Here's my Ghibli inspired video
Here's my Ghibli inspired video game orchestral composition Tale of Time! I'm Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!

I think this is the fastest I have ever had to produce a song for YouTube in my entire career. I didn’t really have any ideas or inspiration to write anything new these past few weeks. I was mostly working on some long term projects and revisiting old projects to try some new plug-ins I bought recently.
Then on Thursday (72 hours before the video was supposed to come out), I finally got an idea. I’ve been trying to resume daily practice on piano and saxophone since it’s been a few years. More recently, I’ve been dedicating time to production, which has definitely paid off! But I want to keep pushing on my instruments as well and honing my craft as a performer. Part of that includes weekly sight reading, which has been from my giant Ghibli songbook. As I’ve been listening and practicing the music of Joe Hisaishi, I realized I’ve never tried to write my own version of music you would hear in the overture of a Ghibli film.
This past week I learned the opening to Nausicaä, Valley of the Wind and really enjoyed it! (Which I still need to watch). There’s this melancholy to the track, but it’s still so grand! I also pulled out One’s Summer Day as it’s one of my favorite Ghibli tracks. I was reminded of how much Joe Hisashi uses quartal harmony in his work and suddenly got an idea I love using quartal harmony in my own compositions as well, and opened with that.
I had to act pretty quickly as I had 72 hours to compose, record, produce, film, edit, mix, and master a track to be up to my standards. And it was a challenge…
After recording the piano structure, I was writing and recording on the fly. Figuring out what instruments I wanted, where, and what I wanted them to play. I knew I wanted a wooden flute sound in the repeat of the main theme and dug up an old recorder and doubled it with flute. I would have loved to include saxophone in this, but I went for a more traditional orchestra ensemble with flutes, clarinets, and trumpets. I hadn’t played my trumpet in years, but it was so much fun to integrate into this track I couldn’t pass it up.
Two of the biggest challenges for me with this track was making sure everything had its own space and sounding like it was in the same space. As well as strings. I’ve never had a great string library and I’m currently trying to swap the one I use since it’s really janky and just not what I’m looking for. The audio kept cutting out the string samples during render, but I couldn’t just get rid of the part. The strings add a lot of depth and texture to this track. So in the hours before release, I was trying any string sample I had, but there were problems with all of them.
Aside from those challenges and the time constraint, I really like the composition and hopefully I can revisit it when I have more time! I’d love to arrange this for a full orchestra ensemble and see what it would sound like with live musicians! And polish up the mix even more.
Hope you enjoy this Ghibli-inspired original Tale of Time~
