Description
With theme of the jam being "The Far Reaches", the idea for the piece was to make a piece that would close the gap between eastern and western music.
Westarn harmonic movements on nylon guitar meet chinese and japanese instrumentary, in form of koto and guqin, doing pentatonic runs.
Track was made to sound etheric and slightly exotic/uncanny from both eastern and western point of view, being the far reach for both.
Middle loop can be prolonged by turning on/off layers of guqin and koto runs, even choosing them randomly if need be.
It connects seamlessly to the thematic part in the beginning and end.
