Shnabubula & Soshiro Hokkai Composing for Americana Dawn

Chiptune artist Samuel “Shnabubula” Ascher-Weiss and Japanese video game composer Soshiro Hokkai are the two big-name composers who will be working on one of the newest video game Kickstarters circulating the scene, Americana Dawn.

Americana Dawn is a role playing game which explores over two centuries of early American history using a new tradition of folklore and tall tales inspired by Genso Suikoden and Mark Twain. Throughout its story, we follow Foster, the spirit of the sea, a gentle and innocent being who arrives in America with no apparent heritage or home. Lost to the wilderness of Shenandoah Valley, he lives in complete isolation for a hundred years until he is found and recruited in the provincial militia.  – Kickstarter Home Page ^[1]

Shnabubula ^[2] is known within the gaming music and chiptune scene for his amazing musical talent and composing ability and seems like the perfect choice for such a project as Americana Dawn, and would mark his first game composition debut. Soshiro Hokkai, a guest composer for the game, is known for his work with the Castlevania series; most notably Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Both men have gobs of ability that lend a lot to this project.
