It starts simple enough &#8211; and this is the first quarter of the scene &#8211; but mashing up Scottish (Douce Dame Jolie) and Japanese traditional music (Oedo Nihonbashi\/\u304a\u6c5f\u6238\u65e5\u672c\u6a4b) was not easy! I ended up treating it more orchestrally, and brought in and modified Kendis&#8217;s tune as glue, turning that into less &#8220;Road to Lisdoonvarna&#8221; and more &#8220;Forced March to Lisdoonvarna.&#8221; Or that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been calling it in the studio. XD<\/p>\n<p>Most instruments (drums &#8211; even the electrics are played live &#8211; mandolin, irish bouzouki) are me; Sarah Kellington of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/pinnipedmusic.com\/\">Pinniped<\/a> is on fiddle. We have another fiddler working on this (whose name will be familiar to many of you, but all that in good time&#8230;) to be added in, and a flautist (same notation). (MYSTERIOUS IS IT NOT? Yeeeeeeeees.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, a 50 second excerpt for you.
