Jazz experimentation

For day 10 I decided to follow the quest Something Strange and Wonderful, which tells us to use an instrument we never used before. I decided to use two instruments I've never even heard of:
- Shakuhachi, a Chinese and Japanese longitudinal, end-blown bamboo-flute;
- Kora, a 21-string lute-bridge-harp used extensively in West Africa.

Probably due to the shakuhachi, the music ended up sounding a bit japanese, something I never actually tried to mimic. I really think the end result sounds and feels great!

You are here
when you tell me
you are happy, but I know
even if you smile and are awake in your mind
you want to leave

Take me with you,
but let's wait until night comes
when everyone has gone home
so they don't wake us when we quietly slip
into our dream

Meet me there
where we first met
and let the wind carry us away
to where the river flows and grass sways to and fro
to and fro

Imagine,
imagine being free
a place where we can simply be
with no one thinking "what a strange thing to say"
as they pass us by

Even if you
didn't wait, I believe
that you're watching over me from the place
where they sleep, those that didn't say good night
before they left

In a dream
you showed yourself to me
met my eyes
and smiled, but said nothing
just passed me by

Du er her
når du sier det til meg,
at du er like glad, men jeg vet at
selv om du smiler og er våken i ditt sinn,
vil du dra

Ta meg med,
men vent til det blir natt
og de andre er på vei hjem til seg,
så de ikke vekker oss når vi glir stille inn
i vår drøm

Møt meg der
hvor vi møttes første gang,
også lar vi vinden bære avsted
dit hvor bekken sildrer og gresset svaier til og fra,
til og fra

Bare tenk,
tenk å bare være fri!
På et sted hvor vi kan være oss selv,
og hvor ingen tenker "for en merkelig ting å si"
når de går forbi

Selv om du
ikke ventet, må jeg tro
at du våker over meg fra et sted,
hvor alle sover, de som ikke sa god natt
før de dro

I en drøm
der du viste deg for meg,
møtte du mitt blikk da jeg så på deg,
og du smilte til meg, men sa ingenting,
bare gikk forbi

Take me with you

Take me with you (feat. Ingeborg Francke)

Tried to go for the secret meeting but then it got a little too energetic... Just a simple short loop

A not so secret meeting (21 Days of VGM, Summer 2019, Day 11)

21 Days Of VGM, Day 11. The prompt I chose today was to write a piece for the classic JRPG combination of piano, flute and violin.
