Birth of the Moonflower: Mizuki (みずき/瑞希), 17 July 2025

Today, I focused on refining and finalising one of the key arrangements for my project. The session naturally divided into two distinct phases: one before and one after a break, which provided a useful reset and allowed me to return with a clearer perspective.

To begin, I worked on creating the string arrangements using Studio Cello and Studio Strings. I added a modulator to both instruments in order to enhance the realism of the sound. This gave the strings a more expressive and lifelike quality, helping them sit more naturally within the mix.

Next, I concentrated on assembling the full arrangement. I tested several instrument combinations, including a few familiar sounds, before deciding which to keep. After a break, I returned with the intention of shaping a more story-driven version of the track. I removed some elements such as the organ and shimmering glass, and reworked the cello, strings, beat patterns, crystalline voices, and arpeggiated synths. I also changed the meter at the bridge outro from 2/4 to 6/8, which improved the rhythmic flow in that section. The aim was to create a gradual buildup that would feel both subtle and intentional, allowing elements like the syncopated hi-hats to appear more naturally during the second pre-chorus. This version eventually became the final arrangement.

I then turned my attention to the mix. I addressed some issues with clipping and used EQ and a limiter to tidy up the low end, particularly following feedback I had received on a previous post. I removed a digital chord arpeggio that was crowding the bass frequencies and replaced it with a layer called “Film Memories”, which occupied more of the higher spectrum. I also refined the vocal elements and adjusted the placement of ambient sounds so they would only appear where necessary, reducing any sense of overcrowding.

To keep everything organised, I colour-coded the track sections and reordered them by group, placing the less frequently used instruments lower down in the track list. After finalising the mix and arrangement, I prepared both the audio and visual components for upload.

Overall, the process involved two major creative shifts (one before and one after the break) and I found that taking time away between stages helped me make clearer decisions with each fresh listen. The resulting version feels more cohesive, with a stronger narrative arc and more balanced production.

While my first piece, Tsubaki, explored the process of letting go and finding strength through transformation, and my second piece, Hanae, reflected a quiet state of simply being, Mizuki marks a subtle but meaningful shift. The narrative follows the birth of a third neutron star, shaped like a moonflower: delicate yet resolute, emerging in the vastness of space. It represents realisation, clarity, and ownership. Mizuki is about realising that you are, and have always been, the author of your own life.

####### Side Note #######

The entire process took approximately eleven hours. The first phase focused on arrangement development and instrumentation, where I experimented with string layers and modulation to create an upbeat variation. After taking a break to reset, the second phase involved reshaping the piece with a clearer narrative flow, followed by detailed mixing, organisation, and final preparation for upload.

####### End of Side Note #######

Thank you so much for following along with my creative journey and supporting my music! I truly appreciate being able to share these pieces with you and hear your thoughts. Mizuki is a really special one, and I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me while making it. ^_^

Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer of Classical and Romantic music; he is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. Most famous for his nine symphonies, piano concertos, piano sonatas, and string quartets, Beethoven was a great innovator and very probably the most influential composer in the history of music.

Okay not to be dramatic

But why are they doing this?

I mean really, they just collaborated with Apple, got invited to the Queen Elizabeth competition, had a successful World Tour, TSA was doing great too, like, shit is not adding up here

And Twoset being Twoset, they'd never just, make a big change and not talk about it in a video or something

It's so unlike them to not provide us with any sort of explanation

I get it if they want to stop doing YouTube but why do they have to delete all their videos and posts?

Thats just heartbreaking

Now I appreciate people who have these videos saved but it's just not the same watching it somewhere else instead of their YouTube channel, you feel me?

But I guess it's better than nothing

All the nostalgic videos, gone

The charades, the roast vids, the educational vids, ling ling 40 hours vids, the osu vids, simply piano adds, movies / shows review, gone...

Im gonna cry

If you have the videos saved please message me with the link because damn I'm missing them so bad right now

Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is one of my favorite to perform. It has it all… lyricism, virtuosity, intensity, and depth.

Can you guess the famous pop song that was inspired by this work?

I’ll be performing this concerto next week in Chicago, then Rach 3 in October with Symphonicity. Check my website for tickets!

Béla Bartók

Béla Bartók (1881-1945) was an innovative Hungarian pianist and composer most famous for his classical works for piano and orchestra, string quartets, and songs, many of which present traditional Hungarian and other European folk themes. Bartók, a prodigious scholar and collector of folk songs, is widely considered one of the greatest musicians Hungary has ever produced.

Early Life

Béla Bartók was born on 25 March 1881 in Nagyszentmiklós (now called Sânnicolau Mare), then located in the Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (but today located in Romania). Béla's father was a teacher in the local agricultural college, and his mother was a piano teacher. Béla's father died when he was seven years old, and so mother and son moved to Pressburg (called Pozsony by the Hungarians), today's Bratislava in the Slovak Republic. Béla's mother taught him to play the piano from the age of five. He showed a rare talent and was already performing in public by the age of eleven; he had started composing his own pieces even earlier, at the age of nine.

Béla turned down a free scholarship to study at the music academy in Vienna and instead decided to attend the Royal Hungarian Academy of Music in Budapest from 1898. Bartók graduated in 1903. First earning a living as a concert pianist, from 1907, Bartók worked as a piano professor at the Academy. Although the post gave Bartók some financial stability, it was not quite what he had hoped for; he remarked that he was, in truth, "a reluctant teacher and would have preferred a research post" (Steen, 722). Bartók continued to compose, with early influences coming from the works of Franz Liszt (1811-1886), Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), Richard Strauss (1864-1949) – particularly his symphonic poem Also sprach Zarathustra –, and Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971).

Bartók's character and drive is here summarised by the music historian H. C. Schonberg:

Bartók was a tiny, frail man with explosive psychic force, prepared to go his own uncompromising way even if his music was never played. A stubborn integrity and an all-encompassing humanism animated the man, and he would not swerve from his ideal of truth.
