Hi everyone.
My name is Sadao and I am a freelance musician born in Japan, currently living in Tokyo.
Here is my SoundCloud for those of you who would like to listen to my music before reading all my yapping.
Here is my Twitter, where I operate under the name Observer.
To make things as concise as possible, here is a list of everything I have done up to this day that I hope you find of interest.
I have:
- been ghostwriting for a lot of Labels, both in Japan and in other countries. This entails me to make J-Pop, J-Rock, EDM and a whole lot of other weird stuff
- also made music for a lot of video game projects, of which 3 are set to release commercially in the next year or so. The others were all from a video game jam craze I had back in 2020, when I simultaneously composed for like 15 games in 2 weeks.
- made a career out of transcribing music of every genre, from Contemporary Classical music to Neurobass stuff. I have extensively trained my ear to the point that I can identify almost any note that I hear, what instrument/synth/waveform it is played on, what chord is being orchestrated, etc
- composed and arranged music for a variety of festivals and events, music bands and organizations under a production team that I was fortunate enough to be picked up by
- studied Jazz Performance and Composition, Classical Performance and Orchestration, World Music Studies and joined a multitude of advanced performance groups when I was in Music School.
- won awards in several piano competitions, both Jazz and Classical
- been the pianist/keyboardist/bassist/vocalist for a variety of house bands both back in my hometown and in Tokyo, the genres spanning from Jazz to Funk RnB.
My rates are very fluid, and if you don't have much funds to spare I am more than willing to talk it over with you and we can work something out. My email is sadaoj.e@gmail.com, and my Discord is Sad#5374.
I hope to see you soon!
