竹林の風

apanese classical instrumental. Open with a deep temple bell followed by slow shakuhachi and sparse koto. Introduce traditional Japanese drums very gradually, creating a sense of ancient history and quiet spiritual reflection. Develop into a majestic but restrained ensemble featuring koto, shakuhachi, shamisen and low percussion. Powerful emotional peak without becoming aggressive, followed by a long peaceful resolution. Ancient Japanese atmosphere, elegant, contemplative, cinematic and acoustic. No vocals, no lyrics.
