Makin' mouth watering sushi out of music!

Hello All!

I have just made a new song, "War of the Cherry Blossoms".

The idea of this is to picture a shogunate and a small peaceful town going to war with each other. It has moments of serene "pastoral" scenes, all coming together at the end with the inevitable clash of forces. With thunderous pounding percussion, kotos, flutes, Di Zi's and Erhu's...

It's an epic idea. The full song, (prologue, actual version, and epilogue) clocks in at 10 minutes and 14 seconds.

It came out rather well, if I may say so!

However, I have to separate it into two different parts because of length restrictions, but hey what can you do?

I will not include the prologue, for it's slow and somewhat long-winded.

The first selection, the edited original version, only contains the "preparation" stages of both sides... more military sounding for the shogunate, while the pastoral sound is given to the villagers.

It intensifies a couple of degrees and then all hell breaks loose. This part is clocked in at 6 minutes and 48 seconds.

The second part I am posting, is the epilogue. It's somewhat of a dreamy, hellish nightmare. Such is war. It doesn't end on a peaceful note... more like, a furiously paced note... as it dies... only preparing for a next encounter... This is 1 minute and 46 seconds.

If you'd like to download them, I'm afraid to say that you can only go to SoundClick to download them. So, please download them from there! :) The link is provided below.

I finally put my Celtic-styled trance song "Dreams of the Kilts" up there as well. And it is available for download at the SoundClick site as well.

As always, here are the links. So, name your poison:
