  • [Single] Tonbo no Uta

    Enjoy Tonbo no Uta single, a true sakura-inspired spring vibe Latte Chill single. The song is fully produced on Koala Sampler.

    Regarding the title: Tonbo no Uta (とんぼの歌) literally means “Song of Dragonfly”, but may also refer to summer and early (warm) autumn, along with adolescence, growing up. The dragonfly on the other side is oftern perceived as a courageous bug, symbolizing agility and strength of a samurai. In short a brave song to listen in the warm sunset, bracing yourself for the future. Still offering a moment of chill. I wonder if you can envision my song based on that. I guess you should give it a spin, right?

    It will be part of Sakura Sketches 4. Keep following my channels, I will share more information about the cherry blossom-inspired chill EP soon.

    Lastly, about the cover. As I intended to offer a moment of chill before the next challenge, I chose a night image. I believe it fits the vibe the best. Naturally, petals and cherry flowers were key to add. I used one of my own photos. I hope you like it. Ready? Give it a spin below via YouTube, and if you like it, click on the cover. That will drive you to my Bandcamp page as well in case you wish to download it.

  • [Single] Yozakura

    Yozakura single is a chill vibe, sakura-inspired beat that marks the beginning of the cherry blossom season and, in a way, the rebirth of nature. Originally, the single was released as part of Sakura Sketches 2.

    The single, as the cover suggests, offers a laid-back beat. A bit of warmth, sunlight is hidden among the pads and chords.

    Hit play to enjoy the spring vibe. The song is free to listen to on YouTube as well as on my Bandcamp page (click on the cover). So, any listeners are more than welcome. Let us all embrace the sun and spring. The title ‘Yozakura’ itself refers to nighttime cherry blossom watching. This is why my cover features a sunset vibe photo. In Europe, we do not really have lantern-lit cherry trees; therefore, a night photo may not have brought that warm vibe we all feel these days.

    As for the song itself, I used Koala Sampler and some dope samples. I added my own melodies, textures, and layered them in a way that brings us the mood.

  • [EP #54] Sakura Sketches 2

    Sakura Sketches 2

    Spring is finally here, so I am back on track with my next batch: the Sakura Sketches 2. Aiming to offer warm vibes, like the spring wind. Still slightly cold, but already hints the arrival of summer. Flowers revive, buds everywhere.

    The EP consists of 5 new beats, all inspired by the cherry blossom coming up (or already happening, like in certain parts of Japan). Why is this topic so close to my heart? Maybe because I first travelled to Japan during the sakura season. It was an amazing trip. And as a result, I cannot stop waiting for this part of the year over and over again.

    Last year, I featured the first Sakura Sketches, this year, I might release more.

    Production of Sakura Sketches 2

    Similar to the first EP, I used Koala Sampler as the only tool to sketch my beats. I only used Ableton Live to tweak a bit of EQ and offer the same volume across the beats. Naturally, they are imperfect beats, so is the aim of this line. I worked on most beats on the go, in my free time, using samples I had on my phone and adding my beats, percussions and melodies. I believe on the go lofi is starting to become part of Latte Chill vibe. Making beats inspired by the World around us offers a better vibe than staying in, especially now. I mean weather is getting warmer, way to go outside.

    Enjoy my beats to the fullest. Thanks for listening to them, and well, I am open to any of your comments – find me on most social media channels.
