music for performance - task 3

my task is to look at 2 different types of 'world music' and describe them in a detailed and methodical way.



Japanese Koto music.

koto music makes me feel extremely relaxed and at peace because the notes are in a slow pace but played off beat so it's not repetitive. I think of red cherry blossoms gently flowing in the wind whilst the sun is setting. The placement of the notes is random and adds to the overall atmosphere. Also throughout the track lots of instruments are introduced like violins, flutes and harps as well as the koto.


Classical Indian Music.


This type of music makes me feel calm and relaxed. The reason for this is the instruments have a very soothing sound and aren't played fast. there is a gradual grove to the track as the bongo drums are introduced slowly. the combination of all the instalments sound very soothing and this type of music would be something I'd listen to before i sleep.


Japanese Koto Music & Indian Classical Music Comparison.

These two genres of 'world music' are very similar in that they are relaxing and make me feel calm. They sound very unique
