Samurai Cowboys

Liner Notes

I commented on a song by @arcane and someone else had said that their track sounded like "Samurai Cowboys". I said that sounded like a great name for a track and so here it is! The main rule, it had to have Taiko drums.

Yet again I find myself having to learn some very different sounds and it turns out the Guzheng is quite hard to play! Used a few different sounds in there to try and make it sound unusual, hope it works.

EDIT: I've just realised why the Guzheng was so hard, I had it set to play in the 'Akebono Scale', a scale used in Japanese music....I really struggled to get a sound I liked, then I struggled to play along to what I've created. I guess I've just learned a new scale 😆

Used to make this track:
Reaper DAW
A couple of different NI and Massive X Taiko sounds layered together
NI East Asia Guzheng
NI Electric Sunburst Deluxe
BBCSO Horns and Cello
Jade Ethnic Orchestra Xiao Flute
Skanner XT pad sound
Fantom pad sound
