The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind, is fear.
And the oldest and strongest fear, is fear of the unknown.
- H.P. Lovecraft
quessing this is your favorite Lovecraft quote?...it is a damn good one (i think it was fervently used in the intro to a movie i saw on Netflix) but idk if I'd say its my favorite. its a bit overused....like he actually has quite a few more really great intelligent quotes from real life as well as phenomenal quotes from passages of his actual work.
what's your favorite HP Lovecraft story? or top 3 of u can't pick just 1! ;) i know how hard that can be.

The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen.”

The fact that there are no ads in this makes me love you even more!
Jajajjaja x2
I saw two ads immediately wtf
Just got an ad at the very start of the video XD
There's ads There's
Silent Wolf I think they mean in the middle of the vid so it doesn’t interrupt the music
Every time I'm writing any kind of essay and I'm listening to your work my word usage becomes needlessly more mysterious and horrific
Just remember, verbosity doesn't equate to eloquence. Lovecraft himself criticized his own writing strongly because it lacked the concise precision he strove to achieve. Still, getting to throw around words like "cyclopean" is fun if you can find the proper context for doing so.
@Andrew Dominguez At times, I would say that you are certainly correct, as when he would state that things were vast or horrible beyond comprehension, or only partially describe something to allow the reader to fill in the blanks on their own. But then if he were to completely avoid painting his scenes with any descriptions, we would have nothing to go on.
Needfully. More mystery. More horror. Essays.
I'm actually writing an essay currently so I relate to this comment lol.
I support this.
I am legit walking around my house acting out horror scenarios with this music playing. It's the most fun I've had in a long time.
@@vlc-cosplayer Good that you did not leave your domain. Whether or not the phenomenon was of supernatural nature, it had a decent likelihood of being dangerous. I can name a great many characters I have read of that would use such a situation to lure out prey.
Does your boyfriend play along with you?

Real life silent hill?
This is simply awesome. No matter what mundane bullsh*t I'm currently doing - sorting laundry, washing dishes, picking my nose - this instantly makes me feel like a lonely, doomed protagonist in the opening scenes of a horror film, about to uncover the terrifying secrets of the universe.
Outstanding work.

The power of music 🎶
You know what’s really scary? Authors all get their inspiration from something.
Makes you wonder what Lovecraft saw one day to create the horrors of the unknown.
Black people. He was hella racist.
@@KhasAdun1990 Maybe he hated everyone equally?
@@Kissom-jn5qb read Lovecraft's letters. His racism and anti-semiticism is well accounted and went beyond casual bigotry.
@@Kissom-jn5qb No he was very racist
he got his ideas from his nightmares
Try watching the original version of "Nosferatu" with this as the soundtrack. It's very creepy and vastly superior to the original soundtrack score. It also seems to sync up perfectly, no matter what part of the film or audio track you're experiencing.
Hmmmm... good to know
I'll try that!
fucking gnarly!!! lol nice of u to share that, props for the creative idea of trying that out. I'm definitely gonna try that asap.
i use to have a copy on VHS!!!! but alas... an unforunate event percipitated by a mongoloid ne'erdowell landlord of a foolish greedy rotten and mean disposition forced be to become a minimalist by seperating me from a vast portion of my belongings causing me to leave the property with far less then we entered it with! including several of my most valuable belongings & collections including one of my favorite collections of HPL's stories with a rather sick rare cover I've had since i was a teenager amoung my entire library, (of books & films) including an entire dvd shelf & box containing all my VHS collections & player with that very movie...Nosferatu!!! so sad it almost causes me to weep when i think about it before becoming rageful & swearing revenge against the fiend & curses on his self & family!
i'm at the half of the movie and damn it's crazy how it just syncs up perfectly in so many moments. Purely fascinating, thank you for sharing that!
Chanllage accepted
I'm working on my first horror/suspense short story, and I listen to this to channel my inner Lovecraft. Amazing work.
Don't you think channeling your inner Lovecraft might end in helpless madness?
Hope it's going well for you!
Well, a year has passed, how is your story and work in general?
@@cvintcertorius4646 Thanks for asking! To be honest, I haven't worked on that story in quite some time, but I have another non-horror short story that I really believe in, and when I have time, I mean to finish it, get it edited, and publish it.
@@johncliffordblack929 Good luck with it
Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
god i loved that game!!! so much i can't even handel it!! wish i could play it on my pc not on my ps4
yes
Kos... some say Kosm...

The knocking at 51:30 actually sent shivers down my spine. Well done, bravo! 🎉
You are the John Williams of dark music. This is so damn good it's astonishing.
I wouldn't go that far, but that you very much! :-) He's the greatest living composer in my opinion.
@@CthulhuMythosMusic certanly a great composer, but philip glass takes the crown in my opinion

I hope their is a director make a movie : Re animator
Imagine a director make a movie :
The thing
This really transfers the feeling of a Lovecraft story
How things are built up at a medium pace while still leaving you with that feeling of inmersion and suspense and then it strikes with trumpets and abismal flutes while the desesperation runs through your senses and then calms down leaving you with a empty feeling
I'm writting my own Scifi Cosmic Horror Novel
And i can't count the amount of times that the music fit so smoothly in the feeling of what i was writting
It really helped me a lot
I even planned on adding images of poor drawings of the creatures or the worlds that the protagonist has to face to give more inmersion in the story
Amazing job
This goes to my playlist of music for writting
Listening to this while reading the Cthulhu Cycle is legit one of the most atmospheric experiences you can have.
That's now going on the ol' to do list
I am reading through various Lovecraft stories for the very first time and this fantastic musical amalgamation has been my constant partner in these travelling lectures. I thank you for sharing this creation with the world at large.
Lovecraft is one of my favorite writers and I am astonished by how you managed to transcribe the eerie atmosphere of his books in your music.
Great job! If there ever be movie adaptation of some novel, they should really consider your music as OST.
You know the Prometheus movie? It was at first planned as an Mountains of Madness adaption
Agreed!
It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.
14:43 - 18:45 this made me extremely sad, I can't stop crying, feels like there's no hope, everyone you love die, and was your fault. Thank you is amazing all this music
please sad have a look on UA-cam at SATANISTS hearing pink floyd thanks
No offense, but you're a psycho if you think this is sad...
Most Underrated Comment
This should be pinned. Everytime I play this it's a ritual to find this comment
I've only recently tried reading with background music, and this really does make Lovecraft and Derleth's works pop out of the book, so to speak!
I love reading (and writing) to background music. It's awesome when it chances to work perfectly for a scene.
Playing this on Christmas Day
I'm a day late then
Imagine hearing this at the ancient pagan high festivals !!
Imagine a lovecraftian Santa
@@XelionGraves I cannot imagine a Lovecraftian " Santa Claus." He could be, to my mind called, say,
1. " Yog Santhoth "
2. " Claws Cthulu "
3. " Shubta Niggurathua
and he certainly wouldn't end his evening flying back to the North Pole with a belly full of snacks left for him by hopeful, expectant children. No...
the aftermath would be the discovery, many days later, of a torn, partially eaten corpse, covered in seaweed and suction cup-like bruising. The demolished remains of a sled would be found near the base of a mountain. The area would be devoid of any homo sapiens and no one would have any answers, nor any gifts...only a single madman wandering the back alleys of Providence, muttering over and over to himself---"...ancient, nameless...why, Jesus, why...."
Awesome haha.
I've slept to dungeon synth and this came in via youtube autoplay. I have such a creepy dream, my whole home was haunted. I had cursed saint images on my walls like they were from altered universe. I was doing some riddles and on the shelfs were bibles that are made out of sponge or baloons. In my bedroom there was an old woman with a wine smiling to me. When i realised that i am in a dream i spiked the bibles with some scissors and then i heard my dad's voice calling me then I woke up and this music was playing from my speakers at quite high volume. 10/10 creepy adventure can recommend
Wow that is very creepy
Sounds fun, lets go even deeper into madness and chaos for Infinite and Eternal Fun ::::)))))
Love the melody at 17:21.
Do you know the name? I love it and i can't find anywhere
Seriously your two full length pieces are fantastic. I use them for table top gaming and to pass time at work.
Thank you - delighted you use them and find they fit well! Happy gaming!
I can hear it now... Creeping up the stairs to my room.
I must write. I am compelled to get these words down on paper in the hope that someone will read it and take it as a warning that could save their life and their soul.
The door handle is turning. It is swinging open right now. It is the fiend. I can hear the wet, slithering sound as it makes its foul, unearthly way across the floor to me.
I must write, until the moment my pen is pulled from my h
oh no! are you still there?
nigga got his wig split
Nice 👍
Its been a year, did you make it out of there alive?
You were a good meal
Playing this while reading Junji Ito. The experience is utterly enhanced.
Love this Lovecraft's dark mood !! reading clive barker's Waveworld with it !! it fits perfectly
Anyone wanna just play this like theme music in a room sitting in the dark drinking and disassociating over horror or that just me?
If this isn't a mood then I don't know what is. XD
Sounds like a good time to me 😃
only if i can have some weed in the room with me 🤷🏻♂️
Under the influence of a little Delta 9 😮
31:15, start of my favorite part. That piano is so haunting.
Cheers from Brazil... A precious gift this one, thanks a lot...
Enjoy! Welcome to the channel.
@@CthulhuMythosMusic Wonderful!
RIP Howard and Lovecraft. may the world never forget your Weird Tales
Reading The Shining while listening to this with noise cancelling headphones. Can't be more immersed.
"So, dear investigators, you are all in the ship that will take you to the small village of Brynn Celli Ddu..."
And thus, their adventure trough madness and cosmic horror started...
I'm smoking a cigarette, looking at the horizon. Thinking about what kind of trouble I'll be in soon.
@@thiagoofalcao Suddenly you hear a big explosion from the bottom of the ship.
@@thiagoofalcao "Think I'll join you." I say inhaling a deep breath and also staring out.
@@danielb.7224 what? What kind of explosion? Like the boat has hit/been hit by something? Or something actually detonating? How big is the boat?
"Darn! What the hell was that?" @Jacob, come on. Let's go see what the heck is happening here...
Perfect to play Darkest Dungeons
“Those who says the name of my cat shall invoke the dark ones upon them” - H.P Lovecraft
Bhahahaha good thing I'm not American to be offended by this
oh dear...dark ones hehehe
So THAT'S what he meant...
Wait amin..he named his cat...? Ohh crap...
are they big ??
really like this music. it makes me want to look over my shoulder to make sure no one (or no thing) is creeping up behind me!
Love listening to this while reading Lovecraft, Sandman comics and some Alan Moore works
Great choices 👍
02:48 is pure gold music
Your music makes HPL audio books zap the imagination with even more intrigue and looming horror..
Especially spooky and mysterious D&D campaign on all hollows Eve!!! I'm excited, I may even drag my friends out the to the graveyard down the street to play.
Before listening to this: Normie, sane, pretty alright.
After listening to this: Still alright but I'm now bleeding from the eyes mumbling about Cthulu in my sleep.
Yes
Sounds like you've improved lol.
Listening and have my Peterson Dracula pipe with Miskatonic Mixture with some Irish whiskey on this dark rainy night in Tennessee.
Graham old friend... Would love to use this for this year's Lovecraft Festival of Second Life... for our Miskatonic University area of our "Path of Madness" adventure!
Sure - sounds great!
Perfect Ambient music for Sherlock Holmes : Consulting Detective
Wish I'd known about this back in my old gaming days. This music would have certainly made for great background music for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, as well as some of my misadventures with White Wolf Vampires.
Wonderfully dark, evocative, and richly layered. I feel like one of Lovecraft's hapless protagonists listening to your work, discovering the horrible truth and descending into madness.
Definitely gonna use this stuff for D&D.
I've been using this for my Eldritch Horror campaign with friends. Great assortment, Thank you.
I really appreciate the absence of ads.
Like, REALLY appreciate it.
I'm currently strolling around in the graveyard of a gothic church at 2am with a camera and tripod, looking for the right composition, hoping the weather forecast is right about mist forming.
Having this playing on earbuds helps the workflow.
The last "ten hours of" video I tried suddenly blasted me with an annoyingly loud advert, which gave me a bigger jump scare than anything among these cold and silent tombstones.
I made sure to remove ads mid-roll during the videos as it only ruins enjoyment.
I've been listening to this while playing minecraft, it really changes how you feel.
"for Role-Playing and Gaming"
Also me listening to this while working: :l
Also my essai after 15min: creepy and mysterious words from the unknow digging the most ancestral fear of them all
Graham Plowman, you're awesome. This is my favorite ambient Horror music for my gaming sessions, period. Honestly, not much else comes close. I love that you don't just capture the "horror" feel of Lovecraft, but also the wonder. It feels like Lovecraft through and through.
I am writing like a mad man now that I've found your wonderful tracks of inspiration! Much thanks.
My Drama teacher Miss Knights plays this in our lessons at school. Always gives me the chills lol😂😂
Miss Knights is cool!
@@GoatOfTheWoods thx she is soo nice
Excellent!
You captured the atmosphere of Lovecraft's tales very well.
This is better than most of the big motion picture soundtracks from the last decade or so.
I paused this music 'cause I was going out, and as I turned my back it started playing again on its own. I am not kidding.
Ooo spooky.
are you still alive, after that event? or has the horrors taken you? XP
think he died or dissappeared
@@gubbikiller such a shame. UnU
@@wolfyboy as long as it closed the warp rift afterwards, then i will be satisfied
Can't wait to listen to this while playing The Everrain!!!
Listening while playing D&D horror adventure, thank you for the atmosphere, Graham!
Ravenloft was a classic, back in the 80s.
Love it!!, eerie, dynamic, ominous, epic, mysterious, immersive. I was playing the AH LCG, lived every moment of the adventure.
This music helps me get rid of anxiety and it's not a joke.
Dark, sinister and brooding cosmic horror music...it's perfect...tks for your sharing your talent!
This is fantastic, I'll definitely be using this at my game table
I remember buying a very early collection of some of your music many years ago now, and I recall discussing with you the elements of Kilar I thought I heard in the Legrasse piece. I'm glad to see you're still creating excellent work. Cheers.
This is perfect to write my horror short stories to. Very nice indeed Graham Plowman. Very well done.
How the hell do you not have more subs, you deserve them
I say this to myself each day...ah well!
@@CthulhuMythosMusicjust subscribed! Oh I won’t regret it! Everything you’ve shared so far is just 🔥
Oh, this is absolutely awesome. I love all your Lovecraft inspired stuff, great job!
Thank you for your support!
and again fantastic. Fit's perfectly and will intensify the next round of my lovecraft inspired pen and paper game.
23:50 , This flute moment is extremely dark, and perfect! amazing work....
Just what I needed for my next dnd game. Thanks
Appreciate all the work you have done. Awesome
Thank you!
THIS IS JUST SUPERB MUSIC. SO ATMOSPHERIC AND EVOCATIVE OF THE GREAT H.P'S STORIES. I WILL BE LISTENING TO THIS A LOT IN FUTURE.THANKS GRAHAM FOR THIS WONDERFUL AUDITORY EXPERIENCE.
Listening to this to write a short 3 chapter story about a parasite in a person's head that lets him see without eyes, but also drives him more insane as the story goes on. Perfect for writing.
This turned up in my "Recommended for you" in the sidebar. I dunno where UA-cam got the idea I would, and TBH I don't - but it's definitely doing its job: I'm really creeped out. Well done on that anyway.
Okay... So I'm writing a short horror story about someone trying to get into someone else house. I was listening to this for some inspiration. When the sound of the door opening happened at around 52:00 I nearly jumped out of my skin.
How does the story ends
Can you Upload the Story pls 😁
I just picked up the complete run of WEIRD TALES MAGAZINE in Digital format on 6 DVDs , cover to cover. Now I have music to fill in the atmosphere as I read the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Henry S. Whitehead, Robert Bloch, Clark Ashton Smith, Seabury Quinn, C.L. Moore, Manley Wade Wellman, etc. Wonderfully atmospheric music. Very well done. I will keep watch for more great music from you.
Thanks for sharing this! I immediately bought your "Horror of H.P. " album on iTunes!
This is so relaxing, I love it.
"I need some music for this HP Lovecraft recording I'm about to do"
>finds this
Thanks, internet!
Thank you for adding it to Spotify. I have spent dozens of hours curating my playlists for D&D on there are look forward to doing more for Call of Cthulhu
i'm reading all lovecraft's books listening this, awesome work dude, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic!!!!! 😃
Ruin has come to our family
I really like this. It's very restful and not monotonous.Thank you!
Beautiful and exellent work!
I'm using this as background music while I play The Sinking City.
Sh*t, that "Miskatonic Univerity" theme gets me everytime!
Thanks for making this track. It was practically my soundtrack to long nights in the library diving deep into obscure research notes and journals for my grad thesis paper!
Excellent work! I love it! Please keep it up, it's streets ahead of the opposition! This really expresses Hp.lovecrafts work!
This a great mix! I'm always scouring UA-cam for scary/creepy music and its actually pretty hard to find.
God damm I'm in my room with the lights on studying and I still get goosebumps every 15 seconds
I have this bookmarked now. I also added your music on my to-buy-list. this is perfect. thank you for the madness
Great work between Dark Ambient, Dungeon Synth and Original Soundtrack!!!!!
H.P. would be proud

I'm reading the same story! The music is perfect since it recalls the feelings of a dream.
