Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

This is a really great fusion mix and I'm actually surprised the erhu worked so well as I've only ever used it as a rhythm section instrument as where else I've tried it, it would only work if played by an actual soloist. I've also used, tabla, sitar, guzheng and dizi, so I appreciate how well you did here to get the different ethnic instruments to work so well together. One of the best instrumentals I've heard on this forum.

Mike, this really does sound great! Looking forward to the credits. The percussive instrument that sounds like a deeply pitched water drop is cool. Nice experiment, I need to do this more.
