Ergo Kukke – Komorebi Flutes

K o m o r e b i (Japanese:木漏れ日[komoreˈbi] ) means “sunlight shining through the trees.” The word describes the beauty and wonder of rays of light shining through the foliage overhead, casting dancing shadows on the forest floor.

K o m o r e b i Flutes are a traditional oriental Japanese/Chinese wind instrument, ideal for scoring, electronic and meditative music. Like traditional Japanese and Chinese mask magic, the magical K o m o r e b i Flutes have many “faces”: they can make a calming “zen” sound, but they can also scare you.

The flutes were recorded at 192 kHz 32 bit, and together with bonus material the library weighs in at 14.2 GB.
