Huge thanks to Michael Ghelfi for letting me use his nature ambience! Please check out his channel, he's the ultimate master of ambience:

This is not a song, this is a recording of me playing live for 1 hour, improvising on the spot. So if you hear little mistakes or pauses etc., that's because I had zero plan of what I will play and everything you hear is invented in the second that I play the note.^^
I do this often, but I never show it because I usually do it just to gather new ideas for future music but I thought I might as well let you hear one of those sessions.^^ I will probably use bits and pieces of melodies in here for songs in the future, oh and I also played some of my old melodies from my most known songs, just as a little Easter Egg for those of you who know my music really well, I thought it would be fun.^^
I'm super anxious to play live, so this is probably the closest to a live performance we'll ever get out of me. xD But I might do videos like this again sometime if you enjoy it, just let me know.

All music composed and arranged by Adrian von Ziegler.

The artwork was created by my amazing wife Aelathên.

I just adopted a cat and she's been hiding under the bed because she's so scared and anxious, so I looked at her adoption papers to see if there's anything I can do to help her transition into her new home. It said she likes harp music and nature sounds, so I played this and she immediately perked up and is now out and about in her new home. Thank you so much for this! It sounds lovely and helps calm my new cat down when she's scared 😊

I will definitely be playing this for my baby boy tonight. He has insomnia and your other songs always help him.

Dear Adrian I lost my best friend May 1st. He introduced me to your music. He was all things celtic. As I set and visit his resting place I play your music as we spent many hours over last 10 years visiting with your music in background. It is a comfort to me now. Your OTHERWORLD came out in May AJ passed May 1st. The art is so significant to me. I found a walking stick or staff the morning of his transition by my car at the park I walk every morning. It was 6ft long had an end that was cut and all branches had been cut. AJ nicknamed me Merlin because when I made him coffee it was such an ordeal. AJ was wheelchair bound since 90s. He was a real gamer an ex marine and only 50 when he got out of his wheelchair. I believe that staff showed up to let me know in the Otherworld he was walking. In the art work the figure reminds me of Him. He dressed in black his Right hand hung at his side always closed as he couldnt use it. This may sound like a bummer but you have no idea how much listening to your creations heals my heart. Peace and Thank You

I am Irish and this is really beautiful. Proud to be a Celt.

I just lost my 21 year old son. This music is helping me cope. Thank you.

[MichaelGhelfiStudios]

That's an honor to have my ambience used by you my friend! I'm looking forward for other collaborations.

[Hedwig-gjdi]

Immediately my eyes close and I forget This just falls on me so sweetly and just Adrian you're a genius.

[leenabheekhun]

I love you and your music so much!!! Thank you for doing what you do. You've saved me and so many others from depression and losing our minds in this depressing world. Thank you Adrian and no words can ever explain how much your music means to me. ❤❤❤❤

Been playing this a lot lately for my first baby, Finn, who has been in the hospital all 7 weeks of his life so far. It's very comforting and calming for us both, and perfect to have playing while I read to him from a book about the Irish hero, Finn McCool, after whom he's named. Been enjoying von Ziegler's music for several years, so happy to be sharing it with my son now and will continue to play more for him when he's home! Will be perfect in his dragon/forest/fairy tale/Tolkien-themed nursery.

honestly, knowing it was improvised and hearing the little pauses makes it so much better to me

The combination of the Celtic harp music with ambient nature sounds is so beautiful and relaxing.

This is phenomenal, I’ve started listening to this while I eat my meals throughout the day and I close my eyes, I have noticed I have not been in such a rush to finish my food but have started to take my time chewing each bite slowly and enjoying the meal 🌞

[RainySlumbers]

This is literally the only thing making me sleep these days. Good night everyone <3

Modern day genius seriously, like Beethoven, Bach, or like van gogh is to art. this young man is amazing. Even created his own language.

this took me to a place i’ve never been;

a place very green, lush. the chill of the morning air melting away as the sun starts to filter through the trees. every branch rustles in the wind, every bird chirps as they play.

she approaches, smile broad as the night sky, ready to run. she takes my hand and guides me through the trees that we were both familiar with; the trees of our home. sticks crack below us as we jump across small streams, landing on the balls of our feet and bouncing right off of them again. our laughter prompts the birds to sing louder and leaves to rustle more in attempt to be equal to us. she guides me to her garden, where we pick spring flowers until the sun beats on our shoulders.

she plucks a petunia and places it, as delicate as a feather, into my braided back hair.

i grin and grab across to pick a violet. i stroke her knitted back hair, searching for the perfect spot for the flower. her eyes are peeking up at me from underneath her eyelashes. i secure the flower into its spot and return my gaze to her.

she smiles and turns to the woods, becoming me to join her in the labyrinth that is our home.

Dear Adrian, today I must put to sleep my beloved soulmate- dog *Piwi*🐕. In his last days, he was very ill and we spent our afternoons often on the couch with your music. He always got relaxed, when he heard this harp-melody. Today, in his last hours, we played also this music for him, with candlelight. I'm shure - it was helping him, to find his way across the rainbowbridge 🌈 without fear. Now, I'm sitting here beside his body, his soul is gone, and your music is still playing. And.. I feel peace. Thank you Adrian, this harp-melodie will be for me - now and forever "Piwis-Theme" 🐕🌈💙

[BGMRelaxingJazz]

This music reminds me of every good moment I've ever had in my life.

[firdawsscisse]

Live recording, improvising, without plan...it comes down to bringing us a little closer to you. That's too great of a gift !

My grandma used to play music like this when I was a small kid and it was so relaxing.
