Parity In Partiality

Take a break from all the Touhou and whatnot doujin music, and listen to some nice instrumental covers of famous movie soundtracks,


Produced by Tak of B'z, featuring Michiya Haruhata (TUBE), Oga Yoshinobu (OOM), Masuzaki Takashi (DIMENSION) and of course Tak Matsumoto himself. The album covers various movie themes ("My Favorite Things", "Over the Rainbow", "The Godfather", "Mission Impossible Theme", "Scarborough Fair" and so on) as well as one original track which is done by all four guitarists together. My personal favourite would have to be "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" which was originally composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto for the eponymous movie, which Sakamoto himself starred in alongside David Bowie, Jack Thompson and Takeshi Kitano.

In other news I have re-recorded the guitar solo on "Because Princess Kaguya Is Scolding Me" as well as making some other adjustments. This time I decided to record the solo on my acoustic guitar since ultimately I felt the electric one didn't seem to fit very well (the sad truth however is that I can't mix it very well at all). I used my AKG D88S for recording the solo, whereas the other two short guitar breaks were recorded with Shure SM57. The D88S is super-cardioid and has a wider frequency range than the SM57; it certainly seems much louder than the SM57. I actually recorded a video as well but then I figured the resolution was not too good, so I got rid of it. Anyways the link to the updated track is included in the previous post.

Currently watching Mayo Chiki! for Subaru reasons unknown. At first I thought she was Sora from the Baldr Sky duology, but it's the same artist so yeah.

The lack of coherence in this blog is terrible.
