You really have fine compositional skills and a master's touch with BiaB orchestration. I can definitely imagine you doing a lot more of this type of work.

Two thumbs up!


Hi Ron,

Thanks for the time to listen and comment with such nice words. I originally had more of a build in the song -letting five of the tracks come on board in increments until all tracks were playing. But he preferred it to open with everything already in place.

I've been a fan of the koto for many years. I've heard a number of Japanese songs that included a koto paired with taiko drums and a shamisen.

The biggest challenge in mixing this one was determining when and how to weave the various tracks around each other.

Thank you for the nice words about my music creation. I sincerely appreciate that!

Take care.

Alan
