Art is Magic. I made this as a set piece to a recent video of mine about turning my inner city room into a magical creative space. This was like the reveal of the space as it now is in its full magical form. I'm pretty happy with it, and I liked this little set piece so I thought I'd extend it out and turn it into its own piece. Consider it an Adventure Mode piece, although it's a bit more dark...

Turning my Inner City Room into a Magical Creative Space So I moved into a new inner-city apartment sometime in April. It was an absolute nightmare to find - I'd been looking for a place literally since November 2022, so it took all up 4 good months of scrolling through listings, sending inquiries, going to viewings only to discover that the flat didn't get any sunlight, or had been trashed by ...
this place feels ancient and forgotten

In the far corner of the world lies a lost land. The name it is given nowadays is 'Fiordland'. I have visited its outskirts several times, and very rarely ventured into the outermost valleys of this land. But never have I truly ventured into it, and I have only looked out yonder across Lake Te Anau and Lake Manapouri. Of all the incredibly beautiful places in the South Island, this area has lon...
sea and snow in the same day (new zealand)

From Sea to Snow. I composed this little tune last year for a friend of mine. It's a sweet little tune, so I thought I'd dig up some old footage from last year and craft some kind of video out of it. I managed to stitch this thing together, and tell a bit more of a story with this one. This video follows a typical journey through Central Otago, which is such a diverse region here in New Zealand...
another day in the new zealand countryside 🇳🇿
Переглядів 100Рік тому
Aotearoa is my home. I've spent my whole life here, in this far corner of the world. I would say that the most quintessential New Zealand thing is the countryside. Yes there are mountains, scenery so epic that Lord of the Rings was filmed yes. We have an incredible coast, rugged down south, and more relaxed up north. The cities are cool too. But at the end of the day, there is always the unders...

This is the 12th instalment into my Piano Box series. That means Piano Box Volume One is complete! 12 tracks makes a set. I'm mostly focussed on practicing the piano at the moment, but I've managed to nip a bit of time out of my schedule to make these, as I do enjoy making a new piano box video, it's quite a relaxing process. I had just finished a lecture at University last Thursday, and it was...

My latest relaxing piano piece. I dug up some more of the footage I captured in my summer away in the mountains. This was all filmed in Queenstown. I didn't have many clips to use, but thankfully I recorded the long shot at the end. It was a beautiful sunset. All those people on the beach were in attendance, but when you look out at those mountains, and the sun going to hide behind them, this p...

Breathtaking scenery. Best of luck to you on your youtube journey and looking forward to seeing more ✨️🌸✌️
Thank you, I'm excited to share this side of my creative expression again!
Wow, so effortless and beautiful. Kind of feels like lo fi. Keep it up!
Thank you! The melody came to me and I didn’t hesitate I just recorded it and improvised a little solo, does feel a bit lofi
Chill and so pleasant bro ❤
Sounding so good! As always. So chill. Please come to Wellington!!❤
Absolutely how can I forget your incredible hospitality?! One day soon I will return :)
Beautiful piece of music 🎶 So peaceful. Thankyou
Nice work....I would really like to write a TV series (a bit like the British series ' Life of Mars'. Base it in NZ or North East Tasmania. Car breaks down on a country road and goes to a little station it goes through a tunnel and arrives at at station and it is the 1950's.
You should write it! and visit a place like this to inspire your imagination
If you want your video more views and engage subscriber then your video need to seo, seo means search engine optimization
@@miskatjahan6213 it’s a video for family
great piece, though I was a little disappointed at first that it wasn’t Secret of the Forest from Chrono Trigger!
and beautiful video, I appreciate you using real footage of your own and not some AI-generated clip 😅 though New Zealand still looks unreal
Thanks, I see you found my other channel haha, nice! Sharing the incredible scenery in New Zealand with my music was the first goal of this channel. I’m kinda sad because this channel was my baby, but I don’t have time for it atm. One day soon I’ll get back to making videos here
Its wonderful, please keep composing!<33
Thanks! I haven't composed music like this in a while, I might have to make a new piece soon :)
Keep up the special style of videos
I wish I could. I’m focussed on another channel. This style of video takes too much time that I don’t have unfortunately 🥲 I’ve still got a lot of ideas for videos in this style, maybe in the future ill revive it
I found your Channel in the "Minecraft Music & Ambience" video, and it's just AWESOME your videos and your songs. They are so relaxing, and i feel like I'm in Minecraft with this Mountains in the background videos. Really, I loved your tematic of your channel. Congrats for it. God Bless You! (I dont speak english very well, and i dont wanna use the translator because I wanna "train" my english, so i apologize since now if you don't understand something that i said here).
Wow, you made my whole week with this comment! Thank you so much for checking out my channel and leaving that lovely message, it means a lot to me. I put in so much work into this channel over the years, but I haven't done much here recently and I'm pretty sad about that, because it mostly has died, so to see that my videos can still be found and enjoyed like this, it brings me a lot of joy. I think I should make some more videos! Thanks for inspiring me. God bless you too. P.S. Your English is going great!
@@joshuastclairmusic Just keep going. My friend had a game channel in youtube, and I edited the most part of its videos. He stoped of create and he didn't had the perseverance to stay groing, and now all that we have done is just some "nostalgia", but I'm shure that if he would keep going and didn't stopped, he should have a big channel. I'm saying this not because I think you're not perseverant, no, because when I see your old videos so now it's notable that you're very perseverant. Actually, I'm saying this because you just need have some vision that until now you probably didn't had. I hope your channel grow up. When it happen, I will be there. God bless you. (I hope I writed this corretly)
@@oalamedathanks for your kind words! Actually I never gave up haha, I just put all my effort into another channel, and it’s almost at 600 subscribers there so things are finally picking up some traction. I might have a bit more time on the side this year to make videos for this channel again, it would be nice for this one to grow as well as it was the first and it’s dear to me.
@@joshuastclairmusic Nice, what is the name of the second channel?

Came to hear your scoring. Great work :)
Thank you bro, I appreciate it! How did you know I compose the music for my videos?
Wow just amazing😍
Thank you :)
You are most welcome@@joshuastclairmusic
it souinds relaxing
Hello, I hope you are well.I have seen the videos of your channel. Your video is very good But your video optimization is very important. 1. SEO Score is very low 2. Title - Description - Tag no SEO friendly 3. No Share Social Media Platform and many problems on your UA-cam Channel Immediately need SEO for your UA-cam channel. I am waiting for your response. Thank you.
Your videos and music are very good But views and subscribers are very less.....
Your comment and sales pitch are very good but your clients are very less...
I mean SEO your videos will increase views and subscribers@@joshuastclairmusic
I can't tear myself away from the coziness of your home)
Nice! I think if you started with the cool shots of the space and then flashed back to setting it up, it would grab more attention at the start! Good luck with your channel!
Good thought man, I didn’t think of that in the edit. Next time!
Hello dear, I saw your UA-cam channel and understand you are a UA-camr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total 363+ subscribers and a Total of 138+ Uploaded videos of your channel. I noticed one thing according to your channel your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. And monetization of your channel will be on.
Thanks Sagor will do
Thanks@@joshuastclairmusic
wow
video editing is good bro.. keep going!
Thanks, I love editing!
You are an really underrated youtuber keep up the great work!
Thank you I really appreciate that! I’ve learned a lot over the years and I’m applying it to another channel. For now this channel is just a passion project but later on I’ll put some heavy focus on it to make it feel very magical and inspiring!
You earned a sub💝💝
Try to sound Good, if you work on your audio, you definitely can go and touch the sky💝
Haha thanks I really appreciate that. I have another channel where I focus way more on production value and I use my AT2020 to record audio. I wanted this to just be way more relatable and unedited.
@@joshuastclairmusic Okay Dear💝 Best of Luck😍
Beautiful :)
Thank you :)
the music is calm and relaxing and its reminding me of the dragonspine ost
Thanks! I'll have to check that out, sounds awesome.
I didn’t even realise this was you until I seen you lol Great thumbnail, incredible shots and videography!
Just realised this is probably your piano too?
Just seen, omg, such quality. I need you to write a sheet for me to learn this from lol
@@curtiskennedy6360the piano is not too bad in this one, I can teach it to you
@@curtiskennedy6360Yes all composed by me. This is the soft piano with a nice reverb on it
❤❤❤❤
Love it. So peaceful and calming to listen to and watch
Hey man I've been looking through your channel and you have some good stuff here. I would love to collaborate with you. Do you have Instagram?
Omg, I nearly fell asleep to that sound track!😅
The video is so smooth!
Thanks the video is in Arrowtown, smooth thanks to my gimbal
Wow. Your place is so wonderful..... And so many sheep. ❤
Yep! That's New Zealand. More sheep than people haha.
Jesus this is a beautiful piece, my ears have been graced 😍
Did you do the photography and choreography?
@@curtiskennedy6360 Thanks Curtis! Yes filmed it all myself on my trip away the other week. Milford Sound
@@joshuastclairmusic I thought it was Milford sound!
Only 26? I have ten years on ya! 😄 Plenty of time for you to still be a famous writer and musician 😋
Haha yeah I guess. I'm not really aiming to be famous. I just want to be able to explore my creative ideas and develop my artistic skills with the full depth and focus that I can! I want to fully realise my ultimate creative vision, that's my main goal.
@@joshuastclairmusic Haha jokes re famous although that could well happen. But your heart's in the right place. All the best with your creative journey. Can tell how passionate you are about this which is awesome! Have seen one of your piano vids so far, you are very talented! Will check out some of your landscape vids in the future too 😊 All the best!
@@NobelCats Thanks aye! Means a lot. My older piano videos were mostly all filmed and recorded with the keyboard outside. Nowadays I just record in my room and go and to film haha
Hey Joshua 🙂 Stumbled across your channel via Ali Abdaal's video. Am only part way through this video so far. I hear ya re being a perfectionist and also starting more than one channel! 😄 I have created four channels on UA-cam alone! In the end I decided to focus primarily on my original channel. One channel is enough work! I have broadened my niche to health and wellness for the mind body and soul/personal development. Have switched niche's a lot too. Am enjoying the creative process! Right now I'm more focused on posting consistently than I am on focusing on solely one niche. What will keep me posting consistently is if I mix things up creatively to keep things fun! 😋 Variety is the spice of life right!? In time I may get more niche specific once clearer on what type of content does well. I'm currently getting in to 30 day challenges. Guess you could call that a niche? 😄 It's been a long journey! You deserve to have more followers than you currently have also. Stick with it! 😊 It's totally cool to have casual video's like this that are less polished so that your audience gets to know you better 👍 Not every video needs to be a masterpiece! Are you also from New Zealand btw? 🙂 All of the best with your creative journey. Enjoy every step along the way!
Thanks for your awesome comment! Yes I think niche is important at the start I think, which is why I've changed my strategy and I've made my 2nd channel my main channel, as it is more focussed on a clear niche (music), whereas now this channel has become my passion project. My vision for this channel is way too big to manifest at this time, but I'll slowly work towards that vision, while I grow the other channel big! For now, I'm just enjoying the creative process and improving my skills - sounds like you're on the same buzz! Also, yes! I am from New Zealand - I love sharing the incredible landscapes of the South Island on my channel with music and video :)
@@joshuastclairmusic @joshuastclairmusic Thanks for reading and for your response 😊 Yeah I tried different niche's for different channels. Still struggled to grow though. But ya know what helped the most? Shorts! It's a great way to gain thousands of views and new subscribers but you need to schedule a lot. I have hundreds lined up for the next couple of months again but then taking a break from them! 😅
@@NobelCats I definitely agree, shorts seem like a great way to grow. But I've always been personally adverse to making shorts. It goes against some of my values as an artist and so I made a rule for myself to not make shorts, even though they will help the channel grow. I made one short on my other channel, but when I posted it, I felt really bad about it so I deleted it and made up my mind then.
@@joshuastclairmusic Fair enough Joshua always follow your gut instinct! 🙂
Your videos are very chill and interesting, keep going !
Thanks! Means a lot. This is one of my favourite videos, tried to make it feel magical and adventurous, which are the emotions I hope to inspire.
Dreamily beautiful exploratory world in your music. And yes, it's always so good to take an authentic break from all access to the fast-paced, modern society.
This is so good! New suscriber here❤You're so talented!
Thank you so much!! I'll to get the piano tuned and record the next one soon.
the place and the music is greeeat!! 😮😮💖
Thank you so much! This was all filmed in the University of Otago campus where I study. Even when I didn't study here, I would visit and listen to the Harry Potter soundtrack for the fully immersive experience 😂
This is REALLY WONDERFUL!!
Thanks for your lovely comment! I'm glad you think its wonderful :)
Thank you for this.
I just love that the music goes so well with the scenery and back ground sounds.
Very nice :) you just earned a new subscriber
Such a great piece!
Great Vid!
Thanks man! This started it all ahaha
so peaceful
Cheers, the campus is quite peaceful, but only when the students are in lectures. As soon as that hour strikes this place is chaotic
forever grateful to know such a great composer :')
Thanks Jakira that’s very kind, I was having one of those days where I felt that I sucked at music so this came at a right time
Hi, I'm teaching about youtube channel development. If you want to work with me, you can tell me your instagram account
I love these kinds of videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you bro I appreciate your comments. I make these for fun whenever the muse strikes so I’m glad you are enjoying them!
@@joshuastclairmusic most welcome! I look forward to more!
@@tompurkis Man that’s good to hear, I’ll have to start cranking them out! New Zealand has no shortage of beautiful scenic locations - it’s just that I’m so busy with uni and my bands at the moment that I have no time to get out and capture it 😬
@@joshuastclairmusic I know the feeling! What bands are you a part of?
@@tompurkis Currently two bands, one a pop jazz fusion band and the other a pop funk band. I make vlogs about all my/our musical exploits on my other channel if you were interested where all my time goes 😂 ua-cam.com/video/4VQhuY9h35o/v-deo.html
