Kaer Morhen - The Witcher 3 (Hammered Dulcimer Cover)

Wind's howling.

The songs from The Witcher feel as though they were meant to be played on the hammered dulcimer. Composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz, "Kaer Morhen" is one of the very first songs I learned on this instrument, which was a steep learning curve as I had to retune some of my strings to get the A sharp and A natural notes. Perhaps this was not my brightest move as a beginner, but well... it smelled of lilac and gooseberries.

The Witcher 3 is my favorite video game, so brace yourselves, you are likely to hear many more songs from the game on this channel.

I wanted to take some time to thank some special people that helped me with this first video.
♡ There is a long list of great musicians on YouTube that I listen to a lot and that inspire me with their own arrangements of video game music - Isac Saleh, Piotr Szumlas, Jonas Lefvert, Beyond The Guitar, Guitars & Dragons, among many others.
♡ Big thanks to Curtis Thorpe, an extraordinary multi-talented musician from Montreal, Canada as well, for his unfailing support and advice since I began with the hammered dulcimer. Check his gorgeous work here:   / curtisdulcimer  
♡ Last but not least, tons of thanks to Arnaud Labelle for his out-of-this-world patience while explaining the basics of audio-recording to me and how to improve my sound. I am a newbie in the self-recording world, and I still have a long way to go. Arnaud happens to be a talented musician and electronic craftsman; check out his new company, Labelle Amplification, right here:   / labelleamplification  

Thank you so much for listening to my music! :)
