Shenanigans Of The Fantasia Duo ~ À La Terrasse D'un Café

"Renko, this is not a good idea!"
"It'll be fine!"

A song for Dr. Latency and her physicist friend; These two explorers of the unknown know that they aren't the only ones with connections to the intangible and mysterious.

They were curious to find some of these individuals by initiating an albeit silly plan.

Hello hello! Good to see you all again!
Hope everyone is doing all right always during these trying times

Today I want to present something very special, A collab! Not just any collab, but a collab with Armand(@nekonaku) one of my many inspirations. 
Check him out! (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC437117qw1WlTiQZNgCfZRQ)

This is one of my first collabs and you know what, I learned a lot and I'm genuinely glad I got to finish it with them. I was actually scared to even start when Armand offered for a collab. We did lots of cool stuff! Even a bossa nova part! 

We initially had no theme for this song but eventually molded into a pseudo-hiffu style song. This collab took around 2 weeks, alternating the .flp file back and fourth; We worked in sections mostly as in (using timestamps),

0-0:28         (Ocha)
0:29 - 1:13     (Armand)
1:14   -  2:10    (Ocha with embellishments from Armand's 0:29-0:38 section)
2:12  -  2:32  (Melody: Armand; Initial Chords: Ocha)
2:34 - 2:48 (Armand "Bossa Nova Style")
2:50- 3:06  (Melody: Ocha; Chords: Armand)
3:08 - End  (Armand's scrapped melody idea reused; Embellishments by Ocha)

Hope you enjoyed as much as I did, Thank you so much for listening!
Saluten!

Touhou-Style Original/Collab | Shenanigans Of The Fantasia Duo ~ À La Terrasse D'un Café

Greetings! I'm Tempura or Ocha, still hasn't decided which handle to go with.

I'm trying my best to be a decent composer! Mostly dealing with Touhou-styled stuff currently but is interested in other genres (Orchestral, Future-Bass etc.).

Criticism is always appreciated!

Favorite Pokemon is Mew ( and definitely not because I have no idea for a profile pic)

Nice to meet you!
