親指シフト- Oyayubi Shifuto - Thumb shift keyboard - submission for Impressions : Special Holiday Jam Dec 2024

Performed manually on a Roland FA-08 synthesizer and then touch up work was done in Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio.

The draft was not uploaded for Mixcraft work until the morning of the last day of the jam. So I may not do much final-handling on it.

You're wondering how that could correlate with a mountain scene.  What if this is a Japanese software dev who's figured out how to live off the grid near the ski resort at Sapporo and he's looking out the window...so he's tippy tappiting on his oyayubi shifuto and drinking something warm and restorative during the winter.

With some justification this is a 'Personal Project' because 80% of my things don't have a drum track, and there's an evolving struggle to integrate percussion.

So...in -spirit- this is an unofficial sequel to the Guilty Gear - Axl Low Theme for Aurelien Castel's sixth jam in October. (release CCCXLVI)

Per usual with my MuseScore PDF uploads the instruments for at least half the things in the notation score are different from the sounds heard in the MP3 because MuseScore has limited instrument selections.  The Roland has thousands more tone choices than the notation software.

The painting in the track art is "Mt. McKinley, Winter" by Sydney Mortimer Laurence (1865-1940) created circa 1925
