Is that an Erhu playing along with the flute and piano? this has such a wide open feel, airy, yet gently epic.. Very nice contrast of textures & tones Alexander!

Very sleepy ambient tune, love the vocal thing in the background, distant but in my opinion just right. A nice track Alex

Great asian feel over the flute-intro and the whole composition aswell. The violin-like instrument later on is beautyful and realy sets the mood with that special asian sadness in harmonies. Very good choice of instrumentation and also very authentic in both sound and play! Your afection for this genre realy shines threw in this piece. Hard to tell if you realy have these original asian instruments or if it is samples you use. Pro asian scaling in play!

Nice flute intro, alluring and subtle in mood. The watery FX throughout the track highlights a mystical component that works so well in this genre. Again, enthralling and subtle. I’m wondering what Chinese string instrument(s) was articulated in this charismatic temperamental piece. A superior mix and production that took me on an Eastern journey. Excellent job Musan Dera! You seem to have a fondness for Asian inspired music. What motivated this composition? Most enjoyable.

Nostalgia is the right word, yes the feeling is exactely this one. Instrumentations is recalling the china atmosphere, a beautiful mood in this one, I hear unknow sounds hidden in the track, kinda of modulating voice (01:20-01:26 again 01:34-01:42) and this one is REALLY taking me away.....so beautiful!!! Double bass is working as modern contrast to the "classic" sound (IMHO)....a personal sound note. Majestic landscape, a track made for dreaming, may be to meditate and laying back. Great one, the minimalistic period of Musan Dera is still shining on, also in this "Shanghai Nostalgia", and I love it! :) -Spin-
