Change of Plans

We have decided to scrap the idea of recording samples from Chinese Orchestra. We, as a team, felt that it would take us too much time and effort to record a whole orchestra. We believe that as a result, we would not be able to have enough time to do our own individual songs based on the mentioned sampling.

Thus, we have decided to record the Koto instrument from STA Labs instead. We chose this as a team because we felt that we can have more access to this instrument rather than the Chinese orchestra instruments. Also, this will lessen the manpower needed to record as we, as a team, can benefit by learning the Koto tuning and how to play it.

At the same time, we can learn more about Japanese musical instrument and its cultural influences. We believe that from here onwards, we can create original compositions as our final product based on the Koto instrument.
