I've always likened it to the string section equivilant of a Bagpipe. you have drone strings that are eqiv to the drone pipes, the melody strings+keys are equiv to the chanter, the wheel+crank provide the sustaining in the same way the bag does for Bagpipes.
@@maeve615 Yes, it really seems like it! I did a video about how bagpipes are used in the How To Train Your Dragon movies, and I just found out I misidentified one sound bite; it's a hurdy-gurdy and electric guitar (of all things to mix) used there instead.
There is in fact two instruments here. If you can't listen, read! The bagpipes/flute (and/or harmonica, accordion) you hear is the organ part (all wind instrument). The violin (and/or cello), which is the hurdy-gurdy (both bowed string).
@Armontek here in the UK the higher you are in the tax bracket the less of a percentage they take. Sure they pay more but they're paying a lower percentage than someone on minimum wage
@@darkelemental can you cite your source? Because as I see tax rate goes up with each bracket www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates Google suggests that prior to 2013 "Additional rate" used to be 50%, but current 45% is still higher than previous bracket.
What makes me happy is that there are no chattering/vibrating parts other than the strings themselves. Loose components vibrating against the frame or other components is what kills the sound of any stringed instrument.

This song was so good that I ended up making an entire fantasy world and lore in a single Google Doc based off the vibes I got from it. Thank you, Andrey.
We played this at my mothers funeral. She shared this wonderful piece of music with me months before she passed. Thank you for your beautiful performance.
Jim Henson storyteller series had a story in it that describes a bag pipe as an instrument that was both happy and sad. It's honestly Stuck with me whenever I hear bagpipes.
It sounds like those movie scenes when you are watching a TV movie at night and that really good scene comes into the movie when it's either a man and a woman talking in the woods, or people hanging out at the bar but their is something dark going on.
Not a single other song on a gurdy has managed to be better than this for me. It feels like its written by someone who fully understands the instrument and is using its constant rotation drone to its full advantage. so many songs treat it as a bow with a drone flourish.
This....is the musical equivalent of scratching the itch on your back that you just can't reach. The feeling of warm rain on your skin. The release of tension and freedom from pain. I do not have the words to describe how grateful I am to have found this video. Thank you, and never stop playing.
Strange isn't it.. I wonder if there's a study that delves into the behaviour behind why we're so drawn and soothed by music like this.. why does it evoke such a strong calling to Medieval era. Is it an intergenerational thing? interesting that today we can listen to a piece of music and associate that with a particular epoch and country Music truly fascinates me
Man that's fallacy 101.. a newborn has no concept of anything, let alone the definition of music, that's just a poor argument. While movies and games have influenced us to identify things that pertain to medieval culture, it's evident, such as in the comments, that just by listening to a piece we feel something.. that might be different for each individual, but my question on why stems from this behaviour My last sentence was worded poorly - You're right. History teaches us the origin of a style/piece of music and it's associated instrument. What I meant to say is, how much it fascinates me that a melody can create incredibly strong atmospheres and immersive behaviour, as if it is, to a degree, an inherent quality within us to feel this?
The tune actually is quite modern. Before Paris became a total dump there were ladies who played the hurdy-gurdy and sang tunes of sadness that only the French could relate to.

ao el piracy might of had a factor with it not being widely know given that it was used mostly by them and government not liking pirates in general at the time but I could totally be talking out of my ass here so idk
Expensive instrument + few musicians = Less manufacturing; less manufacturing = higher prices. This sequence is common with folk instruments like these.
Because, most people now, lack the intelligence or open mind to accept or appreciate good music. They would rather listen to pill popping teenagers rap about popping pills and tattooing your face.
@@txwisky I think you meant to say teenagers seducing underaged girls and singing about it while copy and pasting the same repetitive melody over and over again.
I bet this what they played when they sent young men to fight the crusades. But on a serious note I'm here from the Malayalam film Churuli which features this track.
until a few months ago I had no idea this instrument even existed, now I'm absolutely fascinated by this. not to mention the sounds this thing makes gives me chills.
There's something truly unique and special about this tune I can't quite place. It has this eerie, sombre mood to it that makes me picture myself walking through the wake of some tragedy. Something about the piece just expertly conveys a sense of disbelief, despair and remorse. I'm as in awe listening to it the 20th time as I was the 1st. Bravo.
Churuli/ചുരുളി 🔂 As a sphere of strange white light starts dilating in front of their eyes, the jeep starts to levitate in the middle of the silent jungle. One by one, all of them blink slowly and the two of the passengers change seats within a blink. Meanwhile the jeep slowly floats towards the sphere spiralling in the misty air of night.
Fascinating instrument. Not unlike an organ in tonal quality. Hard to believe all that noise was coming from one source. Thank you for putting this out there!
The "organ like" sound you heard, actually came from an accompanying organ. But nonetheless you are very right about the Gurdy being fascinating. I'd really like to get one myself.
As the rain started to fall, it was light and cold. The clouds, dark, and swirling, the air was crisp, and moist. As she stepped towards the castle doors, the guards would not open them for her, not anymore. She pressed her hands against the cold splintered wood, her frail glass frame pushing them open. As the doors widened, a crowd of a thousand strong peered down upon her, no longer yelling or shouting, but in silence. All of they're glaring eyes, judging her like daggers. She stepped out of the castle, looking back to what was her home, knowing she will never see it again. All those memories of froliking through the maze of corridors as a child, the warm springs in the garden, when the trees bore fruit, those days where far behind her. Her honor, diminished, her title, taken, now branded a traitor for something she didn't do, she walked slowly, with two guards trailing behind her. One of which was holding a rope that binded her wrists together behind her back. As the corse and rough rope rubbed across her skin she began to cry, but quickly she steaded herself, she knew these people, once hers, would not pity her. Her emotions meant nothing. Continuing the walk through the broken cobbled streets barefoot, the crowed lined down each side of the street continued to stare in silence. That's what was really killing her, there was no yelling, no chanting, no wispers or murmers, just silence. As she reached the center of this now gloomy city, she saw a ring of people formed around her, a wooden platform, with a pole was at the center of it. She new she would die today, but she didn't know how. Hanging? Decapitation? Maybe locked in a stock for weeks until she starved? Crucification perhaps? No, what was planned today was far worse then anything she had thought of. Pushed towards it, she stepped on to the platform, her feet leaving the cold stone for the wet wood, as she was tied to the pole her emotions spilled out. Weeping and moaning she sank to her knees still tied up, begging the people around and the guards to let her free, "It wasn't me!" She shouted, though her words fell on deaf ears, for they did not come to hear her beg. As she looked straight ahead she saw a man standing at the forefront of the crowed, his lips moved but she didn't hear what he said. He slowly turned around. "Wait!" She screamed, "What did you say? What did he say?" As he vanished into the crowd the rain continued it's steady fall, five men in armor had began to surround her with straw, branches, and dead leaves. She now knew what they where going to do, it was going to hurt, it won't be quick, she will suffer. She closed her eyes as a stream of tears flowed down each cheek, she wondered what the people where thinking. Eyes still shut she now felt a warmth, no, now a burning heat, she could feel something fall into the pile surrounding her, as she opened her eyes, she saw a torch starting everything on fire. The blaze quickly spread, now circled by the hellish flames she screamed in agony. "Please please! Let me live please! I'll do anything I-" and she stopped! As she began choking on her words the smoke filling her lungs. The flames now swallowing her. Her skin blistered and split, her hair set a blaze, her eyes dried up, the blood boiling in her. As she let out a horrific screach she soon stopped, her throat was now burnt. After some time had passed some people walked away, others stayed as her body became charred, the smell of burning flesh filled the city square and the nostrils of the people. She ceised to move, her face no longer recognizable. All through the night she continued to burn. The next morning the people gathered around once more, a pile of ash and ember was in place of where the young woman was. The only thing left of her where a few burnt, blackened bones, each one cracked from the imense heat. What these people never knew, was that girl they had sentenced to death, truly was, innocent...
Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'. First class, yo this is bad Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmmmmm this might be alright. But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat? I don't think so I'll see when I get there I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air Well, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air' I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

The organ is providing the harmony. The hurdy-gurdy is playing the melody line and supplying the drone.

@@netprofm You still can... Just teach algolirthm what you like, it takes some time. Then somewhere among teenage youtubers and shameless product locations you'll get what you want! :D
@@netprofm Fuck that, I can't just look this stuff up. How would I know? I'm glad UA-cam is finally giving the good stuff the credit that it's due.

I love how clunky it is! You can hear the clacks of the... What are they called, keys?
It's like having ASMR mixed in with the music.
@@poppedweasel No, they are in fact called Keys.
@@poppedweasel Sorry, accidentally clicked the wrong comment.
The organ accompaniment really improves this music.
I've never seen (Or heard) an instrument like this... and I've been a drummer in a band for years - This is so cool! Thanks for posting... What a great sound, too!
Might I suggest that it never existed before

Dude listen to the intro of the Black Sails tv show to hear how awesome it can sound
drummer in a band for years, the peak of musical knowledge

@@jefferygoldmann2643 Ten points to Gryffindoor!
I thought that sounds like the Beatles, but couldn't think of which song
I feel like i've just stumbled into some ancient sorcerers den and an old wizened Wizard is recounting the story of how long ago an ancient wizard destroyed this sacred place in an attempt to tether the gods and use their power for himself
Удивительный инструмент! Редкий. Волшебные звуки!
Это старинная колёсная лира.
I've been wanting my own Hurdy Gurdy for decades, watching many videos of it over the last few years... this is the most beautiful piece I have heard thus far!
I feel like the byzantines are gonna resurrect and hunt me down
What do you mean? I've seen the byzantine mentioned in other videos as well. This is a french instrument, i don't understand...
@@malahamavet They (Byzantines) served Templars, who hunt all those who oppose them.
@@longanddeadly but why i see this kind of comments on hurdy gurdy videos?
@@malahamavet Because the music is similar to what is one's expectation of a certain time period, where what I alluded to earlier takes place in a much more frequent manner.
@@longanddeadly byzantine music sounds pretty much different from medival euopean music though.
The next Age of Empires 2 expansion music sounds great
Dan Peal fuck yeah !
I thought this was already in it
haahaha fuk yeah

Huge fan of this piece ! 💜🤎
Love all the way from Kerala, India 😇
Фантастическое звучание! Реально словно орган вместе с квартетом струнных играет!
So haunting, and so beautiful. I absolutely love it!!
When thy livestock be plundered by Norsemen :'(
Churulii ❤️
Beautiful instrument filled with vibrations and harmonics!.... it’s curious how this sad music connects me to compassion, love, and impermanence of everything.... Thank you very much, sir.
It's tuning in the minor scale is awakening to the soul. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Such a beautiful haunting mystic sound, your talent Sir is amazing.
Боже,как это красиво!!!браво!!!
I'll never understand why this instrument never caught on and became more mainstream
ao el piracy might of had a factor with it not being widely know given that it was used mostly by them and government not liking pirates in general at the time but I could totally be talking out of my ass here so idk
Expensive instrument + few musicians = Less manufacturing; less manufacturing = higher prices. This sequence is common with folk instruments like these.
Because, most people now, lack the intelligence or open mind to accept or appreciate good music. They would rather listen to pill popping teenagers rap about popping pills and tattooing your face.
@@txwisky I think you meant to say teenagers seducing underaged girls and singing about it while copy and pasting the same repetitive melody over and over again.
90 moving parts inside, a guitar has 0
This is so excellent! What multiple RANGE this instrument has! Performed with skill and insight.
Beautiful! Thank You.
I need a 10 hour version of this.
Боже это самая лучшая музыка, которуя я когда либо слышал, Андрей, спасибо вам за вашу музыку, я если честно заслушался.
good to see you back jammin'. much love and big ups.
This will be my theme song when the 2020 plague starts.
:o
Excuse me what the fuck?
what the fuckkkkkkkk
B R U H
You watched this again in 2020, didn't you...
I bet this what they played when they sent young men to fight the crusades. But on a serious note I'm here from the Malayalam film Churuli which features this track.
This reflects the sadness of a hardship that we shall never encounter.
You never know
@@emanijudah6985 that's the spirit!
Never say never though.
Thank your government
Look where this world is headed...
There needs to be a 10 hour version of this.
until a few months ago I had no idea this instrument even existed, now I'm absolutely fascinated by this. not to mention the sounds this thing makes gives me chills.
волшебство звучания,какова игра,ммм это радость для души она так глубоко пробирается...
There's something truly unique and special about this tune I can't quite place. It has this eerie, sombre mood to it that makes me picture myself walking through the wake of some tragedy. Something about the piece just expertly conveys a sense of disbelief, despair and remorse. I'm as in awe listening to it the 20th time as I was the 1st. Bravo.
Minor key?
This is so beautiful…
I don’t have words…
I've never been so happy to feel so melancholy.

As a sphere of strange white light starts dilating in front of their eyes, the jeep starts to levitate in the middle of the silent jungle. One by one, all of them blink slowly and the two of the passengers change seats within a blink. Meanwhile the jeep slowly floats towards the sphere spiralling in the misty air of night.

Wonderful piece and playing! Thanks for uploading!
Greetings from U.S.
what piece is this?
Michael Proietti says it In title I think it's original
who's us? i want names
This fills my soul with pure emotion and feeling. The heart is full.
Landed here after the magical trip from churuli😇
Fascinating instrument. Not unlike an organ in tonal quality. Hard to believe all that noise was coming from one source. Thank you for putting this out there!
The "organ like" sound you heard, actually came from an accompanying organ. But nonetheless you are very right about the Gurdy being fascinating. I'd really like to get one myself.
Sleep listening to that :
"Hey you finally awake"
Lavora molto sul chakra del cuore. Grazie
churuli!
A piece of Medieval Art ❤️
Impressive and unique
Thank you, Maestro Vinogradov.
I had a visceral reaction to just the opening notes, and the rest is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.
Same here. We're old souls, you and I.
The tone on this instrument is fantastic.
As the rain started to fall, it was light and cold. The clouds, dark, and swirling, the air was crisp, and moist. As she stepped towards the castle doors, the guards would not open them for her, not anymore. She pressed her hands against the cold splintered wood, her frail glass frame pushing them open.
As the doors widened, a crowd of a thousand strong peered down upon her, no longer yelling or shouting, but in silence. All of they're glaring eyes, judging her like daggers. She stepped out of the castle, looking back to what was her home, knowing she will never see it again. All those memories of froliking through the maze of corridors as a child, the warm springs in the garden, when the trees bore fruit, those days where far behind her. Her honor, diminished, her title, taken, now branded a traitor for something she didn't do, she walked slowly, with two guards trailing behind her. One of which was holding a rope that binded her wrists together behind her back.
As the corse and rough rope rubbed across her skin she began to cry, but quickly she steaded herself, she knew these people, once hers, would not pity her. Her emotions meant nothing. Continuing the walk through the broken cobbled streets barefoot, the crowed lined down each side of the street continued to stare in silence. That's what was really killing her, there was no yelling, no chanting, no wispers or murmers, just silence. As she reached the center of this now gloomy city, she saw a ring of people formed around her, a wooden platform, with a pole was at the center of it. She new she would die today, but she didn't know how. Hanging? Decapitation? Maybe locked in a stock for weeks until she starved? Crucification perhaps? No, what was planned today was far worse then anything she had thought of.
Pushed towards it, she stepped on to the platform, her feet leaving the cold stone for the wet wood, as she was tied to the pole her emotions spilled out. Weeping and moaning she sank to her knees still tied up, begging the people around and the guards to let her free,
"It wasn't me!" She shouted, though her words fell on deaf ears, for they did not come to hear her beg. As she looked straight ahead she saw a man standing at the forefront of the crowed, his lips moved but she didn't hear what he said. He slowly turned around.
"Wait!" She screamed, "What did you say? What did he say?" As he vanished into the crowd the rain continued it's steady fall, five men in armor had began to surround her with straw, branches, and dead leaves. She now knew what they where going to do, it was going to hurt, it won't be quick, she will suffer.
She closed her eyes as a stream of tears flowed down each cheek, she wondered what the people where thinking. Eyes still shut she now felt a warmth, no, now a burning heat, she could feel something fall into the pile surrounding her, as she opened her eyes, she saw a torch starting everything on fire.
The blaze quickly spread, now circled by the hellish flames she screamed in agony.
"Please please! Let me live please! I'll do anything I-" and she stopped! As she began choking on her words the smoke filling her lungs. The flames now swallowing her. Her skin blistered and split, her hair set a blaze, her eyes dried up, the blood boiling in her. As she let out a horrific screach she soon stopped, her throat was now burnt.
After some time had passed some people walked away, others stayed as her body became charred, the smell of burning flesh filled the city square and the nostrils of the people. She ceised to move, her face no longer recognizable. All through the night she continued to burn.
The next morning the people gathered around once more, a pile of ash and ember was in place of where the young woman was. The only thing left of her where a few burnt, blackened bones, each one cracked from the imense heat.
What these people never knew, was that girl they had sentenced to death, truly was, innocent...
Is this original?
How else the air gonna be when it's raining, James Joyce?
@@corenzz Yeah, just came into my head while listening.
+The Marine708 Wow... that’s really amazing. I wish I had that ability 😆
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
Красиво 👍👍👍💯🎶👏👏
I want one of these! It can sit next to the guitar that I have barely touched over the last decade.
Such a mesmerising tune! Been listening on repeat. Cheers from Australia!

Yaa 😭
