

@@MelangeASMR Watched it. Loved it.😁 ❤️ I really enjoy your art videos. You have beautiful sensibility and insight.

[@JJMedusa]

-- This video is fabulous! I really enjoyed it. I think that the artist Rene Magritte would be a great topic for you to explore in a future video. 😊❤️

[@MelangeASMR]

Excellent, thank you! And I'm not very familiar with Magritte, but surrealism in general is a great idea 💛

[@skyfall2430]

Hello! I'm a new subscriber, I love your videos! Can i ask which camera do you use?

Hi, of course: black magic pocket cinema camera 4k and canon 70d.

[@LazyStarrfish]

What a great video! I learned a lot about Mr. Munch. Perhaps you could do another one on another great artist one day 😁

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! If you like art videos, I've made a playlist (linked at the end) with my previous videos on the topic. It's a bit of a sporadic thing, but I'll definitely add more to the list over time :)

[@MrLion1]

Fantastic video!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! 😊

[@sleepytime5518]

I had no idea about the black metal reverence for Munch. But funny enough, all throughout art school (15 years ago for me), I used to joke that he was so metal for his time and even now. 😅

[@MelangeASMR]

Ahaha you were clearly on to something 🤟

[@levityoflonging22]

I didn't know until earlier this year that the figure in the scream is not meant to be screaming - he is covering his ears and shocked by a loud blast. Munch said it was as if nature was screaming.

[@rzbk]

Which black metal bands are you a fan of? 🤘

[@aperturius]

Please, please do more art books.

[@MelangeASMR]

Will do, but a little more sporadically than the map videos. In the meantime, there's a playlist linked at the end with previous art videos I've done :)

[@lechatel]

The Scream us so enigmatic. is the figure the screamer, or is the figure covering his/her ears because of hearing a scream. Or both,.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! :)

[@SmallEyez]

I’m a big supporter of your channel and I know it’s a sore spot for Austrians but I felt weird how you kind of glossed over the fact that Arynization was wide spread in Austria and according to data all of Austria except a small minority supported and in fact help facilitate the final solution . The darkness of Austria should be highlighted and not shied away from imo especially since you literally only talk about history in this channel except you never cover the real and racist/genocidal origins of your countries rise to power and I had to call it out. Hopefully you do a video one day addressing this real reality of Austria to give the horrible reality that is your history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria_within_Nazi_Germany

[@SmallEyez]

“A study in 2019 by the Claims Conference showed that 56% of Austrians do not know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust and that 42% are unfamiliar with the Mauthausen concentration camp, located 146 kilometers (90 miles) from Vienna.[41]” this makes me sad that possibly you and your country men and women have been programmed, or worse yet brainwashed and conditioned to not even really know the true horrors of your nation which is why you all probably never talk about it or don’t even have much knowledge on the subject. Before I did my research I thought Austria might be a cool place to visit one day. But it literally is a country soaked in blood and worse yet is only 30+ years removed from even accepting responsibility for their overwhelming contributions to war crimes and genocide. 😢

[@MelangeASMR]

You think a friendly whisper about the Holocaust is a great topic to help people fall asleep? This is an ASMR channel, in case you didn't notice.

[@SmallEyez]

@@MelangeASMR of course I noticed. Again the reason I was given pause is the way in which the history was just brushed over which is pretty much what your entire country has done with this real subject matter. I get it’s a heavy topic but you can’t talk about history and not atleast give ppl real context outside of a quick minute on why those ppl never came back to get their shops that were stolen? There was no reason why they didn’t want to come back? I’m just saying omission or downplaying of history is dangerous and your country knows it best. I’m sorry I couldn’t just watch and not say something . And I honestly think a soft spoken video about the real history of Austria in the last 80-90 years could be helpful and healing for yourself as well as adding to your collection of history based videos. Ultimately Your choice again but I was compelled because of the confusion caused in the way you described what was taken from those ppl. Obfuscate is the word that comes to mind. Your a great content creator but no one is above critique and this is more an indictment on your country and culture you talk so proudly about except not the stuff from the last 80-90 years. Thank you for all you do and I hope you really get the context of what I’m saying and not take it personal.

[@MelangeASMR]

I guess we're coming from two very different backgrounds here in our understanding of what's appropriate for this format and what's not.

[@SmallEyez]

@@MelangeASMR I guess so but there is precedent for this. As you know French Whisperer does history and sometimes hard truth history in his soft whisper ASMR. So I know your giving push back which is fine but I’m letting you know there are ppl who do this. So there is a precedent. I truly hope the message and spirit of what I’m saying and why I went down this path based off your content and unintentional or intentional omissions isn’t lost in this conversation. And again I will continue to support regardless because you are a great content creator who I hope is open to constructive criticism.
