  • [Single] Ruins of Hope

    Ruins of Hope cover

    Ruins of Hope is the second single of Ultra Sun album. I would describe this song as an Asian lo-fi chill beat. I produced the song on PO-33 KO. A little lo-fi sampler I acquired in mid-2021. Ever since becoming my number one tool for lo-fi beat production. Why? Simply, it is easy to work on beats. Instead of booting up and loading many project. Instead of turning on my PC, I just hit play and here I go.

    Of course I change samples regularly and it takes some effort to make good sketches with it. Still, Ruins of Hope is a perfect example what PO-33 is capable of.

    With regards to the song, it is a true nature chill-out song with acoustic samples being used. I added no arps or anything. As a result the song is pretty slow and chill.

    Ultra Sun came with further singles as well. Keep following to get the latest news. Also if you liked the song, feel free to download it.

  • [Single] Ode to a Bonsai

    ode to a bonsai

    Last single of Pagoda EP, an oriental chill vibe beats release. Ode to a Bonsai is a meditative song featuring koto and shamisen.

    The sakura (cherry blossom) themed East Asian chill beats with oriental vibe from Pagoda EP is going to be released soon. Keep following my channels and do not miss my new songs. Any comments and reviews are more than welcome.

    As this song is inspired by my actual travels to the Far East, I hope you will also enjoy the audio trip with me. I spent quite some time to look for the right soundfonts and instrument samples. I mean obviously I cannot play instruments like koto and shamisen. Sadly. So, I decided to investigate it the much I can and work hard on offering an authentic vibe. As a result I listened to Japanese folk songs before working on Pagoda songs. I even owned bonsais, while working on Ode to a Bonsai.

    Did you like the song? Let me know! Send me your comments on Twitter or YouTube. Any review are more than welcome, I will built them in into my upcoming beats, let it be melody, mixing or something else.

  • [Single] Oath of the Moon

    oath of the moon

    Pagoda‘s second oriental chill single arrives with Oath of the Moon. A koto and shamisen focused Far East inspired song for free.

    As mentioned already this is the second single from Pagoda EP, a sakura themed East Asian folk chill beats. Spoiler, third to come as well. No wonder I was not adding “second and final”.

    Keep following for more beats.

    By the way, can you guess the source of the photo? I mean it is my own one, but where was it taken? It is my photo of Asakusa, one of the most amazing areas of Tokyo. It was taken by the market right after sunset. Walking there was such an amazing thing back in 2019.

    Allow me to share some old videos on this topic. Featuring a different song of course. I produced Oath of the Moon years later inspired by this walk. We travelled there with my wife. I remember even grabbing some food for dinner by a local restaurant around this area. It was a lovely experience.

    Hoping to get back one day.

    Thanks for reading the story behind. I hope you will enjoy Pagoda EP beats.
