Afternoon Stroll - Flute & Strings

[@chobies5383]

ORIGINAL PIECE ALERT 🚨🚨🚨He hasn't done one in a year with Outer Fields. These song titles and songs themselves seem like they're straight out of an indie game or some shit. Definitely an adventure game feel but yet therapeutic. Sounds like a humble medieval town or a song from a Ghibli movie or Nintendo game. Outer Fields gives a desert feel, it sounds epic yet melancholic. It could be a song near the beginning of the game or an endgame song.

[@c0mpu73rguy]

I don't really hear a game music to be honest. To me it's a music that could go well in an animated film (a Ghibli movie like you said even if even there, it doesn't really sounds like Joe Hisaishi's style of music). It's gonna sound weird but when I close my eyes, I see that park at the beginning of Disney's Alice in Wonderland, with people enjoying the day in the grass. I don't know why that specific park but that's literally the first thing that came to my mind when I first listened to this song.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha thank you fr 🙏

[@DoodleWorks22]

Huh... I didn't know he could write original music, i thought he could only play that lick 😂

[@Ciel-estoile]

Для меня это звучит больше как лес, чем как пустыня. Слишком умиротворённо, да и в целом высокие звуки, будто бежит ручей и щебечут птицы.

[@EndYouTubeShorts_]

Outer Fields is already a year old?

[@senatormariusstreicher]

Telling a story without a single thing but music is the purest mark of instrumental genius.

[@abrupta]

And not even lyrics! Just instrumental, even more impressive

[@mr_moss205]

I believe the word you are looking for is "artist"

[@ProbablyBacon]

At first I was like “oh cool what video game is this from,” but he *composed it himself???* That’s so awesome, dude! Keep it up!

[@ShebbaYoung]

you can tell luke is kind of a music scientist and im amazed at how talented he is with so many instruments.

[@apollo4295]

This is absolutely wonderful, it reminds me of classic RPGs somehow. If you told me this was an official Square Enix reorchestration, I wouldn't even question it!

[@GG17x]

I don't speak English, but I feel the need to thank you, your videos and covers inspired me to study music, the best decision I have ever made, thank you for inspiring me and many others

[@InstrumentManiac]

This makes me very happy to hear!

[@JohnnyMcJim]

The harp is such a calming instrument, frfr. I don't think I've heard harp music that could be considered fast-paced.

[@ShebbaYoung]

the fastest i can think of is "zelda: ocarina of time - Fairy Fountain". but even that is kinda calming. string instruments are just nice.

[@sebastello1258]

Actually, you can find some fast-paced harp music in some south-american countries, it´s quite interesting...

[@OrcaThoughts]

This is giving “meeting the love interest for the first time while strolling” vibes

[@falconinferno2517]

If the sound was compressed slightly, I could definitely see this being in a harvest game. Quite beautiful.

[@arandomgamer2417]

It shows your genius when you invoke emotions with no lyrics. There's no context, no words, no explicit information yet I think I speak for all of us when I say I can TASTE everything about this piece. You are the one man army of music on media, and I have nothing but respect for you and your music. Great job, I look forward to your next piece, whether it be cover or original I know it will be great.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you I'm glad it all came through in the music 🎵

[@quepassacarabassa]

is this the wholesomest music channel ever?

[@Raxerm]

We can see the fields of barley sway, glimmering golden and unapologetically, basking in the brilliant and warm rays of the sun as we stroll down the light brown dirt path haphazardly framed with moss-covered stacks of stones placed long ago by the hard-working folk who first laid the foundation for this quiet land we now get to enjoy.

[@tonyperez2703]

So peaceful, so mellow! My depression doesn't stand a chance Thank you :)

[@InstrumentManiac]

[@claremccluggage4267]

@@InstrumentManiacwhen did you compose afternoon stroll?

[@jm2039yt]

this guy has inspired me to try all the instruments, and now I am playing 5 instruments, the saxophone, piano, guitar, harmonica, and trumpet. This song is awesome though, it's such a nice calming tune

[@Scarfcookies]

Man, I've been listening to Outer Fields for quite some time. I associate the song with my final months with my dog before he passed in January The brigthness of this song fills me with joy and i remember taking my little old man to the park for walks. keep doing what you doing.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻 glad this one can bring you some peace ✨

[@TheT3Engine]

WE MAKIN IT TO THE MIDWEST CLINIC WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sambelling7809]

Hope all is well with you too. Great job on the original piece! I can hear the Studio Ghibli influence coming through. The tempo was a good choice, it feels like you're taking that stroll through the fields, through a countryside village... But keep on keeping on!

[@antoniodelarosa761]

This sounds like a very calm walk on a big calid field

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

Damn, you should do more original pieces. This one sounds really good!

[@ariamelody5560]

This makes me want to get up and dance a lovely waltz :3

[@Cheese_lover_official]

Damn and that's when youtube decided to stop notifications on the channel 😭 This is amazing!

[@WishfulWind]

Luke, you do a lot of covers that have so many moving parts. Make sure you take a break! You need rest if you're getting burnout. And, if you are worried about the channel if you take a break, post something else! You could talk about your instruments, what you have planned, or whatever you enjoy outside of instruments! Burnout can really hurt people and their passions, so give it a break and let it relight itself. Thank you for all your covers!!

[@bastardferret869]

It's actually been a perfect summer day where I live here in the US. It felt very much like this piece. Seems bookended by a lot of rain, but today was just breezy and warm. Great composition, Luke.

[@Ytshortssocorny]

CMON LUKE U CANT RUN FROM THE WORLD REVOLVING FOREVER

[@eskimo2258]

Really beautiful and calming. Reminded me of when i was a kid walking through the forest ❤

[@Biboo_o]

i cant imagine how motivating it is for him that all his fans love his work soo muchh that it only takes him to upload a video and get a comment section full of love

[@MoisesNieto]

Such a beautiful composition and performance 🥺🩵✨

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you Moises ☺️❤️

[@xxdevil_dragon96xx10]

I honestly really love his music covers. He plays everything so well and you can feel his passion. Hope to meet him one day

[@nymalous3428]

Clicked because it was that guy who sometimes remakes video game music... stayed for the calm. I've had a really stressful week, and this is helping to melt some of that away. Thanks so much!

[@MemoristCed]

This piece moves forward purposefully without stalling or dawdling, but not in any kind of hurry...just like the best sort of afternoon walk.

[@Dori-hagi]

I must say, you absolutely nailed the feel of the song. I was actually shoked by the accruacy when you described what you were going for in the end

[@_ImLeox_]

i don't have words. This piece sounds calm and beautiful and it makes me think about these toughtless days of summer. As i also play the flute, you're my idol. Compliments Luke!❤️❤️

[@kaydencebeal2899]

As flute is my first instrument, I appreciate the use of it in many of his videos. Most flute music, from what I've seen, is hard and very much made for just making the song flow while his music gives flutes more purpose and makes me want to practice my flute more. Love you Luke 💗💗💗

[@vintageskies]

THE VIBES OF THIS SONG ARE SO IMMACULATE!! A perfect peaceful stroll in a flower field nearing the end of spring with your best friend, exactly what came to mind when listening! ❤

[@nhoj1582]

I'm blown away by the fact that this is an original piece and not a preexisting song from a video game or something. it sounds so professional and amazing.

[@bblir]

Keep the originals coming! They're fresh and definitely not outliers in quality and v i b e s!

[@StaticMind2824]

Every RPG forest area, they always the best

[@MockStrad]

I wish I still did recitals! I'd love to perform this piece, it's lovely. I might just get the comps to play for fun. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece.

[@bigbadcuff]

Beautiful composition, I think you nailed what you were aiming to achieve. Definitely reminds me of a beautiful calm scene from a movie or from the background of a sandbox game

[@ZiriO]

Now mind you I'm a chronic gamer and think too much about game or animation design, but this definitely feels like something you'd hear in a game with a studio Ghibli cottage vibe, or the peaceful little farming community, the lighthearted moment between or at the beginning of a grand adventure. It's so beautiful and charming, I fell in love with it immediately. Now I'm wanting to design the sort of scenery you'd hear this in 🤣

[@GalaxyIsAsh]

You somehow completely nailed the vibe of a stroll in a park early in the morning. I picture the sun shining through the trees as you walk through the shady trail. Everything is quite and peaceful. Very pretty and really beautiful loved it. Would actually love to see more original compositions.

[@Logan_strickland]

For the spring concert next year, I’m going to be performing midnight oil on my Alto flute that I’m getting for my birthday in a few days

[@momoru]

This was so beautiful and very well arranged Luke, great job with this composition!

[@taylorhopkins8980]

i love his guy's music so much, cover or original---it's lovely to hear, and the way the music rings is so pleasant. however, i must admit: my favorite part of his VIDEOS is absolutely watching his eyebrows go up and down

[@-LiterallyEverything-]

this sounds so good! i really want to learn as many instruments as him!

[@Soundole]

Gorgeous! Your original writing never disappoints!

[@InstrumentManiac]

You're always so kind thank you Peter 😭♥

[@hanneyjo1]

I love that you offer the music to the public to help others on their musical journeys! I've enjoyed every song I've heard on your channel. Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@that0nedegenerate]

This is beautiful, it feels like skipping through a slightly magical forest, next to peaceful farmland, on a warm early summer day. No worries, no fears, just greenery, butterflies, moss, and flowers. Thank you for making this song, it has touched my heart.

[@silvergh4965]

Love your original pieces, its crazy to think how long it's been since you last made one. I've started piano lessons again thanks to seeing you play so thank you! have a great day.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you and good luck with piano!

[@thatwaterriver3824]

woah i really loved how you composed it, the unique time signature with the flute doing that repeated rhythm for a while is really effective and nice please do more originals if youd like!!

[@pup64hcp]

I'd use this as my alarm; it's so calming

[@xsparrow5175]

you're inevitibly going to hate any song set as an alarm, u sure?

[@n4d-67]

If you are going to use this as an alarm, then make sure it's soft and not just blasting at full volume. because it's the literal first thing you hear when you wake up, if you suddenly get a loud noise, then it doesn't matter if the noise itself is calming, you will hate it. for that reason, try gradually increasing the volume from 0 to whatever your volume for your alarm is, it will work wonders, and now you will no longer hate your alarm 😊 (or at least not hate it as much) (oh and pro tip: turn off the vibration, that's the same as blasting your alarm at full volume)

[@BonaparteBardithion]

​@@xsparrow5175 If it's a day off alarm it's a relaxing welcome to the morning. Just chill for a bit listening. I wouldn't use this for a work day because I would both grow to resent it and fall back to sleep to it.

[@samuraizach516able]

I can't not smile while listening to this. What a wonderful piece ☺️☺️

[@Skid834]

I would definitely use this😊😊

[@florentdemeyere4779]

I'm obsessed with this piece. It single-handedly made me crave for buying a harp

[@tailsfan8666]

Gonna have a great start in a new MMO with my friends to this composition Luke, you are the best!

[@Civol]

I really love this one Luke!

[@SillyMoss25]

I find really impressive how he can master all these instruments without encountering any problem unlike me who's unable to blow a single note on the clarinet, like man you're so great and i'm so glad i came across your channel!

[@sadcena7204]

Wonderful composition. Reminds me of playing rpgs as a kid. It was really nice to hear this while sitting in my garden

[@JamieCracker]

I need more of your original compositions in my life PLEASE

[@francoiscouturier2405]

Oh my god Luke, c'est une très belle composition originale! Bravo, j'ai toujours du plaisir à écouter tes vidéos et je suis époustouflé par ton talent musical! Bravo!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Merci beaucoup!

[@kenzieprice6745]

That was gorgeous and hit harder than any of your covers have to me. Awesome to see you rip on the flute like this too. Hope to see more originals like this man!

[@ClassicalCovers]

I could easily see this in a game. My favorite games and soundtracks are JRPGs and this would totally fit right in

[@harro5541]

love this piece Luke a nice calm and relaxing vibe ! look forward to seeing more original tunes you think of!

[@BeccaMichaelson]

Thanks for the lovely promenade music! The harp part is so dreamy and I love the Beeg Floot!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you Becca 🥹🙏❤️

[@homeofcreation]

Yet another great performance. The tone on the flutes is superb. The other instruments very nice as well.

[@jamesmendonca2900]

This sounds so elegant. The moment you started plucking the harp, I knew I was going to love it. You really know how to make music that soothes the soul.

[@robertmorgan5979]

I felt like I was in a Zelda game with this song playing! I love it 😭❤️

[@bruhmoment9429]

You dont miss man please never stop your music brings joy to me i listen to it everyday on the drive to work

[@louloudezo5341]

A very pleasant and beautifull piece! love the harp and flute duo :D

[@pogchm339]

Good song dude!!! More people gotta check out your original songs, they're just as good as all the other video game music covers!

[@Normaltype_]

This is a very nice original piece

[@Astor_V]

Once again, Luke, you deliver with a wonderful piece ❤ Putting my headphones on and going for a stroll is one of my favorite things to do when I just want some nice time to chill for a bit, and this song will now join my strolling Playlist! And with the music sheets, I hope I can learn to play it with my girlfriend (cello + violin) 😊

[@InstrumentManiac]

Yesss that would be a great duet idea!

[@tierradecampanas]

Absolutly amazing!! This music is very relaxing and so nice to listen. I don't know a lot of music but i like it by the way Keep doing things in relation to the music, it's beautiful!!

[@minemixdf9200]

i need a full album of your music

[@RebeccaETripp]

Your compositions always feel so kind and free. I love this a lot!

[@ellielewis3185]

🤌🤌 this is beautiful, everything from the composing to the instruments to the video editing

[@bennguyen3184]

AN ORIGINAL? BY THIS LEGEND? I MUST BE DREAMING. Well, time to learn this one along with dimensions and outerfields in my cello! And by learning it i mean make up my own crap.

[@worldeater9816]

I love you're style and how you almost move around the music with your tone. It's hard to describe but the texture of the music flows and it's beautiful. I also make pieces for performance, but my stuff is usually a bit more concert band-y, though I love to write softer things as well. I would love to have someone like you preform pieces I make. I would love to write something similar to this because listening to this makes me want more, haha. You're style would be perfect for some projects I've been working on as well. I am not incredibly experienced as a composer, only doing it for about 2ish years now, but listening to this only makes me want to continue. Thanks for the motivation

[@TopatTom]

Every piece is equally as EAR BLESSING man, 😖

[@sadcena7204]

I have to say this again! I just love this piece! i keep coming back to it. its just so serene. Please make more original pieces from time to time!

[@xyloiscool]

this guy is WAY TOO UNDERRATED

[@nullbyt]

Very enjoyable. Hope to see more original works in the future. You're right it definitely has a sunny peaceful afternoon feel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts at the end. I appreciate the insight.

[@neikowilburn4078]

Hello InstrumentManiac. I have to say this is quite a relaxing tune, man. This is very accurate to a afternoon scroll in a quiet, beautiful, rural area or for countryside scenery. Amazing job once again! 😊😊🌄🌄💭💭🏘️🏘️

[@MarimbaMatt913]

Luke this is beautiful! The orchestration accompanies the flute so well. I’ll be sure to play this on my road trips from here on out!

[@MarcoPolo-xu9te]

Wonderful piece of art! Thank you so much!

[@zenithperigee7442]

@InstrumentManiac, Luke I enjoyed that arrangement and the imagery! I was thinking about scenes from the "Hobbit Town" in "Fellowship of the Ring".... I liked the "Concerning Hobbits" piece in that movie and the beautiful green hills of vegetation against a beautiful blue sky full of clouds with the Sun blazing through.... I am listening to music of some kind most of the time and have it with me near all of the time when I'm outside. There are a couple of parks close to me, "Afternoon Stroll" would be a nice piece to listen to _quietly_ whilst as you suggested, spending time with a friend. ^_^

[@Kahtisemo]

What a beautiful piece! Very nicely done. And it's so soothing, I bet it would fit well in any Relaxation playlist ❤

[@dcallan812]

beutiful, so well performed and recorded. 2x👍

[@chuliann]

That's a very beautiful and soft song, I could fall asleep to it.

[@KairuHakubi]

whoa!!! Amazing, dude. I'm always ready to be bored by the original compositions of a cover artist, but this is not just incredible, it rivals the JRPG soundtrack classics.

[@seaborgium919]

this song feels like an emotional goal

[@FunkyN7]

Amazing...especially being your own composition. I hope there is more to come. We're lucky to have you! 😀

[@roskagib1562]

Sounds great, totally would fit in a Square game!!! Love your work!!!

I get very RPG Walking through the starting Village vibes, or maybe the first Forest you enter to rescue your sister from Monsters.

I can feel the world revolving cover coming... After all, we cant hide for ever can we?

[@LuciferAether]

This is so fucking good holy cow.
