Matsuri

Matsuri literally means "festival" in Japanese, in a traditional "religious" way. There was a traditional festival at the Shinto shrine in front of where I live. As part of the event, they carry around an Omikoshi, which is said to contain the local god. They take it to another shrine, and dance around, sing, play flute and hand percussion, and a lot of rice wine is consumed. I did several recordings of the percussion, flutes, and of the "soya soya" singing. This is the basis of the track. I added a shamisen to it (which you'd never hear in a festival, but that does not matter) and did an incursion into cyberpunk territory at midpoint, because hey-why-not.
