Western Ambience 3 - Appalachia | Red Dead Redemption Inspired 1 Hour Music & Nature (New Hanover)

An original ambient music track inspired by the Red Dead Redemption 2 soundtrack and gameplay, featuring photos and recordings of the American landscape. This one is fall themed, with an Appalachian vibe (like the area of New Hanover in the game).
All music written and performed by me. Nature recordings by myself with additional recordings by Austin Lemke. Photos courtesy of Pixabay.

[@MrCleates]

@@DavidCrites07 "Ey, mister. You got the time there?" "Well thanks for nothing, ya idiot" :D

[@FTChomp9980]

Strawberry is definitely one of my favorite towns in RDR2 especially with the river flowing in it basically its relaxing.

[@murphnturph2664]

I grew up in the hills of Pennsylvania. The sounds of the birds and cicadas, and the guitars and banjo make me feel like I'm back home.

[@adamt3474]

Appalachian GA here. I felt exactly the same way listening to this

[@JoshJay]

PA FTW

[@MrRyanMooMoo]

its actually eastern ambience. appalachia is kentucky virginia. the hills in the photo look like red river gorge

if I was out there and I heard guitars and banjos I`d be thinking `Deliverance`

I'm Japanese and never have been to western area of America, but these tracks are so cool and comfortable.

[@ArthurMorgan18993]

Well actually the Appalachian mountains are in the eastern United States so the title gets it a little wrong but the pics and sounds are very accurate coming from someone who lives there.

[@plantedragon4319]

@@ArthurMorgan18993 it's because the theme is based off of a western game, which partially takes place in the east.

[@foundation9067]

Way back when, the Appalachians used to be about as far West as you could go until the gold rush.

It's pretty cool that you perform all of this yourself and aren't just uploading music from the game. I appreciate the extra effort!

[@JoshJay]

This is probably my favorite piece of music on the internet. We literally listen to this everyday. Thank you for making this

[@sreneethomas]

Agreed!! I could listen to this literally all day on repeat!! It really does make me think of all my hikes I’ve done in Appalachia, and will continue to do! Love it in those woods! Thanks so much!!

wake up babe new steven lynn rdr2 western ambience just dropped

[@StevenLynnMusic]

Hahaha

[@eloicpotel7272]

Thanks for another masterpiece. I can now feel like i am riding my horse with Arthur in the New Hanover forest while doing my homework. This region is my favorite in the game. It feels like melancholy.

[@shotgunsurgeon3849]

I am going to invest so hard while listening to this

[@jeanbon6807]

Imagine being so rich that you own the most famous videogame company in the world, creating an awesome western-based game with huge potential, making thousand million dollars selling it, then letting it die for no reason.

[@zhanurdos]

They just focusing on the products that gives huge cash GTA v , gta 6

[@_Azurai]

@@zhanurdos Yeah, but they could still give a shit about the incredible, immersive world with a bustling community that they've failed entirely to foster here with Red Dead Online

[@JoostArchives]

I just saw that someone else commented that this was original work and I feel the need to highlight how impressive that is. I love ambience and have listened to hours of it whilst working on whatever, but this strikes the perfect balance between peaceful, focus, daydreamy and contemplative for me. Thank you so much for making this track and the other 4 like it! Subscribed.

[@diplodorkus970]

gotta say i think the part starting at 2:42 is my favorite

[@j.kielkiel1144]

Awesome atmosphere to have while reading! Thank you for these western ambient compositions!

[@StevenLynnMusic]

Thanks for listening

[@genericclickbait5405]

Another classic. Love how this track feels like it has distinct parts to it. Also reminds me of the last of us soundtrack in spots

[@TheKipchak]

That bit that starts at 26:38 hits just right

[@matroskingoo]

do you have name of music?

[@CoralCaper]

As someone living in colorado, this is basically what it feels like to

[@Waterkiller_AK]

Love it! I am using these Ambiences while I read about the American Civil War. Great stuff! Thank you and greetings from Germany :)

Listening to this while reading Blood Meridian is peak.

[@YouEatBabies1911]

[@user-os3jc4zr4t]

Mr. Lynn; I have an extremely stressful job. Your Western Ambient series has gotten me through MANY rotten days. Thank you for such fine work!

[@user-os3jc4zr4t]

and by the way, I live in the Appalachian foothils of the Tennessee Valley. These sounds are so wonderful. They keep reminding me of the life I want, not the life I have.

[@knightshousegames]

Step 1: Start this Playlist. Step 2: Start up Project Zomboid. Step 3: Be immersed. Also at 34:16 my mind can't not insert at certain parts "...and shes buying a stairway to heaven"

[@amberraining9546]

you meant RDR2 right

[@knightshousegames]

@@amberraining9546 Nope. Project Zomboid is a game that takes place in Appalachia, so it works there too

[@FreeTheRats_]

@@knightshousegames same as fallout 76. Not quite as peaceful but it works too.

[@knightshousegames]

@@FreeTheRats_ I mean, Project Zomboid is a game that has been in Early Access with a tiny team for like 10 years, and it still feels more finished than Fallout 76

love listening to this while Reading JoJo part 7.

[@MachineDesign-ko8sm]

You sir are extremely talented. I thought this was just music from the game but realizing it's original is mind blowing. Quality content. Thanks for sharing it.

[@zhanurdos]

Another masterpiece

[@thomasmatthewson8967]

Very appropriate to listen to whilst reading Bill Bryson's Walk in the Woods where he hikes across the Appalacian Trail.

[@offroadoverlords]

I've been working on a book for well over a year now and your western playlists are great background music for while I write. Really sets the tone and feel.

[@Harvey23124]

this is literally saving my life during finals lol

[@jackkarpoe6228]

As someone who was born in the Catskills, NY and grew up in western VA, the nostalgia of chapter 6's setting was the only part that made me feel remotely good during that point in the story

[@5nake817]

the part from 34:05 onward is totally my favorite song of this ambient music playlist. Makes me think so much, so deeply

[@JamilCraft]

If you like that you will like Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin lol, it's the same tune!

[@5nake817]

@@JamilCraft Yes, that actually is a song that I like :D

[@watermelon_cat6056]

I think it's based on the main lick on Hurt by Johnny Cash

[@reptarbar5977]

this is absolutely gorgeous- while listening i thought very much of home and am getting emotional about it all over again. whenever i eventually make it back to my hills i'll have to come back to this video. thank you so much for making such beautiful original work- you've got quite the talent!

[@bludog1878]

In my Western Mountain Man era.

[@MeghamDraws]

Omg I'm a idiot and have been listening to these videos for ages of yours thinking they were from the game. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort into these they're sublime!!

[@the32712]

I live way back up a holler in deep Appalachia. Our farm ranches from 3400ft at the lowest to 3600ft at the highest. Peaks surrounding me reach about 5000ft. We get hammered with snow in the winter (now) even when the rest of the county gets nothing but sunshine. On the flip side, because we're so cold, we've never gotten above 87 degrees in the summer. This will be nice to play in the background while I'm blacksmithing on the farm.

[@DK-nv9zu]

Caught a little Zeppelin in there. Fantastic

[@anniesheldon3692]

thank you for making these, i have a bit of a youtube addiction and putting these videos on helps me to be a lil bit healthier and avoid rotting my brain. I also love writing to these mixes

[@benstorms7170]

Great soundtrack. If a RDR3 ever gets announced, I'm sure we'll be seeing your name in the credits :)

[@monoponok8998]

Every time I think I'm finally finished with RDR, I come across some music or a clip of the game that makes me want to re install it lmao

Hey, glad you like it! I watched all your videos, haha, really great job sir. I don't know where you get the music for your videos, but let me know if you want me to write some custom music for you for some future productions!

Your Western Ambience tracks have been my go-to work/concentration soundtracks for the past week. I am really enjoying the sounds of nature with the gentle instrumentals. I love how the instrumentals pick up every once in a while, like after the 26 minute mark. It's just so pleasant! Thank you for sharing your hard work with us, I can't wait to hear more :)
