Wowโฆ I canโt believe Iโm releasing my first original tune on YouTube. After a tough month, Iโm happy to start uploading music again! I was just so exhausted from online events the past few months, commissions, lessons, streaming, and making videos. It felt good to recharge a bit, but it was frustrating not being able to create music.
Iโve recorded original music on and off for the past year. Just solo piano stuff whenever I felt like it throughout the early stages of the pandemic. Iโve wanted to write original music the past few months, but itโs been tough. A lot of ideas were just not coming to fruition. Itโs something you canโt really force.
This idea came to me last week late at night. I only had a 25 key midi controller with me, and just recorded the first thing that came to my mind. I continued to just record pieces of it late at night since thatโs when I got ideas for it!
I wanted to keep it simple in terms of instrumentation since Iโm used to recording solo piano compositions. It felt fun to make up a melody and figure out what chords would work underneath, rather than trying to change the melody to fit diatonic chords. My goal was to write something that was soothing and shimmery kinda like staring up at the stars late at night. Really easy listening for late night music listening. Kinda explains the title Midnight Muse haha
I donโt really have much else to say about this composition. But Iโm super happy with it and proud to release my first original composition! Iโm sure Iโll get better at writing descriptions and inspiration for these!
There will still be covers on the channel, but I definitely wanna start writing and releasing more of my own stuff!
So please enjoy this #Original tune #MidnightMuse composed by me, #SabIrene

Here we are at the final video of 2023! Its definitely been a wild year for me and Im ready for next year!
This composition was actually one of the first originals I started writing back in 2021. I dont remember too well what my inspiration was for this track, but I remember the bass line being the first thing I wrote for this track. It felt like the driving force, which is how I landed with the title Perpetual Groove, very early on in the process.
After coming up with the main bass line, I got a bit stuck with this piece. I heard a specific chord comping pattern with the piano, but had this technical bass line that I wanted in the piano as well. So the piece was shelved for years, until a month ago.
I was going through folders on my computer, and was reminded of this composition in late November. And I felt inspired to pick it up again! I really wanted to push to finish it. As soon, as I opened the project file, I remembered exactly what I wanted to do with this piece, and was able to apply a lot of what I learned about composition in this piece.
The biggest challenge for this one was the mix for sure. Ive been away traveling for a lot of December and havent been doing too much mixing since October. I almost felt like I had to relearn how to mix. But ultimately, Im really happy with how it turned out! The 2 biggest things that really made this mix come together were having a mixing reference (Desire by Hiromi Uehara), and building the mix one instrument at a time. I started with the drums, then bass, saxes, flutes, and finally the piano. I made sure all the pieces fit together, making adjustments as I went with each new instrument added.
Happy to end this year with a bang (er)! And Im incredibly excited to share all the cool stuff happening in 2024! For now though, I hope you enjoy this original jazz composition, #PerpetualGroove done by me #SabIrene

Heres my video game vocal cover of Can You Feel the Sunshine from Sonic R featuring Sapphire! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
I AM SO EXCITED!
Sapphire and I have been talking about this collab for awhile. We got to finally meet at MAGFest this year and had so much fun! It made us even more excited for this project!
I wanted to keep things pretty close to the original arrangement, to an extent haha. I wanted to have it open really chill and relaxing before things got crazy. The original is so upbeat, but I tried playing it slow one day and really liked how it sounded.
One of the toughest challenges was the montuno piano part around the 4 minute mark. Its a specific type of rhythm and style that is a bit tough on the wrists at even slow tempos. There were a lot of fun challenges with that small section in terms of instruments, style, techniques, etc.
I cannot thank Sapphire enough for everything she did for the cover! She did an amazing job with the vocals, but also mixing this cover! She is such a wonderful person and musician to work with!

This has been one of my favorite projects this year! My good friend, TerribleTavi had mentioned commissioning me back in December when we were first met. At PAX East, we talked about it more and got started working on this right after PAX!
The goal was to create a chiptune track that made one feel like they were running through the night and about to take flight. There was a lot of new stuff for me to learn and channel in this! It was a different type of storytelling, but such a fun challenge!
I typically sketch everything in a voice memo app just singing and playing piano. And I just started working with chiptune sounds a few weeks before Tavi and I talked at PAX. It was so much fun to mess around with new sounds and see how it help shift my compositional style and approach!
Every time I sent Tavi a draft, I was super happy with the results and happy to keep pushing this track to the next level!
A huge thank you to Tavi for commissioning me and for editing the video! Hope you enjoy this original #chiptune composition, #TraversingTwilight done by me #SabIrene

Im so glad I finally got to film a video outside! Its been quite awhile!
I was definitely super inspired by the Floral Folklore album released in late May from Infloresce Records. I had listened to it a few days before I started writing this track myself. I loved the whole album being based around different flowers, mythology, and folk tales. It just spoke to so much of what I enjoy in music and try to channel in my own musical storytelling.
I sat down at my piano 5 minutes before I had to head out and recorded the initial idea for this track. And man was it a journey afterward haha. I really liked the form of the composition, however I could not figure out the instruments I wanted to use. Back in late May I was really exploring chiptune sounds, and wanted to work those into this track, but have piano be the focal point.
I sat on the tune for quite awhile after the first 2 weeks of working on it. And being outside surrounded by flowers, sparked my inspiration to finally finish it! I actually ended up filming the video before I finished adding all the parts in the composition itself. It ended up working out to push me to finish the composition to be able to share with you all!
Next month will probably be pretty quiet with a lot of personal things I gotta take care of, but know that Im still working hard and making music everyday!
Hope you enjoy this #digitalfusion track #CascadingPetals done by me, #SabIrene

Its been a bit! My goal every month is to try and write something working on a skill I feel needs improvement in my composition work. Its a nice way to keep learning and experimenting with new sounds and styles!
My goal with this tune was to play with an ostinato again, but also playing with a chord progression I really liked! I recently watched Dr. Stone, and loved it! The third openings chord progression stuck out to me and I wanted to play around with it myself and see what I could do with it.
I recently started messing with chiptune sounds and thought this was a great way to put it into practice!
I definitely wanted to do jazz fusion with a chiptune lead, kinda reminiscent of Steven Universe in a way! I really struggled with writing a melody for this one, and sent what I had to my friend ThunderScott and he came up with the first chiptune melody you hear in the piece! A huge thanks to him for helping me out!
I didnt have a specific context in mind in terms of the setting of the piece, so Im interested to know what you all heard! Let me know in the comments!

Let me start by telling you this was not the original cover scheduled for today. I moved things around after I put out Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There. Things have changed so much in the world in 2 weeks. I wanted to push up this cover given the state of the world right now, at least my perception.
Things have been difficult and sad, but there is hope. I really feel like City of Tears embodies those feelings and sentiments strongly. In the game you are traveling for awhile, before you arrive at this hub and start to learn more about your mission. It is such a beautiful tune, and I wanted to keep it simple. I wanted to craft the arrangement around the final section. Ive had that in my head for months, which inspired this cover. I couldnt find some taiko drum samples, so I did my best to replicate it through Middle Eastern drums I have, bass drums, and timpani!
This tune is very light and effervescent, so I wanted to keep minimal instrumentation. It helped to really highlight the colors and ranges of each instrument used. I originally wanted to use other woodwinds in this cover, but the color of the clarinet blended best with everything else I was using. But I really wanted the main focus to be vocals in this cover.
With everything happening, its important to raise voices. Whether it be your own or amplifying voices of others to inspire change.
Often, I struggle to find the words to express how I feel, and music helps me greatly. Music has always allowed me to process my emotions and channel them into my playing.
Things have not only been difficult in the world, but on a personal level for me. There is so much uncertainty, fear, and sadness in my own life. So to me, this cover was a beacon of light to better understand how Im feeling and understand that something will come. It is important that we never lose hope in life, no matter how tough things get. When we fear, we need to try and find hope and have that pull us out of our own darkness.
