Hey it's JK Noble, Author and Artist of the YA Fantasy Novel Series, HALE and I'm excited to
announce my new Spotify playlist, Griffin Lore: Songs of Old! This playlist dives into the heart of Griffin culture as portrayed in my HALE YA Fantasy Novel Series, especially the stories of the previous generation of Griffins. These are not just any melodies; they’re Celtic tunes that echo the spirit and lore of a lost civilization. The music flows from soothing and tranquil to invigorating and intense, as if calling the listener to prepare for an epic quest. It’s been a joy to put together, capturing the essence of Griffin heritage and bringing a piece of that ancient, mystical culture to life through sound.
I’ve handpicked songs by composers like BrunuhVille and Adrian von Ziegler—both artists I genuinely admire for their ability to craft melodies that transport listeners to a different realm. Listening to fantasy music like theirs always helps me immerse myself deeply in my work, whether I’m writing, coding, or creating digital artworks for the HALE series. There’s something magical about the right playlist: it doesn’t just fill the silence; it creates an atmosphere that fuels creativity and focus.
Griffin Lore: Songs of Old isn’t about the current generation of Griffins in my series but instead represents their ancestors' culture. This is pure Griffin tradition, with Celtic songs, jigs, and an energy that’s both timeless and fierce. The tracks are infused with an ancient, unrestrained spirit, perfect for sparking inspiration and bringing a sense of adventure to any creative project.
This music also tells a story—a tale of the Griffins of the previous generation who now live as refugees in the secluded town of Tamin within the Kingdom of Bimmorus. Forced to hide their powers and denied the right to shift between their human and Griffin forms, these Griffins have been segregated from the blue-skinned Bimmorians. They live in isolation, far from the kingdom they once ruled, yet their resilient spirit and ancient traditions live on through songs like those in this playlist. Famous characters like Marcus and his parents, Eliath and Ariah, incorporate this music in their day-to-day lives!
I hope this playlist inspires you as much as it inspires me. Whether you’re embarking on your own creative quest or just need an escape into another world, Griffin Lore: Songs of Old is here to guide you. Let these melodies spark your imagination and give you a taste of what true Griffin culture feels like—no magic required. Enjoy, and may this music bring you the courage and creativity of the Griffins.
This playlist is coming to Youtube very soon! Follow me on youtube to get notified!
As always, you can purchase the HALE series for anyone ages 12+, anywhere where books are sold!
Happy Listening!
