Koto improvisation with flamenco in mind. Rhythmic and experimental. Recorded very late at night so getting sleepy. Better recording soon. Just wanted to experiment and come up with ideas.. Hope you like?

  • This is a brilliant piece. You really need to progress this further.

  • @Thoth1ontheroad -- thank you thank you for your encouragements, i really value your insight and comments very much..  i will do my best to keep up with the koto instrument, its a very discipline and strength demanding instrument, i am getting a little better each day with dedicating more time to practicing it.

  • This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Do you have anything recorded yet? Or, do you have a recommendation of something I could buy on cd? Xie Xie!

  • Thank you for enjoying and your comments ! I have a few new cds being prepared for release check back often to my channel or subscribe to find out more.. In the mean time there are huge catalogues online of contemporary koto pieces by many amazing composers. I only perform original improvisations in the moment which can never be repeated. Free style !

  • Thank you! I will be looking for your CD's. Who do you like to listen to, and who are you inspired by? Can you tell me any cd's to buy now? Thanks.

  • I listen to very few things but for koto I love to listen to Tadao Sawai, there are many of his CDs floating around online especially at a site called Far Side Music based out of the UK, they distribute a ton of world music from all heritages. I'm inspired by everything around me and I create from the depths of my own emotions and life experiences. Thanks.

  • try puente de los alunados by gerardo nuñez, i'm sure you would like it.

  • @nivsha Its one of my favorite instruments. Really love though some of the improv material your exploring with it though (which is why I am intrigued by this piece). I like the idea of using the natural soundboard of the instrument as a procussion accompanyment (people have been doing it with guitars for ages; so why not other things).

  • Thank you for enjoying my improvisation on the koto. I started a lot of the tapping and percussive sounds on the 'zheng' instrument yes. This is the only recorded version. I perform with a singer in the city and one of her pieces I do tap on the zheng mainly. We have to record that to share on here. Thanks for reminding me!

  • One video was enough to get me subbed :) Was the drumming/tapping done on the 古筝 as well?
