Epic Japanese

[pveniot]

Hi All, Long time haven't ask for your input here.
Hope all is well

EPIC, JAPANESE-flavored INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Music Library with International Distribution and lots of success in Film and TV placements.

This Library is looking for Instrumentals in the stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"The Last of Clan Adachi" by Ilan Eshkeri

"Canyon Race 1: Drift Itsumo" by Trevor Morris

"Wrath of the Fire Gods" by Luc St-Pierre

Here is my pitch.

Used Japanese scale and instruments... Taiko, Sakuhachi, kodo small drums....
I was looking to be closer to Canyon Race...

Thanks for your help...

Wow! Great job -- I really like how it develops and moves you along. Nice work!

Sounds good! Listening to the refs, I think maybe yours could use a higher pitched driving element.

Thanks Michael,
Maybe octave doubling the sakuhachi ?

Cheers

Maybe more quick, short, punctuated, rhythmic notes on the shakuhachi, to up the feeling of urgency and excitement?

Hi Michael, makes sense, will post the update shortly

To my ears, this sounds like a Western tune which happens to be played on Japanese instruments... they also have a complete doctrine of chording, harmony, and progressions. I don't hear any of those in your track, I feel like if you replaced all samples with Western instruments there wouldn't be anything "Japanese" left.

Otherwise:
- I don't think you need the riser/electronic break around 1:25, it doesn't fit to the rest of the track.
- The deep bass-ey instrument sounds MIDI, especially in isolation like around 0:46, almost like a synth bass. You might only get away with that in a full instrumentation, not solo like this.

No, I won't be submitting for this listing, but really intrigued by the genre - lots of possibilities with rhythm and instrumentation. Keep up the good work!
