Etenraku of Another Earth

"Etenraku" is one of the most iconic pieces of Gagaku, Japan's ancient imperial court music. Traditionally performed during ceremonies and celebrations, it embodies a majestic and timeless melody that has resonated through centuries of Japanese history. This track, written, produced, and mixed by Takayoshi Kudou, is a fantasia that reinterprets this classical piece from a science fiction perspective. Set in a parallel world on another Earth, it imagines how an advanced civilization might have embraced Gagaku in their own unique way, evolving it into something entirely new.
