very nice Good clean mix, nice use of the steel guitar for the koto. Makes me think about walking around Shinjuku station in a crowd. The last note does not say long enough though. Common problem in GB. see http://www.macjams.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=1&showtopic=4436&fromblock=yes for my solution to that problem. Check out my latest song called Seven Dubs Four

Refreshingly Original though slightly repetitive. I give it high marks for creativity though. Surprisingly listenable! Check out my latest song called Pearls of Perfection

Mesmerizing groove Excellent groove. Meditative, hip, moving, very well mixed, well balanced. But the end is abrupt and really distracts. Perhaps you can fade out or use reverb or think of something to not jolt the listener after such an incredibly wonderful musical experience. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

well mixed You bring together the various sounds in an imaginative way. You adapted the steel string guitar sound well to approximate a koto. A koto with a steel edge, nice! The repetition of the tune wore on me just a little, but this is probably because I'm so used to listening to western music. Call me strange, but I *LIKED* the sudden ending. It seemed to be a logical conclusion of the repetitive phrase throughout the song. Check out my latest song called EPONYM

Would love to hear this... with a closer resemblence to the sound of a koto, actually. Other than that, very beautiful piece of work... I did find it getting a tad repetitive towards the end, would've loved to have heard strings in a higher octave wash over the song at some point. Great original work. I also like that cut off ending, heh! Check out my latest song called With You

Yeah, Don't love the cut off I really like the groove and the vibe. I love listening to this type of music when I work on the computer. The repetetiveness is perfect for that. The only thing that I noticed was that there was a closed high hat sound that sounded like it was a little off throughout the whole song. Like it was never quantized. Kind of had that tamborine in "Time Is On My Side" by the Rolling Stones feel. I downloaded it. Very cool. Don't like the cutoff. Too abrupt and unfinished. It doesn't really seemed planned. Check out my latest song called Walls On Water

You've done a great job of capturing the urbanity of Tokyo. The koto sound cuts through, but a few more extreme note bends would do the trick. Drags on a bit towards the end - sometimes it's hard to build Japanese elements into a crescendo though, it's largely a western concept. Overall an original piece. I live in Tokyo, so I can appreicate it... Nice work!
