Listen to Sakura Sketches 3 EP.
Sakura Sketches 3
With Spring fully with us now, I share Sakura Sketches 3 with you all. This is clearly a series now, following Sakura Sketches and Sakura Sketches 2. Thank you for embarking on this journey with me, welcoming the rebirth of nature.
Production of Sakura Sketches 3
The most difficult part of production is timing and getting into the mood. Cherry blossom is instant, 8-10 days every year. In order to prepare for it, I am getting into the sakura vibe weeks ahead of it, producing beats welcoming the season. But then, I have a few days and weeks to mix and master the beats. Last year, I produced the first set of beats, ‘Sakura Sketches’, and loved the output, so this year I was even more prepared. How?
I have collected samples for a year and put them on my phone. Migrated the whole project to Koala Sampler, enabling on-the-go vibing and producing at the same time. Lastly, I enhanced my pre-mixing practices to speed up mastering in Ableton Live.
The results were pretty rewarding. I have released 2 Sakura Sketches EPs this year, with 10 new beats. I find it amazing, especially since I did the majority of the work starting at the end of January to mid-February. Well, I hope you enjoy my beats, give them a spin and let me know.
