Producer Thursday: takamatt

takamatt is a fairly new Vocaloid producer, having started uploading songs only last October 2009. He has released seven songs in all, the most popular of them, probably the one looping in your player right now: Just A Game (okay, my player, my bad XD). He initially used Miku in his uploads, although he has branched out to using Append, GUMI and Kaai Yuki in his works.

takamatt's style is mostly but not limited to catchy pop. Most of his songs have discreet repetitive beats that make them very loopable. He does both ballads and upbeat songs well, with the ballads usually accompanied by strings. Aside from being super catchy, his works are "singable", meaning they sound very nice when sung by people. It could be because of the pop factor :). His Vocaloids, while not impeccably tuned, sound nice with his melody. His Miku is tuned high to the point of straining, while his Gumi is tuned from medium to impossibly low. Despite that, none of them sound hard on the ears. They sounds a little wobbly at times (especially in his earlier songs), but the beat of his songs makes up for that.

sample songs
Combine Moon (Miku)
Ai no Yorokobi (GUMI)
Urara Urara ka (Kaai Yuki)
Life (Append)
Just a Game (GUMI)

takamatt's Etude No. 3 was what got me into following his works. I don't find his tuning of GUMI very impressive, but he composes very nice, easy-to-listen music. When I say his music is not very complicated, I meant it as a compliment since it means it doesn't take any effort to listen and like his songs. Of course my favorites from him would be his GUMI works although I really like Yuki's song. Also, Miku's "Life" kind of reminds me of the Beatles for some reason ;).
