Sales Information:
Shook releases a new LP "RPG" composed with one hand and Influenced by Retro Video Game and Japanese Ambient Music.
"RPG" is composed entirely with one hand. Despite breaking his other arm and being unable to play his synthesizers, Wijnands did not give up and created the EP, showcasing his determination and passion for music.
Wijnands says: "I have been listening to Nintendo soundtracks nonstop while creating this LP, and it really cheered me up when I just broke my arm."
Besides Retro Video Game Music, "RPG" draws heavily from Japanese environmental, ambient and new age music from the 1980s.
"RPG" showcases Wijnands' skill as a composer and his ability to create evocative and immersive musical landscapes. The songs have a similar minimalistic aesthetic, where less is more, and the focus is on creating a serene and meditative atmosphere through the use of delicate piano melodies, subtle electronic textures, and synthesizer sound recordings to mimic the sounds of nature.
Despite the challenges Wijnands' faced during the creation of "RPG," the LP proves that he is still pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
