  • [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] Thread of Fate

    thread of fate of Pagoda EP

    Sakura is here, Thread of Fate is an oriental chill beat inspired by Japan and the Far East; part of Pagoda EP.

    Click on the cover to grab this song for free or listen below~

    This song is featuring traditional instruments such as koto and shamisen (same for all Pagoda beats) aiming to offer a true oriental vibe. I also focused on having less beats. In this way this song is more meditative to my point of view.

    This East Asian inspired genre is long close to my heart. I travelled to Tokyo in 2019. Even since (and even before), I produce tons of beats inspired by this aura. I also dream of getting back years later with my family and relive this true vibe. I mean I love living in Europe but time to time encountering something completely different inspires me for making good music and renew myself as Latte Chill.

    Thread of Fate is part of a renewal like that. Enjoy it the fullest, grab the song for free and also follow me for more new beats. More songs are coming soon and Pagoda will go live in a couple of weeks as well.

  • [Single] Sushi Passage

    Sushi Passage

    The second single of Tokyo19 featuring my trip to Japan in 2019 is Sushi Passage inspired by Omoide Yokocho Shinjuku.

    Sushi Passage in fact is a name we came up with, when we found this place. Actually, we did not know about it with my wife. But of course we had to walk through such a nice place like this. And make photos (such as the cover).

    But enough of words right? See the videos below.

    Anyways, if you are into the song, hit play button below and click on the cover to get it for free. You will be redirected to my Bandcamp page and learn more about how to get my songs free (really free!)

    Still, if Bandcamp is not your taste, enjoy my Far East inspired chill vibe music below on YouTube.

    And of course if you are interested in what to see, hit play button below. I made some videos with the title song featuring the actual place, where I was inspired. Join us for a walk-through in Omoide Yokocho. Have a glimpse on the restaurants opening (we were there a bit early) and enjoy the sakura (cherry blossom) vibe, the truest one from Tokyo.
