My name is Aiden, I am a music composer. I write quite a wide range of genres. I started my musical journey as a classical guitarist and performer, before my love of creative media brought me into the world of fantasy orchestral music creation. I have been a musician and played video games my whole life, combining the two to create the music I want to create and the stories I wish to tell.
I have released six albums, Most are based on ancient mythologies and concepts, I love exploring old mythologies and musical interpretations of these. I also try and incorporate unique instrumentation in my work, featuring multiple rare and ancient instruments I have built myself. (Empyrean, Astaria, Revelations, The Nine Realms) Outside of my modern orchestral work, I have also composed neo-classical piano works in collaboration with my friend Daniel A. Ward. (The bridge Between Worlds) and I have also written a indie/folk album with my good friend Marcus Warner.

Building a Medieval Harp (Psaltery, Kantele, Zither)
My latest woodworking instrument build, The Zither/Psaltery is one of the oldest known stringed instruments, with origins dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, over 5,000 years ago. It has been used in various forms throughout history across many cultures, including ancient Greece, Rome, and the Middle East.
The design of the psaltery has evolved over time and across countries. Early psalteries were simple, often trapezoidal or rectangular, with strings stretched across the body. In the Middle Ages, more elaborate forms emerged, sometimes with additional resonating bodies or more strings. This style is more modern in design. Thanks so much for watching the video!

Man this kicks ass, the olive wood is gorgeous and you got such a cool sound- well done, zither on my man 🤌🔥
zither me timbers, sounds cool!
Feels like your soul from an ancient scandinavian just rebuilt his old instrument. Your first jam felt like a hit from the past at some point.❤
This is such a good idea! My party and I use playlists like this all the time when we have sessions.
Same bro!
'Because my obsessions change', I learned that when yew is used for bows, it is split before shaping because the internal and external wood are good at either compression or stress and I think the bow should put some tension on the horse-hair. I think you've probably encouraged more people to have a go than the people who know exactly what they're doing :-). I learned a few days ago that violins have a saddle. It might be worth having a look before the next one.
How did this flop!?!
Minimalism old school. Very old school.
Amazing
fantastic work all round.
Nice music and also neat animations, they really underpin the somewhat melancholic feeling evoked by the compositions.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment, i really appreciate it
Just another day in mid-September I was thinking of you I was thinking of a place I remember and a song we'd journey to So can we leave it all tomorrow Can we do it all again Can we do the things we're dreaming about Cause the years are going quicker than they were back then. More mistakes than I'll ever admit But they faded when the sunlight hit On the lake out in Idaho Where the forest hears all I know I'm terrified of what I've become I'm forgetting all the things I've done I thought you said I would see you again Guess the words came easier then I know I belong back there And this road im travelling it goes no where You tell me im stuck in the past But the signs are telling me I'm going too fast I always knew it would be something I'd miss But I couldn't ever know that it would hurt me like this, so If you want to go for one last ride We can take this old car and leave the world behind California never looked so pretty We took the trip out of Oklahoma city Like we did many years ago Take the turning off the highway that could bring me home Count the stars in the summertime sky Watch the ferry boats getting so high and I hope you're wishing for the same things too And I hope that you could love me like I'm loving you so, Can we leave it all tomorrow? Can we do it all again Can we do the things we're dreaming about Cause the years are going quicker than they were back then. Can we leave it all tomorrow? Can we do it all again Can we do the things we're dreaming about Cause the years are going quicker than they were back then.
Really cool to see the amount of effort that went into this. Proud of you dude!
love it bro!
This is so good! Video is great, song is lush!
awesome, amazing to see it come out!
What an epic bop! Plus hell of a title. Really proud of you dude.
That was a joy to listen to. Triumphant and epic yet contemplative. Nice one :)
Man, the way the blast synced up to the music genuinely gave me chills
No beginning and no end.
I wasn't expecting to have an existential crisis before lunch, but here are. Video is awesome by the way!
This was fabulous, intense and captivating! Thanks for making me re think that the Universe is stranger than we can imagine.
@andresvalbuena1215 Thanks so much for the lovely comment. All the best!
This song is about someone wanting to pound the moon
That's the last time I tell you the concept behind my work
Great work, man. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this story
This is actually insane! The animation looks so good, hopefully this gets the recognition it deserves. This is my favourite track of the EP!
It’s called hymn number 6 so is hymn 1 older but never found or is it like star wars thy they started on 4 with the intention of making a prequel?
Hey, i believe the others where found largely damaged and incomplete, They might well have been older but i think they would have been written down on the clay tablets as a collection of hymns, i guess will never really know if we have older parts of melodies from no.1-5 or not maybe they did the star wars thing and started on 6, 3500 years before Lucas did, guess will never know.
nice!
Amazing!
This sounds so freaking good! Awesome performance
Can't wait for this, honestly! The animation looks so good!!
Really cool, looking forward to this !
Awesome Cant wait!
Hi!, such a nice work. what`s the distance between pins and the distance between the holes in the low part?
Is this a game ?
Looking forward to this!
Been a great experience working on this. Really excited for the release
Dude! This animation is absolutely gorgeous. Holy shit, I can't wait for the EP.
Clean, peacefull sound Boi!
The irony of making an instrument, then using music made by a completely different instrument
Wonderful!
Needs to work on the right hand technique
Beautiful tone. Nice playing too.
And the music sheet? Nice movements by the way
Maybe I should start playing micd up
Wow this is beautifully keep going brother !
Great video. I'm in the process of making my own talharpa. I too have a family member with an entire basement of tools. I'm building mine differently. I had these 2 nice 8in x 72inx 3/4in pieces of red oak. I cut them in half and now i have a 4 in thick 8"x36" rectangle. I cut out holes on 3 of them and the 4th I routered into it about 1/2in leaving a 1/4in back. Next, I'm going to glue those 4 pieces together. Then I have this 2-tone cherry and oak for the front of it!!! aaaaahhhhh it's going to be AMAZING!!
they spark. it's a brushed motor not a brushless
Nice! Can you tell me how you move your fingers that fast on an accoustic because i am having many problems moving my fingers like you.
5-6 часов каждый день и через и год - два ваши пальцы тоже задвигаются 😊
Thanks for the kind words, I would recommended practicing some scales that move around the fretboard and can train up moving and stretching. Something that changes position on the guitar. best of luck.
Beautiful instrument with a beautiful sound that you created there! Also, I really like your approach on videos, liked it right from the very funny intro. Showing off the mistakes you made and making fun of it, is something you rarely see, but what is absoLutely needed!
i fuck w them bazukis dawg 🫶
