Koto based composition.

Beautiful tonalities.  Are you sample/freezing for the texture underneath, or is that picking technique?

Thanks!  The texture which ebbs and flows throughout the piece is from the koto (synthesis) part.  An LFO opens the gate to the tone at set intervals, allowing the sound to flow freely.  Not all the sounds are from the koto though.  The opening sound is a field recording and the flute like ambience is from the same synthesis engine as the koto.  This creates a unison of sound for the piece which I really like.  3 parts in total.
