Hey everyone! Well as many of you know Hibiki Ichikawa and I did the Shamisen work for the new film Kubo and the Two Strings. But what many of you may not know is that apart from hearing a little bit of the soundtrack at a sound studio in Hollywood while meeting with the Laika crew, I have actually not heard the final product and also have not even seen the film yet. So I was totally freaking out today when I discovered this little snipet of the soundtrack someone posted on youtube. This one features me on Shamisen all throughout the track but my big moments of glory are the solo which starts around 2:00 minutes and some original improvising which they included just about 4:15 into it. I really didnt know how much of my Shamisen was going to be featured but I
m very excited especially for the 4:15 moment when I get to bust out some of my original Shamisen licks! Please take a listen and let me know what you think! Bachi On Kyle Abbott and everyone here at Bachido! Love you guys!
