What's interesting to me is that frutiger aero doesn't even have its own actual genre, all frutiger aero music is essentially just music from the era when frutiger aero was commonly used and popular I find it neat that people started trying to interpolate a visual style into a music genre cause "frutiger aero music" really does sound like how frutiger aero looks
Its true, it was a never a music style, that like came up with music inspired by times new roman font simply became someone want. Its creating a fake sound of the past that never existed.
Most fruitiger aero music is like the warm ambient and playful stuff Nintendo did anyway. I feel like keygen music and frutiger aero have some overlap.
@@x_x_6__ I think its going to morph, because if you think of it theory wise, Its just so good, and if you know how to work the chording, you can make really decent stuff
@@esteban.t ah forgot we’re talking about music here for a while mate, i was thinking visual stuff, clothes, home decoration and stuff. Maybe even that could have a special place in someone’s heart for longer time. You know someone somewhere probably has a lovely grandma who’s on the spectrum and lives for this aesthetic and makes her genuinely happy.
@@esteban.t also i agree and i absolutely love the aesthetic in music. Idk, still i just some times feel like i can’t keep up with trends, microtrends, evolution of culture and everything, gets overwhelming some times and i’m only 30. Does this feeling get more intense with age?
i love seeing tutorials where creators are actually diving deep into music theory or sound design and not just showing the process of them creating a song
Frutiger Aero in my mind sounds a lot more "aethereal", ambient, and "glassy", with lotsa string pads and sparkling accents. Remember that Windows Vista startup sound? And the Wii's menu music.
I think it’s more down to the theory, witha few different genre interpretations fitting. You’re thinking more of a vaporwave sound, where many may think of this more jazzy feel.
@@augusto7681 Frutiger Aero wasn't "a style" at all until people started looking back and retrospectively assigning the term to the broader era aesthetic in retrospect. Which you can do with music as well. It's all just associations and subjective interpretation. People weren't explicitly making "Frutiger Aero" anything back in the day - and there's no authority today on what the exact specific boundaries of the aesthetic are. Also I don't think anyone is inventing anything - obviously things from back then styled as what we call "Frutiger Aero" now sounded a certain way, whether that's software UI, ads, or any other kind of multimedia.
14:21 brought a tear to my eye… A friend of mine had a Wii when it was new. Playing games with other people online was the f u t u r e , and this soundtrack captured that feeling perfectly. Not to mention the wireless controllers and tilt to steer!? Needless to say , I loved going over to his house
i always thought that nintendo way too cheesy in many ways, including music, but i didn't expect that this could sneakily become an unironically accepted and beloved aesthetic
That surprised me too! But apparently it’s true. I know that Brian Eno composed the Windows 95 startup sound, and that Fripp & Eno are longtime collaborators, but I hadn’t heard that Fripp made the Vista version.
Thanks for making such great content. I discovered the Frutiger aero stuff because of my 7 year old daughter who likes to browse Pinterest images and actually likes webcore music. It seems that all this Frutiger aero stuff is taking a new leap these days with younger generations and it could well be the future of music.
also this type of aesthetic in nintendo music is very influenced by japanese jazz fusion groups, and 80s music... check out casiopea, takanaka, hosono, cornelius... theres a lot of them...
17:52 these are just fast triplet patterns, for anyone who wants to program them more easily. you can see examples of how these function in songs by rei harakami and the song alarm call by bjork
one of my favourite aspects of this music which I don't think you touched on is the sound design. Soft saw pads are so relaxing, but what I like the most is the bloopiness. Short sharp sine wave or square wave arps with lots of reverb and delay. sounds like the water part of those frutiger aero images
I absolutely loved this video! I loved the explanation of all the chord progressions and the different ways to think about chords (i.e. how the 9 is basically the 2). The explanation of the drumbeats and also the really thorough explanation of the synths used at the end was really cool and you captured all the elements of frutiger aero super well. I went to your channel and was shocked when I saw you only had 11k subscribers! I just subscribed and I hope to see more of your wonderful content in the future :)
there's a list similar to the one you're asking in a video by Scott Murphy called "How to Imitate a Whole Lot of Hollywood Film Music In Four Easy Steps" (at 5:40 mark)
You can really tell that you approached this sound with a lot of attention for detail and love for it, i've watched a lot of analysis on frutiger aero but this one stands VERY tall above the rest 🖤 thank you for providing such a helpful resource!!
This is such a good vid!!! I find myself gravitating to this aesthetic more these past months and it made me realize that Frutiger Aero really captured the feeling of an optimistic future we never wound up getting (but ill keep dreaming of it anyway)
Aw yiss, the algorithm did really great this time. Got goosebumps several times already, but didn't finish watching the video yet. Thank you so much for this vid! The aesthetic is truly nostalgic and somewhat futuristic at the same time.
I had no idea what to expect when clicking on this but i'm so glad it came up on my recommended!! Wii music is some of my favorite ever. This video was so thorough and complete, thank you for taking the time to share your techniques. The song you made is crazy good, can't wait to hear more :D
thanks, this inspired me a lot, I just made my own track. very well explained theory, I actually started thinking about some chords in a completely different way.
There has to be a James Ferraro Far Side Virtual comment somewhere around here. He was doing this exact thing 10+ years ago and people were calling it proto-vaporwave lol.
I still haven't finished the video, and I'm loving it a lot! But I believe you missed something very important: you should definitely talk about timbre! The chords are very important and your highlights are great, but you wouldn't get the frutiger aero vibes if you played the same examples on a organ or a heavily distorted guitar. The gentle and floaty synth pads does wonders in this genre!
@@jim__jam I don't have any samples so I won't be able to help you if that, sorry, but I had some good luck with 3x Osc and using sine/triangle wave as my base, ofc adding a ton of effects later. I'd recommend you looking for tutorials for the 3x Osc because it's surprisingly really powerful. There is a guy by the name of Busy Works Beats that made a "trippy" one and I modified it a bit to sound more synthwavy for a film soundtrack and it came out nice, so I believe you could reach a frutiger aero sound with this same base as well! Good luck!
@@jim__jam i think my previous comment got deleted for it mentioning someone in specific, but you can look up dreamy/liminal/gentle pads/pluggnb pads in splice and get the pads that you're looking for also the sample pack in this videos description looks pretty good but it doesn't seem to have any pads and seems a little spendy for a pack

Theyre the only ones with value, the ones where it's just them making something its more like "yo look what I can do"
Bro the moment you laid out that CMaj9 I felt shivers. It's so spot on!

Frutier aero was never a sound style, people are inventing something that sound like the graphic design. You can create anything and put this label.

3:16 Scizzie - Aquatic Ambience (Slowed & Reverb)
11:24 thats a nostalgic tune
3:12 this sounds like the psp startup
Also like Dire Dire Docks 😂
I’ve been having a fruitiger aero summer cuz the news is depressing and music like this brings back good memories

Excellent video, by the way! Truly fascinating music theory
dude i been thinking about making frutiger aero music lately, then i realized some people wanted to do the same after watching this video :D
finally somebody that shows how to combine music feeling and the technical part instead of just talking about it.
In Nintendo's music, we can thank Kazumi Totaka for this
damn i didn't know Fripp made the windows vista start-up sound that's crazy
i always thought that nintendo way too cheesy in many ways, including music, but i didn't expect that this could sneakily become an unironically accepted and beloved aesthetic
This video is pure gold for me
you're telling me robert fripp of king crimson made the windows vista start up sound?
That surprised me too! But apparently it’s true. I know that Brian Eno composed the Windows 95 startup sound, and that Fripp & Eno are longtime collaborators, but I hadn’t heard that Fripp made the Vista version.
Fripp & Eno are the kings of computer music too???
jojo reference runs deep
I was shocked too lol
Hell that one tapping guy made the original Mac sounds.
Blank Banshee always made me think of Frutiger Aero
The GOAT
Ok I did NOT know that THE Robert Fripp made the Window’s Vista startup noise, that’s so cool!!!

as an avid frutiger aero fan who also likes making music this video was so incredibly helpful that i almost can't put it into words, thank you
Frutiger aero just wants to be part of your symphony
hi! the dominant 9(11,13)no3 is actually a very common chord in citypop and other japanese music. Is IVmaj7/V, e.g in C major -> Fmaj7/G
also this type of aesthetic in nintendo music is very influenced by japanese jazz fusion groups, and 80s music... check out casiopea, takanaka, hosono, cornelius... theres a lot of them...
Ain't know way we're romanticizing windows Vista
