***** My friend cthulu is a monster a myth created by a great writter HP Lovecraft the author of the book 'at the mountains of madness' and other fantastic books.
So I see. Lovecraft has the same facial expression in every single photograph taken of him, he also exhibited symptoms of Schizophrenia, do you suppose he really believed what he wrote?
It's a nice idea. I live alone I should put a timer of some sort to start playing old jazz shortly before I am supposed to come. Gotta find a program on my pc to do it
Love it! But it's mostly 1930's. Here are the titles and some of the artists: Hummin' to Myself - (written in 1932) My Sin - (written in 1929) By a Waterfall - (1933 from the film "Footlight Parade") I'll Always Be in Love With You - sung by Belle Baker 1929 Love Me Tonight - sung by Annette Hanshaw 1932 (love her!) Thanks for turning folks on to this amazing stuff!
Come to the fabulous Gillman Hotel in wonderful Insmouth...a lovely sea food menu, and interesting locals...or if you prefer...take a glorious trip to the enchanting Dunwhich. And then there's the undiscovered colors from who knows where... not to mention the storm from beyond and the Dreams in The With House...or......something like that ;)

I first listened to this in Cannery Row while eating clam chowder and watching an ominous fog roll in from the harbor. I come back to video every now and then to remind me of my old hometown.
6 years on and I stumbled across this and used it in a Call of Cthulhu game. Humming to Myself played in a creepy mansion, the record starting by itself. I added some reverb and muted the track so it sounded like it was in another room a fair distance away. I also started it with a big record scratch. Thanks for the upload!
I hope you are thankful for stone age music. When I was born there was no music, the world was in black and white... and nothing existed. Do you know how long it took me to get some music ? Millions of billions of trillions of years! AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE MP3, FML OR EVEN STONE TABLETS! SUCH BLASPHEMY OF HUMANS NOT TO HAVE SOME STONE PLATE FOR ME
jesse brown From the primordial dawn of mam, I languish in nonexistence. What crude facsimile of comfort I can find lies in the mad, eternal cacophony of countless drums and flutes played by beasts which dance in the court of the Daemon Sultan.
I'm 147 years old and it warms my heart that kids these days like this kind of music. I knew Howard personally ( we used to go on Zeppelin rides and smoke opium together) and he hated Jazz. Said it was too ''ethnic'' for his tastes. He was more of a Wagner kind of guy. I still dig it though. Reminds me of a girl I used to date back in 1924. her name was Elsa, and she loved to dance. But I had to sacrifice her to an eldritch abomination so i could live for an unnaturally long time. C'est la vie. Oh, and *Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!*
This... is actually rather interesting. Most people think of ambient music as background music, but few actually remember the music that would be playing at that particular period of time. Great selection, reminds me of the swingy tune called Smile at Me they made for the Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth game.
I love these four videos. For some reason they help me focus on work and tune out distractions. Just wanted to let you know I've been listening to them over and over! Thanks.
So beautifully I went insa-- IÄ! IÄ! PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN! Where was I? Yes -- at how I went insane -- but I'm not insane -- yes I am -- I see it coming -- Yog-Sothoth save me -- the three-lobed burning eye --

If someone were to ask me what my favorite music was, I would say classic rock because I've always said that. However, the older I get, the more I love this music. It reminds me of riding in the car with my grandfather. How wrong I was to dislike it back then. Cheers to you all and thanks for posting!
Question: What would the system for crediting you or using your music in a liveplay CoC game? Trying to put together some music options for a live stream!
You could say that I (Tristan Hall) assembled and mixed it, but I don't own the rights to any of the actual music, which is why UA-cam advertises all over it. :)
Awesome, I'm setting up for a Cthulhu game coming up soon and this, along with the other ambient stuff you posted is exactly what I've been looking for
I love this music, I love Lovecraft and his "Ctulhuverse" or "Yog-Sothothery" (as he would say himself), and I am currently preparing my own dark fantasy / decopunk novel set in 1920s-30s Scotland in the vein of Arthur Machen and Algie Blackwood - check out my concept website for more info: url available on kind request...
Love the video and the music, admittedly the first thing that comes to mind is noir/detective, not HP Lovecraft but it works for all situations. Fantastic!
This is more or less my audio background for my Cthulhu. I just love to see my characters invest in bonds. As if they thought they could survive an Ancient One.
Your Lovecraft videos are great. Thanks for them. I've been streaming these videos as I make my way through the new Arkham horror card game. The Fantasy Flight game is fantastic, and with your videos, I get completely immersed. Good stuff.
ok so what's the name of the song at 5:59 and who is the artist? .. much appreciated .... so far that I've read here... the 1st song is... Hummin' To Myself by Chick Bullock 2nd song is... My Sin by De Sylva, B. G., Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson, 1929 3rd song is... in question... 4th song is I'll Always Be In Love With You by Belle Baker 5th and last song is Love Me Tonight by Annette Hanshaw thanks so much for posting this music @ Tristan Hall!
i was not born close to this time im from 1994 but gosh i love this music its so amazing nothing like todays music i can listen to this for hours and hours and not get tired of it im glad i got to fall in love with this type of music.
Thank you so much, I'm about to run a Lovecraftian Horror RPG with my friends and they know I'm a big fan of cosmic horror but I never have just the right BGM to play!
Can I get a link to the very first song (Hummin' to myself) separately? (either in a youtube video or better yet, a download link for the mp3) This particular version I've been looking for but I can't find it anywhere else other than this particular video. And I'd also love to know the artist.
It reminds me of old Bugs Bunny and other cartoons. They were still popular in the late eighties when I was a kid, and this type of music featured prominently.
Nice!! I was looking for music, for a game of Arkham Horror. Lets just say this is perfect. Ill try to make a playlist with those song and some more darker music for ambiance. Thank you!
I don't know who this Cthulhu fella is, but he has a pretty good taste in music!
I kid, I faintly know that he is some kind of monster?
***** My friend cthulu is a monster a myth created by a great writter HP Lovecraft the author of the book 'at the mountains of madness' and other fantastic books.
So I see. Lovecraft has the same facial expression in every single photograph taken of him, he also exhibited symptoms of Schizophrenia, do you suppose he really believed what he wrote?
***** it would have been sad if he didn't believe in it
How do you figure that? If I believed any of that I'd die of heebie jeebies
For a kid growing up in the 2000s with the original Tom and Jerry series and now a Lovecraft fan, 20s Jazz really is something special
It took me a while to make that connection back to my memories of Tom and Jerry. It's been so long
Always something chilling about coming home to an empty house with old jazz playing somewhere in the background.... I love it
How often does that happen to you?
@@oxymoron02 you arent frequently in a large empty home with an old record player playing jazz
It's a nice idea. I live alone I should put a timer of some sort to start playing old jazz shortly before I am supposed to come. Gotta find a program on my pc to do it
It’s probably because the ghosts were old when they died and some old music just starts playing out of no where it’s creepy
every stage of bioshock
Love it! But it's mostly 1930's. Here are the titles and some of the artists:
Hummin' to Myself - (written in 1932)
My Sin - (written in 1929)
By a Waterfall - (1933 from the film "Footlight Parade")
I'll Always Be in Love With You - sung by Belle Baker 1929
Love Me Tonight - sung by Annette Hanshaw 1932 (love her!)
Thanks for turning folks on to this amazing stuff!
Came here for school project on the 20's. Found "Cthulhu Ambience Music". Not even mad.
Not even slightly insane?
oh, you will be..,,

I've been stuck in Innsmouth for a while, its peaceful ambience has kept me enraptured. I think i have found my self in a new religion as well.

I'm only a few eons old but I love stone age music!! Nothing like the sound of two rocks banging against each other!
I see you were born in the wrong generation
Forgive me lord, for i have fallen for an e-girl

Ha. That new stuff is garbage. Don't talk to me until you listen to pre-historic acid puddles fizziling.
In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits Jazzing!
im 2 years old and i love the 1920s music, at the very latest, im more into 1800's stuff
Wow you spell good for a 2 yr old!

I’m still fertilising my other half, and I’m more into classical 18th century music

This was one of the first ambiance’s I got into on UA-cam. What a glorious nostalgia trip.
Great to hear it! :D
I am 21, it's 2013. It's Saturday midday, sunny. Humming to myself...
I'm never tired of this playlist. Love every song!
Thanks Emmy Malone - don't forget to check out the other jazz playlists on my channel. :)
You are my favorite. I was looking for ambient jazz for my Call of Cthulhu game.
Ducktapeperson Check out the ambient mix playlist with SFX included - perfect for RPGing.
Also great for running a Bioshock Infinite homebrew :D
Make sure you check out the other playlists then. :)
Ah, I was thinking about the first game while I was listening!
The music also reminds me of Bioshock ambient music and I love it. I wish this kind of music never faded away
I was just thinking that myself!
If we don't bring Jazz back in 2020, I will be very disappointed.
fuck knows it will be a huge improvement to what we have now
YES!
Natalia they have swingwave now
it's on the way. check "Postmodern Jukebox". ;)
Actually, Smooth Jazz is highly popular right now.
I am oddly fond to 20's Jazz, its just great
This... is actually rather interesting. Most people think of ambient music as background music, but few actually remember the music that would be playing at that particular period of time. Great selection, reminds me of the swingy tune called Smile at Me they made for the Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth game.

Definitely playing this in my next call of cthulhu game
I remember those old Bugs/Tom and Jerry cartoons - back when you still had real ultra violence in cartoons. Now you only get it in Itchy and Scratchy.
Some of this stuff crushes my heart.
This really helps when you're creating a homebrew Campaign.
most gangster fuckin tracks i ever herd. im thugggin to this as we speak throwin sets and bangn jhhhhhhhhhhhhhhu hurd
damn dawg
They were real gangster back then, "see!"
True, but what this soundtrack is truly about (the Cthulhu Mythos) is something far, far more nefarious and dangerous than gangs and mobs.
This is the trap music from 1920's
Howard Phillips Lovecraft Cthulhu played jazz so beautifully.
So beautifully I went insa-- IÄ! IÄ! PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN! Where was I? Yes -- at how I went insane -- but I'm not insane -- yes I am -- I see it coming -- Yog-Sothoth save me -- the three-lobed burning eye --
Great music, it reminds me of the old days when i was a young kid in the streets of Boston... the olde days ....
Thanks guys, I'm really happy with the responses these tracks have been getting and the number of hits is humbling. Cheers!
Two of my favorite things...Lovecraft and vintage music!!

These videos are great. Thanks for posting them. These songs are mostly from the early 30's with a few from the late 20's.
This is helping me with my writing. My book is set in the early 1920s. Feel as though I'm really in that era...great stuff :-)
You ever finish that book Paul?
same
A nice start to 2020.
Why do I feel nostalgia when I listen these song and look these picture ? I never lived in 1920
Listened to this on my way to play some CoC and this was just perfect for getting me in the mood. Now time to try and not day.
If someone were to ask me what my favorite music was, I would say classic rock because I've always said that. However, the older I get, the more I love this music.

Looked up 1920s jazz, this is what I was exactly looking for.

Gatsby Status lol
Hmm. Why does that sound so ... familiar?
Great selection of songs.
Love the video and the music, admittedly the first thing that comes to mind is noir/detective, not HP Lovecraft but it works for all situations. Fantastic!
This reminds me way too much of the ending of the shining, and that makes it way more terrifying
Just saw that movie you are right
This is more or less my audio background for my Cthulhu.
I just love to see my characters invest in bonds. As if they thought they could survive an Ancient One.
Papa Momotte "my Cthulhu" ????
DinamarcaBall_AIC_Omega Maybe he is talking about his Cthulhu RPG campaign
i wish they still made music like this
Thanks for putting all of this together.
You're most welcome, more jazz playlists on the way soon, hopefully.
Very soothing compilation
