This song was written for the Represent a Country 2 contest in the Audio Forum. The country I chose... China!
I had lots of fun writing this song, and I hope everyone has an equally enjoyable time listening!

P.S. Whoever said that you need weird instruments and oddball pitchbends to sound Asian? :P

::EDIT::
Learn your instruments! :D
The "koto" that comes in at 1:42, is NOT a koto! *gasp* It's actually the parent instrument to the koto, the Chinese Guzheng. http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/ Guzheng <-remove spaces and read! :D

::EDIT 3/31/09::
Edited it a little bit to make it sound a bit fuller in some parts.

::EDIT 4/7/09::
Final edit to this song. This time strings. :D

Hehe, sounds like a video game.

The game sounds like Journey to the West type of song.

Is that where you got the name?


HalcyonicFalconX responds:

Indeed. I did get the name from Journey to the West. I've loved that story, and I decided to use inspiration from that. Of course, I decided to title it Journey to the East because I used a lot of non-asian instruments in it to play an Asian melody.
