About Color Scheme oriental chill EP
Color Scheme was my first attempt to compose oriental chill beats using sampled traditional instruments of the Far East only. In this chill EP you may hear koto, shamisen, and many oriental instruments that were used in the past to create music. I also dig a bit into Asian Pentatonic Scales to make my music even more oriental and traditional.
Genre: oriental chill
Even though this line of chill songs is usually more meditative. I mean without the use of drums but I felt like this way it would be way too different from Latte Chill’s usual chill beat style. Therefore I sought Chinese folk drums and beats to maintain the oriental mood.
In case you seek more Japan-inspired oriental chill beats, they are part of my discography. Starting with Every Mornings’ Asia, an upbeat but oriental chill song from Y album, and Lazy Japanese Cats’ Sunday Morning Daydream Under the Rainbow in the Garden (my longest-titled song ever) from The Empire album. Furthermore Silent Nite Club and many many others from Dragonic Eve album.
Later I decided to add oriental chill songs to my full albums. So I reworked itsumademo (originally released on CherryWorld-OshareChaos EP) to No Past But Future in a more oriental way. Memories of the Untold chill album came in 2010 with Dreams about The Empire (referring to The Empire album) as well as Timeless Sunshine, one of the most loved oriental upbeat songs among my works.
Itsumademo returned in 2011 as part of Scars EP. This time inspired by more modern music, in fact, Big Bang’s hit songs, while an indie android game, Pandapuff also used traditional folk instruments to make the ambiance more panda-like.
Then, the Latte Chill project was restarted
Latte Chill returned in 2017 with Chinese Restaurant chill EP. As the title suggests, it contains lots of Japan and China-inspired chill beats including Chinatown, Chinese Oolong Tea, and Matcha Latte.
Itsumademo returned again (lol)! As part of the remake of my first album, Mixtery – in 2017 I released ReMixtery. Year 2017 album also contained an oriental song, called South Chinese Sea, where I sampled some oriental sound samples with my beats.
2018 started with tons of nature chill releases and some oriental songs as 5 Mins before 11 on As the Sun Sets chill EP and Rising Sun on Earth nature chill album. Later I started my retro game line with Pokémon Soul Silver. Chill album inspired by the game was released in the summer of 2018, where I composed a song called Ecruteak. The name came from Ecruteak city, which is pretty traditional to me with all the buildings and kimono ladies there. Later that year I also released Tanabata EP. I composed A full chill EP one day, focusing on a traditional Japanese event. Songs worthy to try from that chill EP are Moon Rabbit and Odori.
Lastly, in 2019 I had the chance to travel to Tokyo for the first time in my life. Essentially an EP inspired by my travel was released right after: Tokyo19 with Sushi Passage, Sakura Garden, and much more.
The retro video game line also continued with the Leaf Green game. As a result, I added Lavender, a song both spooky and traditional in the same way.
In short, I adore traditional folk beats of the East and compose songs in this genre from time to time. Color Scheme was different as from toe to head I used traditional pentatonic scales and oriental sound samples. I hope you will like them.

Latte Chill music mixes live
Some of my mixes containing tracks from this Asian-inspired EP are the following:
Sakura Beat and Sakura Beat 3. Both feature beats inspired by the cherry blossom.
Sad Moments, the first mix. As the title suggests, it is the opposite of blooming, more like glooming, so to speak. But we all need it from time to time.
And Chill Mixtery #4, an eclipse of Latte Chill beats from a certain era.
