L'un de mes compositeurs japonais préférés.. magique !

[@computertable3746]

From someone who mostly composed for TOHO's tokusatsu films, this is quite peaceful actually.

[@stimmtehnicht250]

Danke meine Freunde aus Nippon! Ich Liebe eure Musik. Grüße aus Deutschland! Es erinnert mich an meines Kindheits Herbst!

Very Traditional in the tune of the music.

[@sakuramoon5774]

Would love to play this one day.

When the world bends around itself, when the structures of a civilization falter, it is good to return to that which in history does not bend, but on the contrary recovers courage, gathers the separated, pacifies without bruising. It is worth recalling that the genius of creation is also at work in a history more and more devoted to the destruction

[@williamwilson6203]

Wonderful thought. +++APPLAUSE+++ Music instructs without blackboards or fingernails drawn across them

[@classicaltrav]

And this is from the guy who wrote Godzilla soundtrack...

[@DJAnthrocide]

We all have bills to pay...

[@jg3000]

Artem Vovk I always liked that soundtrack. And here I am for more.

[@godzilla964]

He composed the themes for many Kaiju, and he created Godzilla's roar.

[@OfficialBo420]

No duh, best music out here tho ngl

[@OfficialBo420]

@qh a composer turned to movies 👏🏻🕺🏻

[@cglmmedia4020]

Very reminiscent of Koyunbaba by Carlo Demeniconi yet still it’s own masterwork

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im lyrischen Tempo mit durchsichtigen Tönen des orientalischen Instruments und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt tiefempfunden!

[@paulmustermann7068]

I like the clear sound of the instrument, I like the tempo, but I don't get the notes, I miss a melody, it sounds chaotic (to me, to my "western" ear). I don't know "how" to listen to this music, but I wish I could. Anyway that man created the Godzilla soundtracks, which I love :)

[@classicaltrav]

I agree. It’s definitely a unique experience to hear to our “western” ears :P but a good experience!

[@theatmospherefactory9265]

@@classicaltrav not too weird if you consider blues at a creeping pace with bent notes in 5-7-12 tone 'pockets' toss in the right flats and sharps etc. the difference in rhythmic tendencies definitely obscures the way to the bridge between them s to speak.

[@1lekhine]

The harp is one of the instruments more metamorfotic when is forte or low in intensity, seems to me like it was different from itself. The dicotomy of menschliche Rasse ❤ Piece ✌ danke

[@craigharrison1274]

I believe you’re referring to what’s called a koto. Not sure if it could be technically counted as a harp or not.
