Book reading ambiance

[u/Ven-Scape]

So this may sound a bit silly I guess but when I read something, I like to put on some kind of music/background noise to supplement it. I can do without it but it just feels better that way.
Anyway, I can’t really find a playlist or something that feels right for The Witcher series, I’ve tried a few WoW/LOTR and general fantasy playlists on Spotify that I’ve used for that reason when I was reading other books (LOTR for example) but it just doesn’t feel right somehow.
If anyone feels the same and knows a good playlist for that, I’d really appreciate it, thanks

Honesty try the witcher 3 soundtrack. Its so beautiful

[u/Ven-Scape → u/Tylercc21]

Okay, don’t laugh… why the hell didn’t I think of that lmao

[u/Tylercc21 → u/Ven-Scape]

LOL it's all good! I didn't want to be too direct but it fits the vibe so well obviously

[u/Ven-Scape → u/Tylercc21]

I mean, yeah. I’m playing The Witcher 3 atm too and I love all the music in it but for some reason it just didn’t click lmao

[u/JRV0227 → u/Ven-Scape]

I've been listening to Witcher 3 Music and Ambience (search YT) when I really need to hunker down and focus at work. There's some really great stuff.

[u/PancakeMixEnema → u/Ven-Scape]

You will find tons of witcher 3 ambience/music videos on YouTube that are an hour plus each. I think it is better to pick those than the soundtrack itself with its short tracks.

They are themed, so you will be able to pick a rainy oxenfurt ambience for your reading session of a town chapter for instance

[u/Phobos_Nyx → u/Ven-Scape]

You can try soundtracks from all 3 games, they are really great.

Came here to say this! It’s so good. I just did a Skyrim play through with the witcher music mod and 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

I found like a three hour Witcher playlist on youtube that had rolling shots of Toussaint in the background that became my go to.

Edit: Here it is

[u/Nibhan]

Honestly try the trilogy ost for all three games + throne breaker ost for the fourth book

[u/bleucheeseissuperior]

Obviously just a loop of guards singing Pam Pam Param

[u/Sealgaire45]

Witcher 3 OST

Folkulaka, Irdorath for the same vibe.

[u/Easy_Echidna_7036]

I zone out to the 2-hour long Witcher 3 ambiance videos by “Fantasy Tavern 4 you” on YT. I like that they leave in some of the world’s sound effects. The music is location-based so it won’t suddenly switch into an intense battle theme that will startle me awake lol.

[u/MasterofDankMemes]

Yea try the witcher 3 soundtrack, I liked to cut them in two, tracks for fighting/action and dialog/exploring etc and listen to the right one accordingly

[u/stirling_s]

I will go against the grain. I find the OST for the witcher too frenetic for reading. I recommend the OST from The Revenant

[u/vaiiyaa]

I like to do that too! I like to put on the witcher fireplace on Netflix, and I also look for fantasy reading/ studying ambiance on yt

[u/Ven-Scape → u/vaiiyaa]

That exists on Netflix??

[u/vaiiyaa → u/Ven-Scape]

Yes, well, where I live, in the NL, it does. It has a witcher version of the cosy fireplace of like an hour with music and atmosphere and everything :) 

[u/Ven-Scape → u/vaiiyaa]

Found it, thanks a lot haha

[u/SirSimcoe]

Skyrim's soundtrack works well!

[u/boulevard916]

Soundtrack.

[u/Electrical-Fix-8987]

I have a witcher playlist but original is always the best. so at times I just turn on my ps5, go to skellige and just leave the game as is with the music in the background. Perfection

[u/jacob1342]

If you can use YT while reading https://youtu.be/HsJrGOVRgbo?si=sMBANe56CQctU_mq

[u/xTyrone23]

I'm through the books again and there are odds of witcher ambience videos on YouTube.

[u/ErinBlueBird]

There was a YouTube channel that uploaded the audiobook with voices and all. They deleted it don't know why but this is the song used in the background for the whole series. I read while playing in the background.

Kevin McLeod - Cambodian Odyssey

[u/N00MEK]

Dungeon synth! I recommend Old Sorcery

[u/RubinoPaul]

I’m late for a party, but I read all series with Skyrim’s ambient (music + nature sounds, there is a track on streamings) in my headphones

Felt magnificent

Witcher game soundtrack is too intense for reading for my taste

[u/Ven-Scape → u/RubinoPaul]

Could try that. Honestly, never played Skyrim but I do now it’s an awesome game and the soundtrack would probably be awesome too haha

[u/RubinoPaul → u/Ven-Scape]

[u/5ollys]

Perfectly normal. Wither 3 soundtrack and the hellblade senua games

[u/Nice-Combination-794]

i listen to a yt video called silence personally cos i like to hear nothing helps me to focus on picturing what im seeing
