This is a little spoof video I made using the Shamisen Starwars theme played by none other than the Shami Kami himself. He has a lot of great Shamisen videos that you may want to check out if you are interested in the Japanese ethnic instrument.
He has two youtube pages:

Discovery Sound @ Loopmasters
Loopmasters Ltd. has gone out of their way again to promote Discovery Sound's world ethnic sample cds and this time the ad is huge. Now our samples can be downloaded directly from the Loopmasters website. (The days of waiting 2 weeks for the mail to arrive before you can start producing are over!!!)Loopmasters gives new meaning to the word "distributor". They are always providing the best services and returns for all of their partners/labels. In short they don't beat around the bush. This is probably the main reason why they are so far ahead of the competition. Their reputation is inspecable and they are the leaders of the sampling industry.
Loopmasters doesn't play around when it comes to promotion for their artitsts. They are and will probably still be 20 years down the road, the best friend (next to your dog) you can have.

KOTO: Sampling DVD
An ancient Japanese musical instrument comes into the spotlight again. The Koto is not only used in traditional music, but also modern day composers have also used the instrument in collaboration with orchestras since the early 1900’s. Koto captures the pure sound of Japan and will flood your ears with various sounds.
Koto was used in old Japanese court music to sooth the body. It has been said that this instrument could purify you mind, body, and soul. There is an opening in the bottom of the Koto which releases the sound that seems to penetrate your body.
The DVD-ROM was recorded with the player facing the Koto using the correct posture and emotional display to achieve the high quality 96 kHz/24bit sound. You can hear many basic play techniques such as types of chalking, finger slides, pizzicato, and arpeggios all inside 1023 files.
The Koto sound is as quite as the moon, cherry blossoms, and the surface of water. It has a lightness of flying butterflies and the sputtering of fish, but has the strength of thunder. Its 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion as does the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm, dynamic tones.
