Made as a tribute to the wonderful composer Kinuyo Yamashita who worked on Castlevania among many other games. I borrowed one of Yamashita's chord progressions from her music in Power Blade 2 and wrote a new song. It grew in its own direction but I always wanted it to sound like a valid homage to Yamashita's catchy action game tunes for Konami and Natsume.
Written in hardware accurate Virtual Boy chiptune instructions using the free tracker Furnace, by tildearrow.
The title "Silk Mountain" is an homage to Kinuyo Yamashita based on her name. Yamashita or 山下 means "beneath the mountain," while the kanji in Kinuyo 絹代 mean "silk" and "age/generation."
I'm really proud of this one, and I hope you enjoy!
