This is the first part of a short form series in which I outline a process for creating music in Ableton Live. The objective of the series is to offer simple ideas that can serve as a kind of template for developing your own musical ideas.
Part one explores creating the foundations of a Lo-Fi Hip Hop beat. First we find a chord progression, then use it to develop a melodic idea on an electric piano. Next we add a drum loop, and record a bass line.

![Reminiscence [Final Fantasy V Instrumental Cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4DWqXJ1vcvo/mqdefault.jpg "Reminiscence [Final Fantasy V Instrumental Cover]
The Final Fantasy series has always been my favorite video game series of all time - however, last summer I realized that I had never played Final Fantasy V. I decided I would jump into it and make a cover album once I got a feel for the characters and story. The result was 10 tracks of jammy, instrumental, video game covers. When I began playing with the pieces, I found that many of them left quite a lot of space for musical exploration, so the direction I took was to try to incorporate all the familiar elements of the Final Fantasy sound world we all know and love, but put them in a new sonic landscape.
This album is also important for me because it is the first full length album that I created entirely by myself, and is my first attempt at engineering/producing. Ill be posting a few tracks here on YouTube each week until theres none left, then maybe posting on the streaming platforms after that.

![Final Fantasy I: Main Theme [Synth Cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/58mMbYZy4rE/mqdefault.jpg "Final Fantasy I: Main Theme [Synth Cover]
This is a cover of Nobuo Uematsus Main Theme from the original Final Fantasy game for the NES. It was recorded with a Korg DS-8 synthesizer. The Korg DS-8 has an interesting story...
In the 1970s Yamaha began developing a type of synthesis known as Frequency Modulation (or FM for short). They released the GS-1, and later the more famous DX-7 in the early 1980s which made use of the new technology. Since Yamaha held the patent for FM synthesis, Korg had to license it from them to develop the DS-8, which was released in 1987. The DS-8 is sort of a stripped down version of the DX-7, but has its own character and charm. Since Final Fantasy was released in 1987 in Japan, I thought it would be fitting to record this classic piece of music with an actual DS-8.

I spent many hours waking up before dawn and playing Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for hours before school back in the early 90s. The game itself is a bit of an after thought for most people, but it offered some really great music - so here is my Lo-Fi Hip Hop arrangement of Mystic Ballad.

Triumphant, regal, and majestic. This Invention is a wonderful exploration into the moods of the key of A Major and features some nice cross-rhythmic phrasing - one of my favorite devices which Bach frequently used.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[b] is a role-playing video game developed by Square and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1996.[c] It was the final Mario game published for the SNES. The game was directed by Chihiro Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa, produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, and scored by Yoko Shimomura.
Super Mario RPGs story focuses on Mario and his friends as they seek to defeat the Smithy Gang, who has crashed into their world and scattered the seven star pieces of Star Road. Super Mario RPG is the first RPG in the Mario franchise, drawing from major elements of Squares RPG franchises such as Final Fantasy. The main form of fighting enemies is turn-based combat with a party of up to three characters. It is also the first game in the Mario franchise to have gameplay within an isometric 3D environment, allowing for a new variety of the exploration and platforming elements reminiscent of the Super Mario series.
Super Mario RPG was critically acclaimed, and particularly praised for its humor and 3D-rendered graphics. It was the inspiration for Nintendos other role-playing series, Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, and both are spiritual successors which retain some gameplay elements. Super Mario RPG was released on the Wii Virtual Console service in 2008, marking its debut in Europe and Australia, and later for the Wii Us Virtual Console in 2015. It was also included with the Super NES Classic Edition in 2017. A remake for the Nintendo Switch is set to be released on November 17, 2023.
