    About Sakura Sketches 4

    Fairly honest with you, I had no plans to release the third sketch EP on cherry blossom this year. I was simply so eager to see the sakura again that I ended up sketching more and more with this vibe in mind.

    Once the beats were concluded, I realised they share the same vibe, and this is the joy of nature, walking under the sun. It is not that warm yet, still about to leave the winter coats already. Seeing buds, enjoying being out. And this is exactly the essence of Sakura Sketches.

    Therefore, similarly to the previous EPs, I used Koala Sampler only to produce the beats.

    Enjoy the show, enjoy my latest release. I am glad you found this article and look forward to your opinion, once spun. If you like the beats and would space a few cents to me: click on the cover and download the whole EP from my Bandcamp page.

  • [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.
