It has been a while since I last had the chance to upload a new wallpaper, so here comes Old Ale. Old Ale was originally released on Sapphire album at the end of 2021. Listen to the beat below and scroll for my story.
About the anime wallpaper
This photo was taken in Budapest. Somewhere in the 13th district I guess. It was early morning and I had some business to do over there. Therefore I remember walking in the cold morning. It was winter already, yet there were some yellow leaves still. It was really uplifting, yet melancholic. I had just too many beats that may reflect the vibe. After giving it several thoughts I decided to choose Old Ale. This song really-really gives that vibe. Might be misleading as many of you might wish to add some more happy feelings to the picture. But I was not too happy that day. Cannot recall why? Maybe it was winter. Or just too cold and I had to get up early..
Old Ale – the song
Well, Old Ale was inspired by a Pokémon game I recently replayed in my free time. For more info on this topic, check the link on Sapphire above. If you played the game, you will know which city inspired the beats.
Otherwise I originally composed the beats on Ableton with my Novation Launchkey. Yet, later decided to move the whole album to PO-33, making it much more lo-fi.
Therefore the whole song was restructured and played again on PO-33 KO. Though, I released the original version as single b-side song.
From genre perspective it is oddly melancholic for a lo-fi beat. I know many of the low fidelity fans to expect warm melodies. Somehow I end up composing more songs in minor, offering a melancholic vibe to the listener.
