532 Lost Tribe - The Age of The Beasts v2.1



Does anybody remember my long posts in Sep 2015? It was "The Age of The Beasts", which was featured the fictional history based on the so-called northern crusades in the later middle age?

Teutonic Orders, Livonian Brothers of the Swords, and the lost tribe, Old Prussians. And a Wolf. It is definitely a fiction but based on what happened there in some senses.

This video, my first trial of theatrical track with dramatic sound samples, is one of my best favorite out of my 2017 works.

The monochrome old-style film at the beginning with the tribal drum struck is followed by the melancholic sound with laughing and whispering vocal samples with the sepia-like film. Again, the mood changes. With tribal drums again. And it goes on to the finale with some oriental sound, which is inspired by the tensed scene of Kabuki.


The tracks are made with both NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and Soundiron packages. while NI brings drum kits and part instruments, what Soundiron brings here are Apocalypse Percussion Micro, which is a beginners set of sampled acoustic drums around world especially eastern Mediterranean regions, and Voice of Gaia, which is a compilation of voices of four male and female vocalists, which is very mythical as to its name, but no so religious. To tell the truth, the other chorus sets sound very christian style, but this pack is more pagan tense. You fan feel the sacred power of the Earth but there is no God there. More like spiritual. That's why I chose this package for this movie.

531 Shape of Who v1.1


He is back again!

But who is he? Is it.. a shape of who?


Based on my post in Feb 2016, titled "BOTACL'S TRADING POST", the world of Dungeons and Dragons, Wizardry, Record of Lodoss War, has become alive again! See the heroes are back! The trading post is open again.

The story is: A gladiator who is to be a new king of his own realm in the wilderness island in the south exchanges his friendship with a merchant who runs a trading post for adventurers. But not only to the king-wannabe, many legendary figures visit the shop. It is the crossing of ages and universes.


The rhythm and the keys/codes are based on the very famous 2017 chart song. To tell the truth, it is "Shape of You". Do you detect it? :-) Just an inspiration.




530 Black Daydream v2.0


This is the Black Daydream of young and famous pirate kid.

It's Rico. Rico of the Playmobil Fun Park!


Based on the post in June, 2016, which was called "Daydream Believer", mixed the photos and the newly edited track, "Black Daydream".

Young Rico, napping at the edge of the ship while fishing sardines, dived into the daydream in which he was trying to be the Pirate King by excavating the ruins of legendary Pirate Emperor called Philistiss Phoenixianous- You may know its name is from two legendary maritime tribes in the ancient world.

This track was originally edited as BPM 120 song, but later, Gene changed my mind and made it faster. The piano track uses Marverick of KOMPLETE. I love the vintage sound!
