  • [Single] Sakura Garden

    sakura garden

    In 2019 I had the chance to travel to Tokyo for 10 days and composed an EP of this travel: Sakura Garden is the first single from Tokyo19.

    Historically, I composed all the beats upon coming back from Tokyo in 2019 and then worked on the EP linked above. I believe it kind of gives back the vibe and my feelings. Honestly, it is a very-very different place. If you travel there open minded, you are to see a whole new world!

    Later, I worked on tons of videos that I feature up above in my article. First, the short editions of my journeys and then during the lock down, I decided to create the uncut edition with literally all the photos and videos, I could share. Between us, this is not a small thing: we put together 56GBs of photos and video footage with my wife. And we could only record video in 1080p with my old Asus Zenfone 3, so videos are not taking up much of a space.

    Anyways, Sakura Garden is featuring that one and only sakura (cherry blossom) vibe. To our great luck, we travelled to Tokyo during sakura prime. It was not planned, we bought our tickets in December and sakura was expected to arrive much later. Yet, due to some unforeseen warm front, it started earlier and we landed on the first days. Essentially, we re-planned our days immediately and spent the first days in parks to enjoy cherry blossom along with all the other lucky tourists and locals.

  • [Single] Hard Luck Woman

    A single from Bebop IV within the genre of space chill hinted with the warmth of lofi: Hard Luck Woman was an entertaining single to work on.

    If you don’t have time: click on the cover and get the song for free. Any shares are appreciated.

    If you have too much time: click on Bebop IV and read the story behind the production of the complete EP.

    For all the rest, thank you for reading my little article on this song.

    As you may have guessed it right: it is inspired by Cowboy Bebop. A famous anime from the early ’00s. I composed all beats episode by episode, trying to offer you my feelings of that episode in question. At the end I released 20+ songs over 2 years of work time. Enjoy them all on my website.

    Besides sharing the song on different compilation albums and EPs, I have also created some basic footage video with the song over the years. I had some night videos:

    Trains during a locomotive event in spring (or early summer):

    And even fishes during my trips.

    I wonder which one fits the best…

  • [Single] The Real Folk Blues

    The Real Folk Blues Latte Chill

    Soothe your mind with jazzy chill vibes of The Real Folk Blues. One of the last songs before the release of Bebop IV. A four piece set of space chill EPs, all inspired by Cowboy Bebop anime. I hope you enjoy them all, feel free to check my page and listened to all the 24+ beats I composed inspired by the series.

    About The Real Folk Blues

    Even though the title might be a bit misleading as a very famous song (the end title of Cowboy Bebop) shares it. This song is not inspired by the song itself. It is more relying on the episode titled like this by the end of the series.

    Without much of a spoiler I can say that all the tension built up though the series is hitting the top in this episode. I intended to built it into this song by making it a bit more longer, offering more time to vibe. During the production I added more reverb and delay, it makes the song more spacey, yet chill. I used acoustic drum samples to offer a vinyl vibe as a counter point for the futuristic pads and the vast space for the ears the large amount of reverb creates. It gives therefore a noir vibe at the end with bittersweet chill.
