One listen.

Went in, wrote, wrote some more, finished. That’s how it went. I was just throwing words out with this one. There was a pause for thinking, but otherwise it came really quickly, which was good, I think.

Kimitaka Matsumae’s (松前公高) “Opening ~ Genesis” (“オープニング〜創世記”) is from Tamamayu Monogatari Original Soundtrack, the soundtrack for Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu.

I hope you  enjoy.

Hums sound as though rays of light. Birdsong, wind, water, and woodwind calls out as the hums change. Eventually the sounds move to something that seems a bit more open and wondrous, but only for a moment. The sounds move back and gradually fade away.

As they do, percussion comes in. It is thunderous, echoing, firm, precise. It builds and builds and becomes almost a frenzy. They suddenly diminish and new sounds start ascending and descending, rising up and pushing down, before other sounds like brass call out and strike. The percussion comes back in full and everything is intense and pressing, and it builds and builds and builds and strikes once more before stopping and leaving a little something to trail off at the song’s end.
