Eickso Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This piece was originally written for piano in 2019, but I decided to orchestrate it and it is now one of the coolest things I have ever written. I would love to hear what you think! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear what you think! This is really cool! Unfortunately I'm not very experienced in orchestral writing but just from an auditory experience it's really interesting and unique! Was this related to Japan in any way? Sounds remarkably pentatonic and the title of the piece gave me that hunch haha. Thanks for sharing though!

I am not really trained in it either but I like writing for orchestra the most because of all the options for color. When I wrote this piece two years ago, I don’t know that Japan was really an inspiration... I think I name all my pieces at the end based on a vibe I get from the music I just wrote (most of the time), but I know I wanted to write a bunch of cool pianistic arpeggios based around a cool chord progression. That being said, I TOTALLY get Japanese music vibes from this orchestrated version. There have been a few pieces by Japanese composers I have played where I can hear the similarities, and it probably rubbed off on me because one of them is a favorite of mine (Jalan-jalan Vision Isle of the Gods). Thanks for listening 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for listening 🙂 Glad to hear you're really into Japanese music as I am really into it too! Perhaps you would want to check Gavin Leeper's videos on contemporary Japanese music progressions, or Adam Neely's video on Jazz and Jpop!
