Django, by Chip Tanaka

Django

by Chip Tanaka

stubled_upon This is an astonishing firework of ideas, flavors, sources of inspiration and merry bouts of craziness.
Not to mention an actual masterpiece.
Sounds refreshing in more diverses ways than one would normally expect to be thinkable.

L-Y3T As one of my favorite composers of all time, I am ecstatic to see that you've released a solo album. I'm only 4 tracks in so far, but I like everything I've heard so far...and I am getting MAJOR Earthbound vibes from the title track. Favorite track: EMGR.

Pain Perdu Saw Chip Tanaka Live at SST2017, some of the most interesting and unique music i'd ever heard.

So happy to have the occasion to support his future music endeavours.

bradsmith Rich and chaotic, lovely, buzzy, springy, whimsical? What a nice sound! Favorite track: Drifting.

Corey Callahan This album marries childhood memories of video games to a hyperkinetic vision of a neon-lit dance floor.

Pure fun. Favorite track: Prizm.

brahmaastra 20171117恵比寿レッドブルも田中さん目当てで参加させていただきました。これからも楽しませてくだされ。 Favorite track: Django.

about

As an innovator who has been transmitting game music across the globe since the 1980s
when he worked as a sound engineer at Nintendo, Hirokazu Tanaka knows chipsounds.
His illustrious career has taken him from games (EarthBound Beginnings, EarthBound,
Super Mario Land) to TV (the Pokémon animated series) to feature films. And now , for the
first time ev er, he is releasing a complete album under his stage name, Chip Tanaka.

For two decades, Tanaka has been channeling his singular inner whimsy and his love for reggae,
dub, and techno to bridge the gap between game music and dance music. This collection of
13 tracks from his own personal label represents a new creative pinnacle.
The music video for the lead tr ack, “Beaver,” has been produced by Jun Oson, known for his prolific
work in the Asahi Shogakusei Shinbun newspaper, the NHK Educational TV series Aware! Meisakukun,
and a number of advertising projects.
Says Tanaka, whose live shows have taken him across Japan and abroad: “If my music can be
divided into ʻfor adultsʼ and ʻfor kids,ʼ then this is the culmination of m y harder side, the kind of
game music you hear in EarthBoundʼs battle tracks.” Donʼt miss it!
