We're finally here. It's been a long journey, but I have officially finished my first album. I'm so glad this is my first album because Chrono Trigger means the most to me. It quickly became my favorite video game and I knew I had to cover the music from it while playing through the game.
Corridors of Time is a very special track. It took me a long time to come up with the idea for the arrangement. I used to think the cover I did before was amazing, but I realized that it really wasn't. As I played through the game and listened to others versions, I realized that I gave it the wrong emotions.
I wanted to make this cover really special, so I included lyrics from the amazing Laura Shigihara and added some choir parts on top the saxophone melody. The arrangement sounded bare without the choir part, so I'm glad I added it. It was however, a massive challenge. My voice range is small so it really pushed me to get low and high notes, maintain pitch, and blend with the saxophones. And that's all before the mixing process.
I also changed the key for this one because I think it better captured the emotions I was going for. The track name for this is Suspicious Dreamscape, and I think that I achieved the emotions of that. Corridors of Time is a beautiful track, but there is something unsettling about the nature of the Kingdom of Zeal.
I hope you all enjoy my jazz saxophone and vocal cover of Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger composed by the amazing Yasunori Mitsuda.

I cant believe were already a quarter of the way through the year. Most of my plans for this year were thrown out the window a few weeks into the year, but its all good! Stuff happens, and we move on!
When I was trying to think of music for April, I thought about the phrase April showers brings May flowers. A pretty common expression Ive heard since I was a child. And so I thought about making a track inspired by the rain. I wanted to try doing some sound design with water and droplet sounds for the percussion, but it didnt quite work out. However, theres many ways to convey the feeling of rain!
After I tracked the main piano part, I thought about other elements that would feel like rain. I didnt want too many layers muddying this up. I wanted it to be a very clean sound.
I utilized transient shapers in this track a lot to give some softer sounds a harsher attack, which made them sound plucky like rain drops falling. I did a simple electric piano part on the offbeats, almost acting like a drone to emulate the pitter patter of rain, an idea I got after reading a comment on my Forest Feels video!
My favorite trick I pulled out for this one, was absolutely reverse sounds. Reversed instruments have such a unique texture that I always enjoy! So I took an electronic sound and reversed it. It reminded me of the moment before a raindrop hits the pavement and ripples.
The biggest challenge for me was the drums, honestly. I started with a loop, replaced it with samples, but it just didnt sit right with me. I felt a little stuck since the routing for my electronic drums is a bit messy compared to my acoustic routing with Superior Drummer 3. And then I remembered I could still use my acoustic kit and achieve the lo-fi sound I wanted through production! EQ and RC-20 were definitely my friends when mixing the drums for this one haha.
As for the video, I actually filmed with LOG settings for the first time! Its something Ive seen a lot of my friends do over the years and have always wanted to try. Ive had a camera with the capability for a few years now, but never knew how to change until recently. I think filming with the log settings gave me the perfect starting point for having a cloudy, grey look to represent rainy days.
And the rain particles helped too! I havent used these in City of Tears, and Ive definitely learned a lot more about particle placement and coloring since then. It was really nice to stretch my creative muscles with this one in most areas!
Hope you enjoy this chill, lo-fi track, Rain~

I definitely have a knack for coming up with titles right before I have to render out the final video haha.
This tune was definitely all about experimentation with different sounds and instruments I don’t work with. I found myself using a lot of the same type of sounds on compositions I’ve been working on for a personal project. And I really wanted to see what I could do with sounds I wasn’t as familiar with.
I definitely don’t do electronic stuff that much, so it was really fun to push and see how my composition style differed with writing lines compared to the more RnB and chiptune oriented tracks I do.
The real challenge was in the mixing since its so different from what I normally do. It was fun to play with textural elements more to really support and bolster the track!
I was really inspired by aivis newest album tiger & water when writing this track. I struggle a lot with drums in my music and hearing the drums in some of aivis tracks reminded me that drums dont have to be complicated to be effective.
Hope you enjoy this original #electronic composition #EtherealWave done by me, #sabirene

Im learning more often than not this year, my compositions happen on a complete whim. It used to be Id have a rough idea of what Id want to write a track for or Id go to the piano with the intention of composing. However, this track did not fall into either of those scenarios. I was actually on a phone call, turned on the piano, and played the first 2 measures of this track as a warm up for a practice session. And I just thought it sounded so cool, I hung up the phone call, and immediately recorded a voice memo with the rough structure of the tune.
The next day, I was back at the piano, and did a formal recording in my DAW. This tune was definitely inspired by aivi and surasshus album Meanwhile as Ive been listening to it the past few months. I had been using it as a reference for a client, but it was still in my head weeks after the fact! Wind Rider, the opening track was definitely a big inspiration for the instrumentation of this track.
I just love the feeling of running towards something exciting. After sketching the track, the title Chasing the Future just made sense. It really felt like it was capturing that kind of feeling. The future can often be scary and daunting, but it can also be really exhilarating to jump into the unknown! I wanted this composition to speak more to the ladder.
As for the video, this track is so piano heavy, I wanted to utilize the different keyboards I have available to me. It allowed me to get various angles and perspectives that I cant achieve with my primary piano. And after all the Noodles of a Game Dreamer videos, Ive been inspired to take my filming to another level. To be a lot more deliberate with how I frame and light shots and take the extra time to adjust between shots. The colored lights were a bit of a mixed bag for me on this one, but I think it helped capture that otherworldly place and feeling the future holds.
Hope you enjoy with original digital fusion track, Chasing the Future~

This has to be one of my favorite tracks Ive done this past year! I recently rewatched Carole and Tuesday for the first time in years, and was completely entranced by the first track that GGK performs called Milky Way. It just had this beautiful, immersive feeling about the vastness of space and the world as a whole.
After figuring out my opening chord progression, I recorded a really funky bass line, and started to see the whole vision for this track. I had a lot of fun doing the vocals for this one, both recording, and mixing. I utilized a lot of fun techniques to get fullness on the vocals and give that floaty feeling we get when we think of space. And more recently, Ive been trying to be better about playing saxophone more consistently and integrating in my work again. This felt like the perfect track to showcase the saxophone again. It was really fun to give it that 80s pop sax solo vibe with the reverb and delay and have it blend the sax with everything else in the track.
As for the video, I really wanted to capture the different colors we see with galaxies, auroras, and the planets. So I opted to use my colored lights for this track, but wanted to have multiple colors per shot, which I think worked really well!
Hope you enjoy my new spacey original track, Andromeda Mist~

You’ve heard of Persona vibes, but what about Animal Crossing vibes?
I’ve been watching SpyxFamily recently and REALLY enjoyed the music! As I was analyzing it, I learned about the Bird Blues Progression! I had definitely heard the progression a lot, but never knew the term for that specific progression!
I adapted the progression a bit, but used it as a framework for this tune. As I started recording parts, it reminded me a lot of music I’ve heard in Animal Crossing New Horizons and I ran with it!
I wanted to channel that charming, cute vibe into the composition keeping things nice and light! And I figured A Warm welcome was a great way to open this new year! I’m so excited for what this year holds!
I also got a new guitar VST during Black Friday and finally was able to mess around with and use it! Still a lot to learn, but nice to have a guitar in my library!
There’s a lot in the works for YouTube this year and I’m excited to share it!
As for now, I hope you enjoy this original composition, #AWarmWelcome done by me, #SabIrene

Heres my video game saxophone cover of Ganons Tower from the Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
This video has been long coming! I recorded this in the summer, but wanted to wait to share this one. I really enjoyed doing this cover!
It really pushed my piano abilities and how I interpret music. I dont have that much Zelda music on the channel, which is a shame because the music is so great! I have all the games on a list of games I need to play! Ocarina of Time is first on my list, mostly because I have a copy for the 3DS already. I got one a few years ago and tried playing it and failed lol. My main gaming experience was Pokémon so to be in a first person, real time fighting game scared me so much! Im excited to give it another try and hopefully play the whole game!
As for the arrangement, I heard this track and it stuck out to me because of the organ and harmonies. The quartal harmonies used in this piece are so cool and really give an open feeling despite how sinister the context is. The original track is super slow and repetitive, so I wanted to change that by making it upbeat and kind of latin inspired! That definitely helped me push my piano skills to get fast, even notes. I also decided it would be good to layer Zelda motives on top. It started by accident with me playing Song of Storms a bit distorted and then I decided to add a couple more. I even consulted my brother about some memorable motives from Zelda when I couldnt think of anymore!
I had so much fun transforming this track! I hope you enjoy this video game saxophone cover of Ganons Tower from Ocarina of Time!

As I continue to venture into harder hitting genres and style, I knew a metal track would be on the list. However, that felt like a massive jump for me right off the bat, so I thought about battle themes in RPGs and how they utilize a lot of rock and metal elements in terms of instrumentation and style. And Final Fantasy came to mind! I’ve never really had exposure to Final Fantasy until I was a bit older, and when I did, it was just the music. But man is the music amazing to listen to and analyze.
So I thought about what it would sound like if I wrote my own FF style battle theme? While FFXVI was just released the other day, my inspiration came more from FFV and FVII battle themes. I definitely pushed myself to utilize instruments, harmonic patterns, and progressions that I was a bit less familiar with, but had so much fun with it!
The drums were definitely a big challenge since I wanted to make sure my parts were playable for a drummer, especially at such a fast tempo with some busy drum fills. As I wrote the drums and bass parts, I found myself asking the question, How would Alex Moukala do this? Alex is absolutely incredible for reimagining Final Fantasy music and giving it his signature flair. So I thought about how to inject the Sab Irene flair in this composition. And I think the B section accurately represents what I’m known for with my music, but still keeping with the FF battle theme!
One thing that was super difficult in this track was the mixing. I’ve gained a lot of skills over the years, but mixing guitars is something I’m still pretty new to. A lot of instruments in this track play different roles, which requires a lot more attention to mix each part to best serve the composition as a whole.
Overall, this track brought a lot of new challenges, but I had so much fun learning how to tackle each of these problems. Hope you enjoy my #finalfantasy inspired final #vgm boss battle track This Is the End composed by me, #sabirene ~
