Baroque & Modern Ambient Lute Music "Chiaroscuro" - Nao Sogabe

[@yagami351]

I found your musical approach really fascinating. The idea of transposing the chiaroscuro concept into your music is so inspiring! It's amazing how you create this contrast between light and dark, rather like the great masters of Baroque painting. Using chromatic progressions and dissonances to bring these “sonic shadows” to life is a brilliant idea. It reminds me of the way artists like Rembrandt and Caravaggio played with light to bring out the beauty of their work. Your reflection on the joy that comes from sadness resonates deeply. It reminds me of the Japanese concept of “mono no aware”, that gentle melancholy in the face of the impermanence of things.. It's a beautiful way of looking at life, and it comes across in your music. I really appreciate your boldness in integrating dark, dissonant elements into ambient music. It gives a unique dimension to your work, inviting everyone to think and feel more intensely. It's true that some might prefer softer sounds, but that's what makes your art so special: it encourages exploration. Your music seems to remind us that beauty can emerge from the balance between contrasts, like yin and yang. Thank you for sharing this rich experience with us.

My wife says this sounds like the seasons on our farm. A gentle music as each season passes.

You only experience really deep joy when you know great sorrow. Those who have a very easy life don't know this deep joy. Chiaroscuro - Impressive depiction of light and shadow - this is the typical characteristic of Baroque painting, as we can see in the paintings of Rembrandt or Caravaggio. In this piece I use chromatic progression, dissonances and also Wolf intervals. (For detailed information about Wolf and tuning methods, please watch my video “Tame the Wolf!”). It is very unusual to use such techniques in ambient / meditation music. But this way I tried to make the pure, radiant harmonies sound even more radiant with the dark sound presentation. Nevertheless, these dark elements in this piece sound really bitter. If you find these sounds too harsh, it's all right! Then please check out the other pieces in this channel. Maybe you will find the right mood for you. Tame the Wolf: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYDZmXZtgdiZhLc
