Synth History

Just played Tamashika!

Been posting about video games more often on here and thought I’d mention this one. It’s a psychedelic (extremely) face-paced first person shooter developed by (a creative studio founded by filmmaker Harmony Korine). I saw one of my friends playing it on Switch and downloaded it on a whim and my mind was kinda blown.

Soundtrack is pretty bonkers and has music that can only be heard in-game by Baby Pantera, Bandit Crü (DJ Fitness, Fayt, Jonny From Space), Bitter Babe, Cottintexts, c_robo, Du Plead, E.O.U, GRRL, Nick León, Somepoint Sound, Soother, Surusinghe, Two Shell, Vladimir Dubyshkin, and Yaeji.

Anyway if you’re looking for something to play with a cool soundtrack, highly recommend! Maybe I’ll stream it one of these days (believe it or not, I have a Twitch channel it’s - where I’ve played games like Doom, Xenoblade Chronicles, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (of which I played through in one sitting) etc.
