BLOG
Hi! Thanks for hopping over to my blog. This is a space for me to share and archive demos, little practice pieces and everything that doesn't quite deserve its own upload on Spotify, etc.
This is mostly a space for myself but you are of course welcome to listen along.
Some highlights!

Aaaa, I really like this one! Some uke and contrabass practice inspired by Fireflies from Owl City. Small perc like snare drum & shaker, I really like the texture of the contrabass in the high notes.

Piano practice, 200 bpm in 5/4.
All improv, one take, no quantisation.
Missed a few but pretty good. I'm playing all 8th notes tho so maybe some triplets next time?

A quick loop using the melody from "Hella" played by piano and strings. For me a practice demo for using Cinematic Studio Strings, I really like the sound of them!

Scoring practice, strings from Metropolis Ark 4, sound very, ugly? but I also really like their character.
Added some guitars, ukes & percussion from the Andea library!

Orchestral practice using the Metropolis Ark libraries.
Orchestral versions of two different Undertale themes, I think they sound really realistic!
Exploring the different instruments and articulations.
Love the choir !

A short piece using the Metropolis Ark 3 library.
Very intense, tried to use many unusual orchestral techniques!
Could be an intro of a drama series I think!

A short piece in baroque style using the Metropolis Ark 2 library.
First part is slow, second part a faster dance with low toms.

Layered recording loop of my new acoustic guitar based on my song 'Korean Bubble Tea'.
21-11-2024
More Andea library instruments!
This time a piece for a tiple guitar among others. I really like how it plays and responds to me.
21-11-2024
I finally got the full Andea library from Orchestral Tools! This is some live improv with two of the instruments and a lot of reverb. Gosh, they're so pretty!
29-10-2024
Underjazz, again!
A loop for a small jazz ensemble, mainly two nylon guitars baed on the Undertale theme!
06-10-2024
Loop test using nylon guitar and a solo horn from a sample library I haven't used before. Mixing of the guitar is a little too boomy but I like the sound.
28-09-2024
Short piece I made while in vc on discord, so another bean moment, yes.
I really like the melody instrument! Mostly old GBA instruments.
21-08-2024
A short loop trying out lots of audio effects like reversing and glitching the audio. I really like it but I definitely went overboard, lmao.
10-01-2024
I am going on a roadtrip to the UK this summer with one of my two best friends! To celebrate I made this Irish inspired piece. (Yes, I know Ireland isn't part of the UK but it has the most intresting music!)
22-12-2023
Another chill beat, older synths and old GBA guitar always sound good!
20-12-2023
I finally got my new pc!
One of the first things I did after setting everything up and copying all my libraries is loading the piano sample and playing this.
Complete improv.
Also made a second version with orchestra and bells, all still one take improv.
09-12-2023
Ehehehe, a very silly and only slightly annoying piece using choir samples from the Nintendo Wii.
I do think it's cute in a way!
13-11-2023
Short loop using older sounding synths plugins, turned out really cute, imo!
18-10-2023
Wow, two in one!
I just got a life time subscription of Musio, and while rethinking that decision, I used it to make this orchestral version of the 'fakeguitaruke' piece from an earlier blog post!
I do really like the legato's of the choir.
28-05-2023
A cute little song, made while in vc with my best friend on discord so I say this song describes how much of a bean he is. (a lot!)
02-02-2023
Live improv using a nylon guitar in Sine, playing a song inspired by the African instrument 'kora'.
11-01-2023
Something veeeery different, I felt like making a house edm track? Of course with my 'cute' style, but I really like it.
I don't know if I'll ever write in this genre again, tho!
17-12-2022
I got some new instruments for my SINE player for Christmas! Solo celo and viola from the Solu library from Orchestral Tools. This is some live improv, sounds so good already!
12-07-2022
The cookie dough piece from my album but played by a latin instrumentation. All live layered improv.
26-06-2022
Another cute song? Also with a beat? What has the world come to.
I like the brass hits on the first count in this one!
23-05-2022
Cute short song, added a beat this time! I like the melody instrument, kinda like a harmonica?
19-05-2022
Medieval Folk inspired piece, could be an intro to a cute series! Again focussing on the solo snare drum.
Also using an accordion!

A cute silly song with synths and a recorder! I was thinking of a cat dancing, eheh.
05-03-2022
Another medieval dance piece, this time with a choir! The contrabass is way too loud in the mix, maybe will fix one day?
05-03-2022
Medieval dance piece with strings! Mix is bad currently.
24-02-2022
The melody of "Hella" again, this time in a more staccato piano, uke and small percussion instrumentation. I really like how the snare drum comes through!
20-01-2022
Something very different, a chill beat, trying out some audio effects. Also a reverby saxophone, so that means it's cool !
08-01-2022
A quick loop using the melody from "Hella" played by piano and strings. For me a practice demo for using Cinematic Studio Strings, I really like the sound of them!
19-12-2021
Trying out the AGML2 acoustic steel guitar plugin, live play on keyboard without editing the midi, sounds pretty cool already!
17-12-2021
A quick demo loop testing out chords + layering uke. Really happy with this one, I think it sounds great !
14-12-2021
Underjazz! A silly jazz improv piece based on the Undertale theme. All virtual instruments, just making by adding improv layers.
