Featuring MASCHINE Expansion called "BYTE RIOT", 80s game console sounds for tip tune creator, this track " To the End of the Sky - Age of MSX2 mix" is my tribute to nostalgic RPGs in 80s, especially their ending themes. Imagine you're out of the dungeon or the castle of last boss, riding on the back of your partner Dragon, and are flying into the endless blue sky!

I know the drum track especially kicks are too much saturated so that you might find this a bit noisy. Hope you enjoy those sounds like trying to go beyond the limit of the poor hardware of the days.

Another version of my track "To the End of the Sky". More contemporary or at least 90s dance house music style than its original 80s game console sounds. The Expansion is the same, "BYTE RIOT", but some addition. Also I tweaked the mix of track volumes and the balance of each drum so that it sounds probably more bright, shining, and trancy. Hope you feel the sense of countdown party between the end of the year and the new year day.


This is my appreciation to the human civilization ;-)

Ok, it's time to count down!!

535 Cross Road - It's Long and Winding

Merry Christmas! or Happy Holidays! Whichever.

It's the day right before the sacred moment, and also from celestial point of view, it's the day of the turning. The Sun dies on 22nd but resurrects on 23rd!

Happy the day after Winter Solstice! And here is my tribute to the Sun, our several tradition of worship the celestial event, the beginning of it, and the Road which was exposed the strong light (and darkness) during its several thousands of years.

Fertile Crescent, Eastean Mediterranean, Aegean. Persia, Rome, and Arab. Jewish, Christian, Muslim and pagans. Wherever and whoever. We are alive thanks to the Sun.

Hope you enjoy the travel through the road and history with no prejudice.

Do not forget the history so that we won't repeat it.


The track is composed with MASCHINE Expansion: RISING CRESCENT. Hope you can feel the sense of Middle East, Greek, and Silk Road or Seidenstraße. Persian, Arabian, Aegean and more instruments here. Hip-Hop meets Crescent tones. Great expansion. Thanks.

534 Balalaika Decoded  v2.0

Please take a moment to compare this video to the previous version "Zodiac Maniac". The same photos, with the different tracks, texts, and visual effects. Which do you like?

While the first version is Hip-Hop style track (with my poor verbal..), this second version is composed as more electric, tech lounge style, chilling out sound. The drum track is simply composed of a sequence of 16 hit out of a kit, and the melody is heavily inspired the 80s song in japan.

Zodiac in the Summer, and the Zodiac in the Winter.

Hope you like both!

533 The Series of "Autumn Leaves Gone"

It was when I felt the calm of late Autumn in the city. The leaves were almost gone, people were walking down the illuminated street with some happiness and some nostalgia. The darkness of the evening came early. Wind blew. Still no rain but expected. It was the last days of Autumn 2017.

Right after that, I came back home, and made these tracks.

The sound samples here is SIERRA GROVE. It is ambient, jazzy, with natural breeze, lounge-style very best intelligent sound package ever.

The first edition was titled "- Cloudy Day", which was followed by the slightly tweaked edition named "- Rainy Day". The difference was the use of Replika XT, the super innovative delay effector which turned the track into the professional-like another version, with just inserting it, in just one second, literally. RXT brings the raindrop effect on the base sound of Cloudy and make it into Rainy.


The videos featured the "long long ago" or "once upon a time" scene of Autumn. It was probably 20,000-10,000 years ago. The leaves had almost gone. The food sources were hardly found. Men came back home from hunting with no bringing. The granma and mom just gazed at dad... "Dad. Are you serious? Do you know the winter is coming soon!"

The last edition "- Windy Day", is also titled "Autumn Leaves Gone" but this may sound completely different. But if you listen to it carefully, I mean just in case if you have a plenty of time to waste.., you'll find the the drum tracks and bass are the same as the proceeding two.

To tell the truth, this is an arrangement of patterns which were originally intended to be the part of  "Cloudy" and "Rainy" but later abandoned because of unmatched feel. This "Windy" sounds more tech, electronic compared to ambient type of predecessors. Hope you feel the versatility of SIERRA GROVE.

In this MV, music lovers of playmobil gather.

Just to excuse me. I took these photos before I started making tracks. That's why headphones are Beats's bluetooth and Pioneer DJ headphone. Still I love both but my current favorite is Audio Technica's ATH-50mx. Super great monitor headphone!


BTW, you may know it. The title Autumn Leaves Gone is my tribute to the very famous anthem of vintage jazz. I love it.
