How I made this ANIME CINEMATIC INDIE track

Some friends told me this sounded like anime and Studio Ghibli music (which I both love) but I write music for indie films- hence this track. It could use a lot more work, but I wrote it quickly for fun and like the idea enough to share it as it is! Trying to document my journey through long form content now haha :D

This is so cool to watch, really interesting to see how all of the different instruments work together to create the chords, from a music producers POV this is super fascinating! New sub gained :)

[@cheska_yo]

Thanks man! I honestly get really inspired by how music producers work layering things haha- we can all inspire each other :)

[@kaiyo_lofi]

@@cheska_yo love that! I actually started learning production because I was interested in film scoring like this but ended up sticking to producing haha! Super cool to see your process

[@jonremimuziq]

Really dope tune!! And I've gotta agree with that last bit, Violas are heavily slept on but they play so beautifully.

[@cheska_yo]

Yup!! violas are awesome

[@mon_nobi]

I really enjoyed this! If I can make a comparison, the final score reminded me of the kind of compositions Ennio Morricone would make. So good!

[@cheska_yo]

Thank you for such a nice comment! I actually love the ukulele orchestra version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and that inspired me to include ukulele in my work more. Really cool that you seem to notice the influence haha

Thank you for this video, I am your new follower!

[@cheska_yo]

Of course, I'm honored to be one of the channels you follow!

[@Purisen.]

Inspiring piece! The harmonization/layers really pull through, something I’m struggling with my self so this was very insightful. Cool post!

[@cheska_yo]

Hey thank you so much! 🥺 Singing the harmonies outloud (as best as I can haha) before recording them in helps me a lot. Definitely gonna make more scoring vlogs like these!

[@premghuletony9932]

Really Amazing and helpful... ❤

[@cheska_yo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@martadymek]

that wind spooked me too, tbh. awesome video! i love that your celeste and glockenspiel are in a SPARKLES bus.

[@cheska_yo]

haha thank you!! the SPARKLES bus sounds like my kind of bus 😂

@@cheska_yo You're welcome!

[@wishyucould]

good stuff! Keep it up.

[@cheska_yo]

[@Shepard7]

Very nice piece! At last someone who colors their tracks almost exactly the same colors as mine. Continue to make awesome pieces, subscribed.

[@cheska_yo]

My only rule for coloring is don't use brown haha 😂 Thank you for compliment! More pieces on the way!🤩

[@Ak.studio58]

Just beautiful good video

[@cheska_yo]

Thank you!!

[@josephlindsey3062]

This was lovely! I appreciate the walkthrough of each section. One thought for future videos: when doing the full playback it would be nice to experience it without any voiceover, the music deserves it!

[@cheska_yo]

Thank you! Definitely will do that next time. I'm used to editing short form content more so I guess I rushed things trying to cater to short attention spans haha 😅

[@gabkiu]

so so good ;v;

[@cheska_yo]

ahhh thank you!!

[@cheska_yo]

wait I love the casualness of your music videos, subscribed 😂
