"Ignore all my ongoing projects and start a new one" is every artist's motto if we're being honest here

Actually the keys are numbered because it's a type of notation called the numbered musical notation, which is used to score music for that instrument. I think Japan started using that scoring system in the Meiji era, and it's still used today for traditional instruments. Chinese traditional instruments also use this kind of musical notation. It's called 簡譜 (jian pu) in Chinese. Just thought it'd be interesting to share!

It's like a sitar and a harpsichord got frisky while a hurdy gurdy watched from the corner.

Suddenly we're in synthwave Japanland

"My studio is a disaster right now" you say as you pan over a studio that's still way cleaner than mine when I have everything "tidy"

Me: There's this new popular song with a banjo and Billy Ray Cyrus.
Huang: *_GET MY TAISHOKOTO_*

I have worked in the music industry for 35 years.( music producer / composer / performing artist.)
Collaborated with great artists.
I've never seen that before what a talent you have.
last year I sold both my studios.
What a new world has emerged today.

Huang: "Apparently this is called a Taishokoto, a stringed instrument from Japan"
Also Huang: *Proceeds to play fluently as if he spent his whole life learning it*

Am I the only one who high fives him back in his intros? Love your work man!

[seanruebush]

One of the best vids so far. I love the instrument and that beautiful bass guitar. That program was superb looking in its simplistic organization. Great work.

I was so impressed by this instrument that I just picked one up off of EBay from Japan. I negotiated the price down to $175 from the $310 they were asking. Can’t wait to play it. 🤩

Am i the only one who craves a released song of that melody? Amazing Skill Andrew!

[iamallamaninja]

You freaking blow me away every single time

[xlnaudio]

Excited to see you putting XO to work Andrew, the track sounds great! :)

You gave voice to my ADHD brain in three seconds.

[Crux]

I hope this gets developed into a full track someday.... The melody is so haunting!

It sounded like the remix of an atmospheric score of a 70´s movie! I would love to hear an instrumental version of this for a walk headphones on in the city!
