in this video i re-create the instrumental for "kyoto" by phoebe bridgers! i start of with the bass guitar. i learned that phoebe bridgers loves to produce her songs with a heavy emphasis on the lower frequencies! doing this will really drive your indie alternative rock song. the next thing i added for this "how to sound like phoebe bridgers" song is the guitars! i added some indie doubled guitars and a distorted muted guitar. after those indie-vibed guitars, i added the mellotron! phoebe bridgers uses a pocket piano in the original "kyoto" song, but i thought the mellotron sounded close. after the mellotron, the next thing for that indie alternative rock production vibe was the brass instruments! i added the indie drums after that. let me know who your favorite indie rock artist is! comment an artist you want to see me cover next! ✧ ☆

thanks for watching! ✨
let me know some artists i should cover next 📨

[LaghimaMusic]

can we talk about this video quality though

[juliansjeandawsonarchive]

this video is so incredibly hopeful you could not even imagine

[RiverHudsonMusic]

just the kind of educational material i was looking for to help me get through a song i'm working on right now! Also, and furthermore, a Hippo Campus "Warm Glow" cover would be the most dope-est cover.

[ihszn]

i'm a fan of all your work!! from the music to the editing everything is perfect, you deserve praise and will sub on twitch when my prime is available <3

[Ren-Ren-Ren-Ren]

What a great video.

The production: 10/10. sounds exactly like the original PB song.
The tutorial: 10/10. very informative (from a beginner's perspective).
The entertainment: good too. wasn't bored.

Your videos offer value to me and many of us here. Please keep grinding for your success and ours!

[gustavo-xrgi]

we really need some phoebe bridgers remake like

[sean]

I'm so early!! Thanks for this another helpful vid, man!!

[AlyRemulla]

would love to see a phoebe bridgers remake/tutorial series from uuuu!!!! <3

[ImaginarySusan]

Wow. I just went down one of your rabbitholes and ended up in a new universe. Never been here before....it's always great to learn something new!

[sohji]

I would absolutely love to see a video about Car Seat Headrest’s sound from you and how to do it!

[AlvaroFdezR]

I’ve just found you! This is the video that I’ve been looking for years! Thanks! Cheers from spain!

[hiitsmichael.]

i recently became strangely nostalgic of this video so I had to revisit it... so good, definitely deserves more recognition

[johnminoia]

This is one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen on recreating a song. I’m also low key blown away by your vocals in this. Unreal. New sub here !

[Celia_Alvarez]

This video couldn't come more in handy! I'm currently producing an indie song with some bits of rock, and I'm sure it's going to be super useful. Excited to watch it!!! (Gonna do that now xD)

[ektopia]

Love the idea for the bass. I’ll be trying that out. Thanks

[machitect]

Yes, more like this! I don’t know who she is, but anything not edm-like would be great, esp for ableton

[alansyoutube]

This is so helpful Xole, keep up the good work!!

[mindfuldaydreamers]

Would definitely love to hear you do Garden Song

[brooklynnmusiclive]

This is really interesting to watch - I’m currently doing some recording with a good friend (he’s got the software/equipment) for a solo album and seeing the process has always fascinated me. Just subscribed! Maybe someday I’ll get more into production myself! 😊
