Jeremy Soule (b. December 19, 1975) is an award-winning American composer from Keokuk, Iowa and a prolific composer of orchestral videogame scores. Soule's soundtracks are often critically acclaimed as being among the best in the computer and video games industry and as rivaling the quality of many orchestral film soundtracks. A large percentage of Soule's music is done electronically and emulates real orchestral music so well that it is frequently indistinguishable from the real thing. Read Full BioJeremy Soule (b. December 19, 1975) is an award-winning American composer from Keokuk, Iowa and a prolific composer of orchestral videogame scores. Soule's soundtracks are often critically acclaimed as being among the best in the computer and video games industry and as rivaling the quality of many orchestral film soundtracks. A large percentage of Soule's music is done electronically and emulates real orchestral music so well that it is frequently indistinguishable from the real thing. He often collaborates with his brother, Julian Soule, with whom he also founded DirectSong; a company that sells DRM-free downloads of several classical composers, including Jeremy's own compositions.

Soule has been working in the music industry since 1994 when he became an employee of Square. He then left to join Humongous Entertainment, where he composed for several children's games as well as Total Annihilation, his first award-winning score. He left to form his own music production company, Soule Media in 2000, now called Artistry Entertainment. Through this company Soule has created several award-winning soundtracks. In 2005 he founded DirectSong. Soule's works have been played in several live concerts such as the Symphonic Game Music Concert in Germany and the international Play! A Video Game Symphony concert series.

A change in musical style may be felt by listeners of his compositions past 2005. As Soule had a near-death experience in a car crash about which he reportedly stated in an interview for FiringSquad: "I ended up rolling in my car several times on an interstate while flying headlong into oncoming traffic ... I felt no fear ... I simply just acknowledged to myself that I've had a good life and I would soon have to say goodbye to all of it in a matter of seconds".

He has produced and composed music for:

* Armies of Exigo
* Azurik: Rise of Perathia
* Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
* Company of Heroes
* Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

Jeremy Soule recently took legal action against KHInsider, a website dedicated to keeping rare soundtracks online. The owner of the site decided to remove the offending material in order to avoid being sued by Soule, who was not only trying to have his own music removed, but all the music on the site. At the same time, many customers of DirectSong have had been waiting months if not years for their physical CDs to arrive and so some filed a lawsuits against DirectSong. DirectSong no longer offers its music in physical media.

@Geytkeypur I only said what was true. I can't even begin to understand how long and hard it must have been to edit the video again and again. It's funny how I keep forgetting to subscribe to you. Keep doing what you do, even when it seems impossible. It'll ALWAYS be worth the struggle

P.S. I subscribed. Don't worry boyo.

P.P.S It's the ninth of Evening Star, we're almost there!

P.P.P.S I haven't had a storm up here in NJ yet, but once it comes, I'll be glad. Because then, I can call my friends so we can do some serious Skyrim RP out in town haha.

@Geytkeypur If I might jump in, try Nagrand, Dun Morogh, Storm Peaks, Elwynn forest. There are plenty more to choose from, but I'd recommend these anytime.

Geytkeypur

@Veslanjejezivot are there any you recommend right off hand?
Thanks for suggesting that by the way, sorry for my late reply I had to run this morning after publishing the video.

Back when I was younger I used to play this game at night , all alone , with headphones , this song gave me chills.
It still does. Game and audio well made.

Yes this track has quickly become track that has grown on me. I'm glad my wife found the footage: the sense of solitude gives me peace from anxiety

Starry Souls

The music of this series flows through my heart and soul every step I take.
The Elder Scrolls is not just a game or mere fantasy, it's a part of who I am, part of who we all are. This game has changed my life in ways I never thought were even possible. Geytkeypur helps us all feel that call, that faint whisper calling us into yet another adventure. We can't hide it, we all feel the pull of Tamriel, it truly is magical

Gorgeous video. I'm from Alaska and this footage and ambiance reminds me of home.

Nad G

You are so lucky :(

Haley Jones

Geytkeypur Yes, I was surrounded by it every winter, especially when I went skiing :)

Geytkeypur

2y↑1

Awesome! :-) I just checked the weather in Anchorage, we have similar temperatures here (winter storm warning). While in Alaska, were you able to you observe scenery like this? It appears so surreal.

Renato Lopes

Man, what a great content! I used to use this song on my tabletop games and really liked it, even though it was pretty short. This problem doesn't exist anymore lol. Thank you for your work ;)

Renato Lopes

@Geytkeypur I am SO GLAD to hear that! Your videos are awesome to create an atmosphere in role-playing games like dungeon and dragon, for example. I'm really thankful for this channel and your work! So keep it up!

Geytkeypur

2y↑1

Hey there :-) After listening to an interview a few days ago, I'm looking forward to doing any Skyrim extensions that I've missed, as well as any of Soule's older / unreleased tracks. What games did you like to play? Also glad you like the video :-)

Michael Morris

Here I am again just soaking up the atmosphere with the imagination Jeremy Soule has given us through your talented and well seasoned devotion to make sure the public can rest and daydream in perfect, preserved and peaceful personal rejuvenation. You kill it every time with your edits Geytkeypur. Thank you and beyond from all of those who avidly seek your work.

Michael Morris

I had no clue the man was working that early in the industry! How awesome. I'll have to see what I can find. Or perhaps you could tease all of us with a short project? :) Definitely need to check his early stuff out then. Keep it cozy.

Geytkeypur

Hey Michael :-)
Making these videos more immersive again is a goal of mine. Recently, I watched several interviews of Soule and became aware of his early SNES work. Have you ever heard any of it? It's good to hear from you bro :-) Stay warm

Sea Bird

This is a great video !!, the music fits perfect with the winter forest, I'm from Wisconsin, and this reminds me of the winters when I'd go hunting, or just walking through the woods. Thanks.

CASTELLAN'S LEAGUE OF TATTERDEMALLIONS

I love it, thanks for the walk through memories, only, I kept expecting a troll to jump out at me! lol! A thousand thanks yous, friend. 8)

Geytkeypur

LOL, I understand. :-)
when I go back and watch these videos it looks like something is about to jump out and sometimes it is unnerving LOL. Rest assured, I'll never put a video with any surprises in it, I hope you enjoy the video, :-) greetings from the East Coast, stay warm my friend.

Sue Condon

Gorgeous, one of my favourites and perfect arctic footage to go with it. Thank you so much Geytkeypur, this is sublime!

Is it looking like everything will turn out well? Regardless, I hope it does. I'm glad you enjoy the video and I hope it relieves some stress.

I always use this song in the background when my Pathfinder players are entering a dark dungeon. Everyone's on the edge of his seat. Great video to accompany it here, too! Thanks for posting this!

Cj T

@Geytkeypur It's very much like D&D. I believe it's based on the "3.5" version rules of D&D, so many of the mechanics are similar, I hear. I wouldn't know because I got back into playing after a long hiatus, so I missed many of the D&D iterations. I had heard about the popularity of Pathfinder so my friends and I just decided to give it a go. Though life demands have limited our playing time, it's been fun on the occasions we do get to play.

Geytkeypur

2y↑1

Glad to be of service my friend :-) I really am, I've never played Pathfinder before, sounds intriguing though. Is it comparable to D&D?

Ethan Valdez

I just call this the skyrim dungeon song. I hear this most often and it kind of annoys me haha.

Amari Coleman

I love your work man. I go to you when I'm feeling down, and I go to you when I can't focus on my work. Thanks you dude. The people who disliked this must be new to YouTube.

Amari Coleman

Geytkeypur

Hey I really appreciate what you said. Because, likewise, I come here to get the positive feedback (such as what you have provided), and what it does for me. Thank you, and I hope that you were not in the path of the winter storm. My wife says hello. If you have anything heavy on your mind you can always send me an email/PM if you need to talk. Peace my friend, thanks

Me personally, I'm dying for some new information on TES VI :) thanks for commenting! And hopefully, at the Helm of the music will be Jeremy. I'm not sure if it's been confirmed yet....

Linea Faerylight Ginn

Omg, this is amazing, Can I use your video with music as a background and visual for my audio speaking. I have around 7-8000 subs and will credit you and share your link.

dill and sweetgrass

this track always used to unsettle me. my character would be deep in a tomb somewhere with jenassa at her back saying "few would dare to trespass in these ruins" and my character and i would both shudder, knowing somewhere in the darkness ahead, there's all manner of draugrs and creepy things that will want to kill us. accompanied with these visuals you've added, the feeling of this song is completely reversed. i find it meditative, beautiful, even peaceful and calming. it's amazing to me that a song that used to strike fear in me now has the complete opposite effect. you must be a mage!

Stone Wolf356

Because this is the Character Creation theme for Skyrim, I decided to play this while making my first DnD character. It actually fits really well. Fills in the "blank space" While still providing a bit of atmosphere.

So many loser channels on YouTube that only focus on being negative. You're above them all Geytkeypur keep up the good work 🙂

"Now if once again, along with those who had remained shackled there, the freed person
had to engage in the business of asserting and maintaining opinions about the shadows -- while his eyes are
still weak and before they have readjusted, an adjustment that would require quite a bit of time -- would he
not then be exposed to ridicule down there? And would they not let him know that he had gone up but only
in order to come back down into the cave with his eyes ruined -- and thus it certainly does not pay to go up"

@Ta Control Sweet, I'm about to check it out

@Geytkeypur Yeah, It's from Plato's 'The Allegory of the Cave' :)

I absolutely enjoyed playing TES: Skyrim at night, especially after work (2-10 shift). When this particular melody played, I loved it. I recently platinumed the game on the PS4, and it was just as fun.

@Commander Shepard Shepard.

Commander Shepard

@Geytkeypur Of course! I think adding visual elements to the music is an interesting (and valuable) concept. It almosts recasts the music in a new that I hadn't pictured it before and gives a little more life to it sometimes.

Jeremy Soule is the best. I first heard his music back in the days of Total Annihilation.

Geytkeypur

I was watching some Jeremy Soule interviews last night, he was talking about game music in general. I have to say, this track (which I unfortunately overlooked) grew on me, but... I understand that some feel different. However, I'm glad you like it :-)

Michał

Video looks like path in Dolina Roztoki

Noe Berengena

In the future people will pay to watch movies like this in a cold movie theater (air conditioned of course) while the ambient temperature outside is HOT and HUMID all the time.
