⚜ FREE BANDCAMP DOWNLOAD CODES ⚜

My compilations of medieval and ambient music that I have recorded as demos over the years which will never be published on other projects. Inspired by my misadventures in medieval French villages, by the beautiful unexpected encounters, by the enchanted places deep in nature where histories, legends are told and more. Dedicated to my living region, to my family and to all the people I love.

Glory to the old ways, dark and transporting soundscapes towards new horizons, here is a cult album of Dungeon Synth: Swords and Magic. Wintercry is inspired by fantasy books, nature and good old times, when music was always a magic.

Swords and Magic is the first full-length album inspired by the story of Duul-Asdaat, a necromancer who once was a priest but lost his faith and became obsessed with the Dark Dreams of Four. This powerful yet chaotic creature lives in the rainforests of Belbush and searches for his lost strength through lost souls.

Compositions that are both heroic and with dreamy atmospheres, with sounds played on synths to awaken the world. A mystic gem to have in your collection!

An absolutely magical forest walk 🍁

Full music on YouTube
▶ https://youtu.be/OtJAKY6_LYM

In the heart of the deep woods, this is a beautiful project with wandering atmospheres well worked and very relaxing, if you particularly like the melodies played with twinkling bells and ethereal synths, so this album will enchant you. Surrounded by magical creatures hidden in the moss around every corner of these pine forests, with the inspirations of Swedish folklore and in the storybooks of old that is told to us through each track. Great for a good walk in the forest while picking your mushrooms! 🍂🍄

DESCORT - Ysopet 2nd

For Fief fans ~ Travel through the legends and medieval stories of the native region of Henri Dumois in the fortified village of Rions, gain altitude in the perched village of Saint-Cirq Lapopie, and let yourself be lulled by the magical breeze of Pontias. Continue your walk in the vast forests of the Landes, and set off in search of the treasure hidden by the Tours de Merle. The croaking of the frog king will guide you through the Dordogne marshes, and you will arrive in the early morning at the foot of the ruins of Budos. The zither of Almaric will bewitch the Dragon-Guardian of the winding corridors of the citadel of Mornas for you, and your journey will end gently in the sun of this Provençal castle.

• Cassette limited to 50 numbered copies.

• CD Digipack with booklet limited to 50 numbered copies.

Every Sunday will be a new fantasy day to feel inspired with Dungeon Synth music. A live stream playlist to relax and dream of ancient times, listening to the treasures of the archives, that will be broadcast all day with tracks that I personally enjoy and artists which I greatly appreciate, cult releases and more.
