Melancholy town where we never smile? Could be the best quote for Ecruteak City, an oriental, yet bittersweet place of Soul Silver.
Hit play button and let’s deep dive a bit in this single. The place is heavily inspired by Japanese architecture. Old towers, kimono dancers, kabuki theatre. Essentially a gym with… ghost type pokémons. What is it if not a mystical aura of the game. Let alone the legendary encounter. But let me now spoiler it. Maybe some youngsters are to play the game later. Worth, honestly!
So, when I started working on this beat, I was already sure to imitate a bit the sound of koto. Yet, as it was a chiptune album, how?
I looked for old Game Boy games, looking for Far East vibe sounds I could record and rework. It took some time and at the end as the song was in minor, I believe the result is a bit eerie. Don’t you agree?
As a b-side song, I added Jazzy Big Ben, based on Big Ben Jazz. Ann old song from Chinese Restaurant. Enjoy both beats for free through the cover above. Click and check my Bandcamp page. Also, feel free to download more free singles.
