Geshi Matsuri (夏至祭)



On September 12, 2010, my lovely friend and violinist of Select Start, Elaine, decided to make a mini album covering 5 video game pieces! They are (in track listing order):

1) Beginners from Ragnarok Online, Arranged by Elaine Li
2) Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts from Yoshi's Island, Arranged by David Yasensky
3) Geshi Matsuri from Napple Tale, Arranged by David Yasensky and Elaine Li
4) Sakura #4 from Xenosaga II, Arranged by Maho Azuma
5) Radical Dreamers from Chrono Cross, Arranged by David Yasensky and Elaine Li

The instrumentation changes per track but the musicians are:
Maho Azuma (myself): flute/piccolo
Elaine Li: Violin, Percussion
David Yasensky: Guitar, Percussion
Jarrod Doll: Double Bass




We recorded the tracks over a weekend in the guitarist's living room (hehe). With limited experience in engineering and limited equipment, we were able to produce a few tracks that I think sound great given all of the limitations. The best part (not to sound cheezy) was the people. It was a really fun weekend and I think that it shows when you hear the tracks! ^_^


If you have a chance, please check it out!
