Koto Box by pftq

Experimenting with eastern instruments more. Some inspiration from Uttara-Kuru's East Wind album (ie Tsugaru) for the koto and some inspiration in the opening flute melody from Sega's games. The rest is improvisation.

It was much more peaceful in my head though; I don't know why it ended up sounding sad and dark. I blame Halloween coming up at the time I was composing this.

Originally I was going to make this longer, but it's been sitting in my drive for a year now unfortunately. I should start setting a deadline for wrapping my projects up, so I don't keep getting stuck on old stuff for so long.

If you enjoy this piece because of the koto, consider checking out the Heart of Forma Climax track as well which also features a koto:
