..: The Golden Age of the Samurai :..

The path of the samurai lies in death. One must meditate on inevitable death every day with peace of mind and body. One must think of being torn to pieces by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords. Of being swept away by roaring waves, of being thrown into the heart of a fire. Of being struck by lightning. Of being crushed to death by an earthquake, of falling from a 10,000-meter cliff. Of dying from illness or from committing seppuku upon the death of one’s master. And every day, without exception, one must consider oneself dead. This is the essence of the samurai path.

Its 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion as does the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm, dynamic tones. An ancient Japanese musical instrument comes into the spotlight again. The Koto is not only used in traditional music, but also modern day composers have also used the instrument in collaboration with orchestras since the early 1900Æs. Koto captures the pure sound of Japan and will flood your ears with various sounds. Koto was used in old Japanese court music to sooth the body. It has been said that this instrument could purify you mind, body, and soul. There is an opening in the bottom of the Koto which releases the sound that seems to penetrate your body. KONTAKT, REASON NN-XT.

Discovery Japan CDDA

TEAM CoBaLT | 28 December 2004 | 221.69 MB

The long-awaited sampling collection of traditional Japanese instruments, folk songs, and chants has arrived. Discovery Japan delivers the true sound and feel of the traditional Japanese musical culture. The instrumentalists and vocalists have been recorded in isolation, not as ensembles, and the sound quality is excellent. Real Japanese folk vocal section includes male and female swoops, glides, and a variety of tonal color and format shifts. The instrumental tracks include two types of shamisen, plus shakuhachi, koto, and more. Many synths have patches with these instrument names, but no synth has captured the soul of these ethnic instruments the way Discovery Japan has. Discovery Japan is the real deal.

KOTO 17 KONTAKT

Team ViP | 06 January 2025 | 13.97GB

KOTO 17, the seventh title in the Virtuoso Japanese Series, brings the sounds of the 17-string bass koto, an indispensable part of modern Japanese music, to music creators everywhere. Coming three years after the development of KOTO 13, KOTO 17 benefits from advanced features that coax new tonal qualities from the library. Naturally, KOTO 17 can be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi extraordinarily well, making it an essential component in both classical and contemporary Japanese music circles. And when paired with other titles from the Virtuoso Japanese Series, such as KOTO 13, KOTO 20, or Shakuhachi, KOTO 17 can complete an incredibly powerful ensemble.
