That reverb plate sounds so beautiful with the piano

always gives me chills his music is heaven

[EthanVillanueva]

I've seen him live twice now and I'm always so impressed at the fluidity he's able to have when creating a lush soundscape. Great guest to have on! Subscribing for more! May I suggest Cory Wong from Vulfpeck??

[EDP_beats]

Ohhh! I would love to see FKJ Live set up in Ableton!

[Alexmo]

Cette musique, c'est de l'amour sonore. Ce "pont", dont il parle, fait toute la différence. À ce moment précis mon coeur se met à fondre. L'esprit de FKJ est incroyable !

[iamtonisilvers]

[thekman]

i wish the full length episodes were video like these clips instead of all audio! would be dope since you guys film them anyways

[rick_music]

FKJ is one of my biggest idols in music

[samplesandloops]

I love how many producers spend tons of money in plugins and fabfilter eq while FKJ uses customs for Ableton.

[adritrace]

So interesting hearing him talk about his music

[burbankmusic]

cant help but hear Sleep Away by Bob Acri whenever i hear this song, probably got the melody from that cause it sounds so similiar

[TripioPlayinBeats]

The 🐐! Love that tidbit of not playin with the mouse to not let thought get in the way of the music

[zgo_official]

So inspiring to see this unique project in detail!

[ecstasyteen]

I am more than halfway done with learning this song. I really wish there was version with just the instrumental and the vocals so I could play over it.
