This is an abstract video game soundtrack piece I made in 30 mins with mostly logic sounds. I sampled my good friend and Taiko Master, Isaku Kageyama, and added some organic synth sounds as well. Tell me what you think!

Produced by taiko expert and composer Isaku Kageyama, “Onshoku: Taiko Rhythms” is an earth shaking yet delicate comprehensive collection of rhythms and melodies from Japan at your fingertips. 

These samples give you access to a unique palette of authentic and contemporary loops and one shots, performed by Yuki Yasuda (koto), David Wells (shinobue), and Isaku Kageyama (taiko) through a cinematic lens. 

All sounds were meticulously recorded at the historic Sound Factory studio in Los Angeles at the highest quality and are ready to be used in any production from film and video game scores to pop/rock or hip-hop. 

Weave these gorgeous strings, mysterious winds, and booming drums together to create a quilt of Japanese beauty that inspires.

Recording from the Asano Taiko US Podcast Studio #2 we had a great conversation with Isaku Kageyama.  

Listen to Isaku's story of starting his taiko Journey in Japan and his 6am practices in the park, Odaiko competition wins, breaking barriers with Ishizuka Yuu and finally settling down in LA where we can all reap the benefits of his teachings!  

Special Thanks to Asano Taiko US for letting us record this episode at their facility.
