Festival of the Blazing Sun | Unofficial Curse of Strahd Soundtrack | Ambience & Marching Band Loop

This track is honestly a bit strange. But nothing screams "forced joviality" quite like a slightly off-key marching band. Play this track for an hour and your players will be ready to unalive the Baron, Izek and probably everyone in Vallaki!

The Festival of the Blazing Sun limps forward under a slate-gray sky. A marching band plays a tune that is slightly off-key, their music discordant and lifeless, echoing hollowly through the muddy streets. Townsfolk gather with strained, unwilling smiles, their eyes betraying dread as damp banners droop around them. The overcast skies seem to mirror the collective mood-a forced façade of joy masking an undercurrent of despair in the heart of Vallaki. All will be well...

This track is an ambient piece for the Festival of the Blazing Sun, featuring the murmur of crowd chatter and a "way too" cheerful yet slightly off-key marching band. It captures the forced joviality of the event, with an underlying tension that reminds us: All will be well-but not in Vallaki.
I used a different artstyle for this video as well (as some of you don't like the AI fantasy art). Let me know in the comments what you think of it.

FAQ
1. Is this music created with AI?
No, all tracks are composed and produced by me using virtual instruments in a DAW. You’ll notice that my tracks, especially for Strahd, often revisit and develop recurring motifs and themes - that is something AI can't do.
2. But is the artwork AI-generated?
Yes. I primarily use Leonardo.ai, occasionally adjusting details with Adobe Express/Firefly to achieve the desired look.
3. Why don’t you use real artwork?
I am just a musician, not an artist. I haven’t found a resource with suitable artwork for my videos. If you have art you’d like to see featured in future videos, feel free to reach out!
4. Can I use your music in my videos, podcasts, streams, etc.?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to use my "Curse of Strahd" and "Dragons of Stormwreck Isle" music in personal and monetized videos and (live) tabletop sessions on all streaming platforms, provided you credit my channel in the description.
For my other music available on Spotify and similar platforms, please note that it may trigger a copyright claim from my distributor, who collects royalties on my behalf. This music is fine to use for personal, non-monetized, and non-commercial purposes-just accept the claim rather than disputing it. If you have any questions about licensing, don’t hesitate to reach out.
5. Is this channel monetized?
Yes, you may see ads before and after my videos. All earnings are fully reinvested in music gear and software. I’ve also disabled midroll ads because they’re just too disruptive when playing a TTRPG, which does result in significantly less ad revenue for me. So if you’d like to help keep this channel going, feel free to support me on Bandcamp.
6. Do you even play TTRPGs?
Yes, I do! I’ve been playing D&D for over 10 years now, both as a player and a Dungeon Master. Currently, I’m running "Curse of Strahd" for a group of newbies, and I play a rude halfling bard in a homebrew campaign with another group.

Can I just say how much I appreciate that you take the time to release your songs as loops? It crushes my soul when I find the perfect song for a campaign, only to realize it's a single 2-5 minute track. With loops, it just blends right into the background of the session, and it's lovely.

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Yeah, I know the feeling. 1h loops are just so much easier to use.

[@gutmeat2977]

Came for freaky ass sun, stayed for freaky ass music

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Haha. Thanks for listening. 😂

[@knaz7468]

That is soooo much better than others I've heard. Totally using this!

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Thanks very much. It is certainly a weird track.

[@Angry_IVAN_]

Another specific ambient. One that would be very hard to find. Thank you very much for your work!

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Haha. It is very specific indeed. 😂

I wonder if you can do something with an astral or etheric theme? Just so there's a dynamic there too.

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Do you mean a theme for the astral plane?

[@Angry_IVAN_]

@@FaboMusicRPG Yeah. The combat version.

[@FaboMusicRPG]

Maybe in the future. No promises though. 😀🎲

[@Alerondas]

Lol... I was about to have the Blazing Sun happen in my game last night.

[@merelgerritzen4930]

Ohhh this is great!!!

[@Thorn-xv6bt]

I adore
