    Few words on Wabi-Sabi

    Wabi-Sabi album is heavily building on ikigai. That means the “reason for being”. The concept of waking up every day and doing what you do according to Japanese culture. I went more in-depth on this matter as part of the album description linked above. So click if you are interested.

    The point is that the album title literally means “chilling alone”. A kind of being for yourself, thinking. I thought this is the perfect title for an instrumental chill album, I believe perfect for focus time. It has soothing beats, happy vibe songs and even sad chill ones. Offering a range of moods and this way you also have the chance to go over the different vibes.

    Why is it important?

    I believe and this is the key message of Monte Cristo as well: you can only be truly happy if you have been truly sad. You can only enjoy life if you have the different moods right, so at the end enjoy what you have.

    About Seventh Heaven

    A lo-fi song fully produced on my PO-33 KO pocket sampler. In fact it was the first song I have produced for Wabi-Sabi LP if I recall well. It is a very simple beat offering a soothing vibe with true vinyl aura. I worked a lot on post-production (I mean mastering) to keep that warm vibe I intend to offer to the listener.

    Even though this song was recorded somewhere in May I guess, rest of the album was finished well later between June and July. I know it may sound fast, but in general this was my first full album on the new instrument. It means I focused a lot on the production. I wanted to master the instrument and therefore produced lots of beats on the go.

    Videos with this song

    Had quite a few during the summer. Majority of them were kept simple. Like our hedgehog in the garden. Sorry for that. The focus is on the music. But time to time I love experimenting with plain videos.

  • [Single] Shogun’s Room

    Shogun's room

    New lo-fi single: Shogun’s Room is it. The title song was inspired by oriental Japanese vibe featuring lo-fi sounds, produced on PO-33 KO!

    Shogun’s Room is part of Wabi-Sabi album, my first LP produced on my latest instrument. The album is set to express the imperfection of melodies and sound quality that is often noticeable if you listen to a vinyl release. A lo-fi tool offers such warmth we get used to, while listening to old music.

    Check Shogun’s Room live

    I recorded the song live as well as the process. Funnily, the record itself was dark as well. I guess the mood influenced the results. I mean it must have been a darker, cloudy day and I ended up producing a darker song. Which is rare on Wabi-Sabi album to be honest.

    Lastly, fun fact about the cover: it is an own photo. I shot it in a Japanese garden in autumn. Pretty much matching the vibe I wished to share with you.

    Thanks for checking my latest single. I am to return with a brand new lo-fi beat pretty soon. Until then, do not forget to follow me on my channels and check my page regularly for more free beats.
