Some things I thought worked well:

1. Pitch bend on the Koto notes to give some authentic sounding vibrato
2. Orchestration of the melody is kind of interesting, Violin + solo Viola an octave below, with a flute and then an english horn playing harmony according to a Japanese scale.
3. Counter rythm at the end with snap-pizz basses sounded pretty fiery to me

Anyway, I comments and suggestions appreciated as always.

EDIT: Thanks so much for the feature!

"Ah, soooo.."

date: October 2, 2009

First off, fine work. This hardly sounds like anything electronically composed. Secondly, nice atmosphere. Your piece blends together seamlessly, but the sound is more militaristic, almost like oar-slave time-keeping music, with the beat and the orch. Not a problem with the song, just a personal itch. If it must be the Daimyo I see, let him have a bit more royal-ness to his theme.. even if they were just landowners. I've said too much already. Good work here!
