Music Recs?
So I'm making a playlist for my 'Flesh Castles' setting, because it is entirely vibes based (i.e unlike my other writing projects where I have thousands of words written I just daydream about Flesh Castles).
Most music thus far is background video game or movie soundtracks, with only one or two songs thrown in -
I am looking for music which is;
medieval sounding
wet
uses stringed instruments, or organs, or harps (which have strings but idk if they're classed the same as the cello and violin I do not Know Music)
alien/sci fi ish but without sounding like machines or synthetic noises
evokes deep scary forests
hopefully more SONGS because it's all kinda background tunes rn
There is no plot to Flesh Castles yet but it's a science-fiction/fantasy set on an alien planet. The planet is covered in deep lush forests full of worms, molluscs and amphibians, and the atmosphere is so wet that a common weather is 'algal clouds' of airborn algae (everything gets covered in wet green slime afterwards).
The eponymous castles are huge ?animals? that people live in - biopunk buildings that breathe and have a heartbeat thrumming through the walls. The people who live there have Medieval European Fantasy Vibes because I wanted to write that sort of arthurian/chivalric romance kinda thing, but I also wanted sci fi, so it's basically knights and swords and things but in a fleshy, meaty, alien world. The knights also have alien arthropods grafted onto them and over time they become more armoured but also more animalistic, until they are scuttling around on all fours to hunt down the monarch's enemies.
Got any music recommendations for this playlist?
