❖ some sounds ❖

I don't know shit about music but I sure do like talking about it. These aren't reviews or even recommendations - it's just me linking to music I like, and saying "this sounds cool" and "this has a cool sound" over and over because I don't know any actual music words. Maybe you'll like it too, maybe not, no skin off my back either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

roughly divided by style and theme, except when it's not

coming soon: everything (but also images, and section links, and probably backup .mp3s that you can email me for if any of the youtube vids go down)

stuff that makes me look smart

Kimio Eto: Always nice to hear someone just absolutely kicking ass at their instrument. I don't know a ton about koto, but the quality of Eto's playing is really interesting - it kind of brings to mind banjo or Spanish guitar at times, especially on his original compositions like Midori no Asa and Omoide. I don't have as much of an auditory reference point for the classical pieces, but they've got a cool sound, and his technique is on-fucking-point.

Roy Clark - Malaguena: Technically it's a classical piece and anyway SPEAKING OF PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY KICKING ASS ON STRINGS: HOLY SHIT. There's an album version that's a bit crisper, but this version is definitely worth it, just to see the god-tier finger work.

Literally any version of Malaguena, they all go hard as hell: I got sidelined while finding the links for the Roy Clark one. Anyway, this song fucking rules.
