This track has living spirit inside. When thrown on, it's only second to coffee in ability to animate my creative spirit. Here's to Witch Bolt, fighting the good fight!
@@willkimbrell3436 They might just be referring to AI channels using AI art for their videos, as I'm admittedly unaware of any "Ai generated music", not that I'd be happy to be proven wrong xD
@@bickflick No, unfortunatelly there are a lot of dungeon synth channels that use ai generated music. I usually steer clear of channels that post multiple hours of music per month. Some are more obvious and put out a whole album every few days.
Came for the art. Read the story. Listen to the non-AI music. Realize what "Step softly" meant and felt joy in the crafting in my mind. Finally....blissful heartfelt music with passion in each note. Instant subscriber. 💚💚💚
Some Websites already made it custom that you have to mark creations as AI , otherwise this content will be deleted. I think this should be standard on the whole Internet. I am sick and tired of pictures, Music and even videos claiming to be human made when they are not.
I guess your music is so low and quiet and full of ambience and atmosphere that regardless of my hearing loss this isn't something you'd tend to focus on and maybe that's why I really appreciate these vibes that I can hear. Very easy on my bad ears and easier to accept some of the things I can't hear when I don't have to have it on the forefront of my thought like understanding pitch and tone of vocals let alone understanding lyrics.
I appreciate you my friend. Thank you for pouring yourself into this beautiful music, and making it special by exploring the limits of human creativity and thought, rather than using an AI.
This is so lovely. Super soothing after a busy, hectic week. My dad has recently been really into gnomes so I just bought the t shirt on bandcamp for him for christmas haha.
This music is so good, it's the one thing keeping me somewhat alive (studying for 3 exams at the same time is not fun(i procrastinated)), I would love to join Thistlebur on his adventures! Also, all of the album covers look amazing
This is really great, absolutely dripping with nostalgia. It feels like I'm remembering something I saw as a child but I just can't put my finger on what it was, and it makes me want to watch cartoons on a Saturday morning.
As always, the music keeps me coming back for more. Your music has been at the top of my work and writing playlist for months. I really like the blue in this album cover. Reminds me of Elderwood Guardian, the only other album cover to use cool colors instead of warm, if I'm remembering correctly. Looking forward to more of your music!
I dont get a lot of time to just listen to music and relax and tbh i usually listen late at night and drift into sleep. I sent Shroom and Doom to my oldest sibling and they loved it! I really like the story you craft. Thanks for all of your hardwork!
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
This just popped up for me in my suggested videos... I did not know dungeon synth was a thing! Reminds me of an old favorite, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, but like... the floating in a warm bath version. This is so lovely and so so relaxing, thank you. My nervous system really needed this right now🙏🫀
Thanks for listening and thanks for the kind words. DS developed out of interludes from black metal funny enough, there are a lot of wonderful artists out there a lot better than my stuff. If you like this I highly recommend snooping around RUclips
Haha maybe sometime. That'd be a 5 hour album 🤣 If I do I'll just release them on RUclips. I don't want it to seem like I'm taking a second bite of the apple on BandCamp.
Yo el undísono soñar de la intempesta noche represento cuando canto al aura; yo también las almas, musicales brisas que coruscan, feblemente, en la fontana. Thank you for the music.
Tangled chaos of nature. Teeth emerging from the gloom, as great maws inch ever closer. Vines trip up our feet, but we persist, and some of us even inch forward into the black. Old forms die, and we all live in the dreamland. Time hangs, but the children are fat, and wear beards. Raw emotion exhausted has left a long and lingering cold. I feel it. I am drowning, but suddenly there is bedrock underfoot. Ice-cold Fire. I feel it, I fear it. It has the power to liberate or destroy. A path to walk, give me some guidance to follow! No, I cast off those shackles. I laugh. I laugh the deep chested laugh of the condemned. I march onward. Fate is my companion, and destiny is my guide. I do not step softly
It kinda reminds me of the Below's soundtrack, especially the first track, it's a very atmospheric and challenging indie game. So if you liked this music I suggest you to check out game's ost and the game itself, masses have to know about Jim Guthrie's work.
I'm a big fan of your music and I'm glad there are still people out there not plugging everything around with AI work. I was wondering if I could use your music for an art talk video. With all the right links of course. I teach concept art and illustration and wanted to talk in my talk videos about finding your way as an artist among other things.
Thanks for not using AI! Loved it already ❤. Also the synth in the back kinda reminds me of Lorena Mckennits early works. Specially her track called “full circle”. Any influences ? ❤ loved your work. Subbed.
Thanks, and yes. I started doing it recently after getting a million questions, from people who I guess aren't musicians and can't hear the difference. I'm seeing other artists doing it now too. Blue Turtle just started
@@WitchBoltMusic Interesting times. How long before AI claims to be human? But yeah, it should be easy to tell the difference. Thanks for listening to my album!
I am smitten by this music. The deep thrumming that pulses. The reverb. I only wish my speakers could get louder. I want to feel it in my chest. Add in the cool Gnome art and the little description... Awesome stuff. Thank you for sharing. What instruments are you using? Is it all synthesized?
I am DMing a DnD campaign featuring Druids and a major disaster that killed off most Gnomes. I am using this music to inspire content. I am adding a Wayseer that will be the mentor to the young Druid PC. Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words ❤️ It's all synth. The DAW i use is GarageBand. I use a few different plugins but not many. I didn't sample any real instruments on this release.
Hell yeah and thanks for listening 🍄 I'm assuming the number is a joke but On the off chance that it's not... I have to know your method for quantifying your productivity 🤣

WOW! Best and most touching comment so far! 🍄🍄🍄
huge kudos for not just spamming AI generated slop like so many other "Dungeon Synth" channels on here, you deserve the interaction and subscription
Yep. I'm so sick of AI Gen music on RUclips. I was so excited to see new Witch Bolt.
Not AI except for the cover art I guess
@cadetri9716 what makes you think so? i don't see any obvious tells, but i'm no art expert

Thistlebur is a real one.
Oh Thistlebur keeps it real real
kudos just for the non-ai, I'll come back for more!
Thanks for listening!
Down with AI!
Long live the true dungeon synth!
AI can be great for predicting protein folding and writing emails at the end of a long day. It has no place in diy music.
I may not always have the time or focus to give these tracks the attention they deserve, but I'll always love them for the ambiance they give.
I love the soft deep atmospheric songs you have at the beginning like the oaks and hidden among the leaves. Like a sauna for my brain
Haha I love that

Thanks for putting "non-ai" in the title, it feels like it's so hard to enjoy music on youtube these days without running into ai generated stuff
Thanks for listening! It is a shame

It has been a particular issue with DS recently. An odd choice to rip off...
No one is getting rich off DS. It's an incredibly niche genre.
After listening to so many AI's, I was able to find a channel with truly golden content. Thank you for your hard work.
Wow, thank you for listening 🍄
the description rocks
LORE to come 😜
Thank you for drawing my attention to that beautiful prose ❤
After bellow I was waiting for the continuity of this shift in your music. Sorrow, longing, hope, curiosity... all those emotions are there for me.
incredible work, thank you for creating real human music
Thanks for listening! And Thistlebur thanks you 🍄

From the artwork, to the naming to the music itself. 10/10
I finally get to give it a listen, I'm staring at the moon being covered with clouds and then peeking out, it's so beautiful and perfect i could cry
Thanks for the kind words ❤️

That's awesome! Ol' Thistlebur is always willing to lend a helping hand

I really like the artwork for your music, they look like vintage magazine prints, and colors are so naturally harmonius 🙏
As always, the music keeps me coming back for more. Your music has been at the top of my work and writing playlist for months. I really like the blue in this album cover. Reminds me of Elderwood Guardian, the only other album cover to use cool colors instead of warm, if I'm remembering correctly.

Nice! It is now that you mention it
how sad is it that talented individuals such as yourself need to specify that their work is "non-ai". awesome stuff man. keep at it.
Maaaaan music like this listened on only one earphone during a winter hike. Speaking from experience: you HAVE to try this.
I'll try it!
Non-AI is an instant subscribe, is what I would say if I wasn't already subscribed
Feed the algorithm!
same, love it !
I absoutley adore listening to your music while working. Thanks for the quality stuff!
I dont get a lot of time to just listen to music and relax and tbh i usually listen late at night and drift into sleep. I sent Shroom and Doom to my oldest sibling and they loved it! I really like the story you craft. Thanks for all of your hardwork!
Your content is freaking amazing to listen to while writing.
Thanks for letting me be a part of it
the peace of wild things ! what a title !
your music fits my cosmic pace .
finally! a non ai creator who makes beautiful music!
Thank you for your hard work at materializing something into this world for people to enjoy~♡~♡~
I really appreciate that
Thank you for making Non AI content. Nowadays seems super hard to find Dungeon Synth music that is not AI slop
Finally off work to be able to listen with consideration 🖤
Your work is amazing and inspiring
Wow, thank you
And thanks for listening 🍄
I loved getting the map details too, cinnamon stump ✨@@WitchBoltMusic
Thanks for listening! Thistlebur thanks you as well
Yaaaaa new witchbolt!!! Will thoroughly enjoy this in my workshop sesh, cheers !
Excited to listen through another one!
Gracias por darle a mi existencia música de fondo que inspira calma… 💗✨ This music is a blessing to my soul 💫
Wow what a beautiful comment
Thank you ❤️
I love the music and I love the artwork, congratulations!
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
YES
criminally undersubscribed channel. keep up the great work.
I am consistently in awe of the beauty of these releases.
Good stuff as always! I love the art that accompanies your music, by the way!
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

@@WitchBoltMusic that makes a lot of sense! I'll look around when I'm in a snooping mood.
Thank you for staying human!
You can hear the passion put into this! Love it 🔥
Thanks for listening and I'm glad you can hear that ❤️
You deserve a sub for just the description alone! Quiet beautiful!
Thanks for listening
Love the sounds. Always nice to listen when new albums drop ❤
Thanks for listening!
I appreciate the non-AI label. This should be common practice, like maybe we can just label it "real art."
I've thought about "man-made art".
Another beauty, thank you Witch Bolt!
Absolutely beautiful. Masterful work!
Thank you so much 😀
More and more, I need this kind of music in my life.
Haha oh alright. I'll keep making more
Thistlebur is just a chill guy. I gotta go find an eggroll recipe.
Always good to see more music from you!
Thanks for listening!
Hell yessss this is so good
thank you so much for some non-AI music!!
Did not realize this title was from that Wendell Berry poem. I love it, if possible, even more now
Just....Majestic🌠
Fantastic music for studying!)))
Yesss🤎 Appreciate your wizardry. Sending immediately to my friend to play in his grow room 🍄✨🧙♂️
I love this. So glad this is not ai music. Love the names of the songs as well ❤
This is wonderful and not an AI scam, thank you
Thanks for listening ❤️
Love your stuff... it's really special thanks
I appreciate that! Thanks for listening
I love it when the youtube algorithm by some minor miracle actually does its job correctly. ^_^
A little Vangelis here. 👍🏼
Thank you Witch Bolt!
A strange world we live in when you have to announce your music is not AI-generated.
gorgeous sound
awesome tunes
Excellent. I love the "Non-Ai" addition haha.
Hell yeah, finally some real ass music
Perfect for work! Bellow and Howl Wayseer Arrangement, when? 👑
Haha maybe sometime. That'd be a 5 hour album 🤣
If I do I'll just release them on RUclips. I don't want it to seem like I'm taking a second bite of the apple on BandCamp.
i interact with the video and feed the algorithm because i like the video and want more of the video
babe wake up new Witch Bolt dropped
we're going deeper
Maybe it's all connected... 🕸️
For rock and stone?
At last…the jewelled crown hidden in the darkness…my quests end.
Fingers crossed this also gives me sleep paralysis
Hahaha what a compliment
Yo el undísono soñar de la intempesta
noche represento cuando canto al aura;
yo también las almas, musicales brisas
que coruscan, feblemente, en la fontana.
Thank you for the music.
Thank you
Красота!
Guys wake up, new witch bolt dropped
I follow Thistlebur.
Here before the influx of "Wall Gnome" comments (Worthikids video).
I'm here for the peace and tranquility.

Absolutely. Send an email to me at witchboltmusic@gmail.com
Incredible ambience, and I love the bit of lore too. Really appreciate that you're not using AI. Do you do the artwork yourself as well?
I do. I've been making visual art for a while. I primarily use sketchbook and illustrator
💜💜💜
Please can you get these distrod onto Spotify? Amazing work ❤
I'm on Spotify. Or do you mean this ep specifically?
Thanks for not using AI! Loved it already ❤. Also the synth in the back kinda reminds me of Lorena Mckennits early works. Specially her track called “full circle”. Any influences ? ❤ loved your work. Subbed.
I wasn't familiar with her work. I just checked it out. I like it And definitely hear the similarity.
Should I be adding "non-AI" to my titles? We're really at that point, huh?
This is sick btw
Thanks, and yes. I started doing it recently after getting a million questions, from people who I guess aren't musicians and can't hear the difference. I'm seeing other artists doing it now too. Blue Turtle just started
Oh and listened to your album a couple days ago. Awesome ⚔️
Your self-titled album is amazing man
@@WitchBoltMusic Interesting times. How long before AI claims to be human? But yeah, it should be easy to tell the difference.
Thanks for listening to my album!
@@Agrippa91 Thank you!!
Thank god it’s not AI
All my homies love Thistlebur.
And Thistlebur loves your homies.
Step softly.
I am smitten by this music. The deep thrumming that pulses. The reverb. I only wish my speakers could get louder. I want to feel it in my chest.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar dungeon synth that isn’t AI? I really like this album and would like to know other REAL artists!!
