Dragon Train was composed during a time when I was still recovering from a depressive period of burnout that had essentially killed my creative drive for two months on end.
This was initially conceptualised in my head as my own take on a Falcom-style 90's era RPG boss theme with a prominent rhythmic drive, but initially I was paralysed by great trepidation and the idea that this might be way past what I was capable of.

And yet I was finally able to realise this with some motivation from friends and the DTM Central community, though it wasn't without its issues: midi hardware would struggle to synchronise correctly, I had to record parts during a heat wave, and some bugs in my DAW had suddenly messed with parameters of certain tracks without me knowing how to effectively fix them.

Still, I'm very happy with how this arrangement turned out and it was a great test drive for some of my custom drum kits, as well as some custom Roland XV patches I commissioned from a good friend.
I hope listeners will find some genuine joy in this, as it is most certainly a labour of love.

Gear used:
Roland SC-8850
Roland XV-5050 with patches from SRX-06 Complete Orchestra and custom synth leads from @studiostriver .
BOSS DR-660

Fujii kaze - Sunny[4-N163]

This song was the first song I wrote on WaveTracker (ver.1.0.1)

While it is a wavetable synthesis based tracker, it is also very feature-rich, with a wide range of effects, noise, and samples available
It is already a very cool tracker I think

Final Call at the Savoy is a 28 track journey through the golden age of jazz and blues—where big band glamour meets emotional grit. This album hums with velvet vocals, brassy flourishes, and the kind of storytelling born in smoky lounges and backstage corners.

Every note is wrapped in satin and soul: swing rhythms that strut with confidence, ballads that ache with honesty, and torch songs that leave a trace. Backed by lush horn sections, brushed drums, upright bass, and moody piano, the sound blends vintage elegance with fearless emotional depth.

It’s a tribute to bold hearts, quiet strength, and the poetry of a last dance—crafted for lovers of timeless jazz and blues with a cinematic soul.
