A cover of Coldplay's Postcards from Far Away

My first recording using Garritan CFX Concert Grand. I prefer Addictive Keys

Mirage

Mistleaf

The theme song I created for a medieval fantasy story.

This is the first song I've created with Reaper and also my first time using Nucleus.

Rosewood

From the game "Beyond: Two Souls"

This song and its haunting theme followed me around carefully for days. It took ceaseless residence in my mind and even kept me up at night.

This holds so true to the content of the game, which is about a girl who was born with her soul connected to an otherworldly spirit. Haunted by this entity at first, the two tethered souls eventually come to form a meaningful relationship.

It was fun to finally get to try out the orchestral strings synthesizer that I have. I've been meaning to set it up for ages, and this song being stuck in my head was a good opportunity to do so =)

Beyond

Just something I improvised and decided to save

Stress

I made this while waiting to receive a callback from a coworker. I tried to spend as little time on it as possible because I'm lazy.

Never Done

The tale of a man who dreams of traveling to far away places

A Dreamer, A Traveler

This is a cover of a beautiful music box song from the anime Cowboy Bebop.

I've learned this song several times because I keep on forgetting how to play it. I decided to record it before I forgot it again.

Yes, I notice the irony of continuously forgetting a song called Memory. It's pretty funny to think about it that way, but I also think of it as me trying to chase after this memory.

It's been over 5 years since I did a cover with this level of detail. That's ridiculous. Enough is enough!

I have loved this song for years and it commonly gets stuck in my head, and that's the main factor that decides which songs I really want to cover. I really felt like I messed up with the vocals on this one, but I've spent enough time on it by now. I wanted to have it finished by Valentine's Day, but at least I wasn't off by that much!

Edit 11/7/2019: Rerecorded some vocals

I Love You - Woodkid Cover

This is a cover of a song from Coldplay's album Everyday Life. It was the first song I'd listened to on the album, and it sort of connected with me in a time where I found myself really relying on my old friends.

As always, all the instrumentation is arranged and recorded by me. I wish I was good at mixing, but I don't think I have the time to bother anyway.

Welcome to Vostok Station! This is where I post the results of my experiments with musical software such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, and Ohm Studio. Everything I post here is created from scratch, some learned by ear and others of my own composition. Thanks for listening!
