  • Walking Stick

    Walking Stick anime wallpaper was inspired by a little beat released as part of Stock Stories Extended in the early months of 2022.

    About Walking Stick – the wallpaper

    It was shot by my Honor 20 Pro smartphone during a little walk in the centre of Budapest. It was around last December if I recall it well. We spent some time in a restaurant with my wife. This place was shot because I intend to come back later. I mean that chill was really the mood I prefer. People had their coffee talking with each other sitting outside on a warm winter day. Looks chillful right?

    I processed the photo later using Lightroom and Snapseed as well. I intended to offer a draw like vibe spiced with some anime feeling. Essentially I know it is far from a proper drawing, still I guess offers a vibe.

    About Walking Stick – the song

    Well, this is how my wallpaper (and photo) art meets my music. With Latte Chill project, I publish bunch of lo-fi and chill-out beats every year. This time I had some reworks on older pieces where I was unhappy with the overall sound. Stock Stories was reworked in order to sound better. I even added 4 new songs doubling the length of the EP.

    Walking Stick is one of the new beats I released this January. I believe the beat has a cute little “on the go” vibe which kind of describes my feeling when I walk in the city. As I took this photo on the go, I felt like the songs described the vibe perfectly.

I used stock notes only both for the beats and the melodies. My aim was to limit myself a bit to focus more on music production. This was my way to learn beat making on the famous Pocket Operator. I mean it is only a budget (the most budget) sampler on the market. On the other hand easily fits your pocket. You can bring it with yourself anywhere offering a more chillful way of music production.

    I started using it last year releasing my first EP ‘Stock Stories‘. After a year’s time I learnt to master lo-fi beats better, hence I remastered the original EP. On the other hand I decided to add something new as well. This is how Stock Stories Extended was born. I added 4 new lo-fi beats to the existing songs. One of them is Walking Stick of course. I released it a couple of weeks before in January. I will also re-release Wabi-Sabi with the same setup before launching my brand new lo-fi album, Travellers.

    Let me share some more information about it later. For now enjoy the video I just uploaded.

  • [Single] Cute Melody

    Cute Melody is a new single from Stock Stories Extended EP released a couple of days before. Listen to the song above. A little lo-fi melody composed on my Pocket Operator 33 KO.

    Cute Melody and Stock Stories Extended EP

    Stock Stories was originally released in 2021. A simple lo-fi EP and as its name suggest: I only used stock notes during the production. When I purchased my PO-33 KO, I literally had no idea how to use it. As a result I started jamming on it. I did not rush to produce beats with it. At first I wanted to understand how does it work. At the end I put together the best beats and released Stock Stories.

    Months later I realised that Stock Stories is pretty quiet compare to the rest of Latte Chill lo-fi releases. Therefore I had difficulties to use them on mixes. I decided to remaster them after a year.

    On the other hand I wish to add something extra: 4 new songs. Actually I doubled Stock Stories. This is where Cute Melody came to the picture. On the of the first melodies I produced for the remaster. Also I worked on these new beats to make the mix better. It is not just the volume that has been aligned but I built a different rack as well.

    Fun fact: I used the same photo for Stock Stories EP and Stock Stories Extended EP. I am not intending to deceive anyone. Even on my website the extended edition got an extra paragraph and that is it.

    Fun fact 2: the photo of Cute Melody on the other hand was shot in Tokyo. It was back in 2019. I found that photo dope and therefore used it as a cover. I took it in Asakusa by the famous gate you probably saw on many photos.

    Fun Fact 3: the song is free. Click on the cover to get Cute Melody.
