Composition, baroque lute: Naochika Sogabe
Chiaroscuro - Impressive depiction of light and shadow - this is the typical characteristic of Baroque painting, as we can see in the paintings of Rembrandt or Caravaggio. Music in this period also depicts chiaroscuro in different methods, as Rembrandt expressed with a wide variety of brush techniques, etc.
In Baroque painting, light is emphasized through the depiction of shadows. In this piece I use chromatic progression, dissonances and also Wolf intervals. (For detailed information about Wolf and tuning methods, please watch my video: [ Ссылка ]). It is very unusual to use such techniques in ambient music. But this way I tried to make the pure, radiant harmonies sound even more radiant with the dark sound presentation.
If you find the expressions too heavy, please check out the other pieces in this channel. Maybe you will find the right mood for you.

- Oud & Lute - King of Instruments -
The origin of the oud belongs to the ancient times and similar instruments were used by the Babylonian and ancient Egyptian. Until today, oud is played as the "king of instruments" in Arabic culture.
The oud found his way to Europe in medieval times and it became "lute". During the Renaissance the lute was also regarded as the "king of instruments".
