Happy #PointNClickFriday, and congratulations on getting the kickstarter funded!

We woke up this morning to a big spike on @itch.io for our game "The founders of [redacted]".

Find out for yourself if this game is indeed as "fresh" as claimed!

// Today playing a solo exercise: Maku Sanjū.
#nagauta is the richest form of theatrical #shamisen #music in #Japan. Born from centuries of fusions between #Buddhist and #Shinto #music weaves together to form what we can listen and see today.

#Tool - Chocolate Chip Trip drum solo on #shamisen YouTube video by A Shamisen Orchestra

Sharing my #arrangement of @toolmusic.bsky.social Chocolate Chip Trip #drumsolo by #DannyCarey with my #Shamisen.
How many listen to drum tracks and hear their instrument playing along them?

Anytime! I also offer shamisen lessons in videochat if you need some clarification “face to face” 🙂

#AdvXJam2024 update: our composer @shamisenorchestra.com is finalising the #soundtrack for the game.

Here's one of the many versions of the game's main theme (it will change dynamically through the game)!

One important thing is always to keep your bachi in a correct position, so it won’t hurt to try the holding technique. Keep in mind that it’s slightly different than the Naga-Uta shamisen.

Feel free to ask anything you need 🙂

Thank you so much!!!
