## How to write a music -- ackee's way -- ##
There are a lot of ways to write songs and it is difficult to explain simply how to make them. Sometimes An idea came across to me imediately, or sometimes I had to spend much much time to pop up an idea. Following would be an example of how to write a song, which is called "Lovers" for CLEOPATRA by HANAGUMI-shibai. It is available to hear the sound via Real Audio by clicking the text. |
The song was requrired for a back ground music at the scene of an amusement center (or an harem). Rhythm pattern of "Kamigata-Sawagi" was applied to the basic pattern. "Kamigata-Sawagi" is a famous Geza-music in Kabuki as an expression of an amusement center (or an harem) with Geisha-girls in Kyoto. | ![]() |
Here is the rhythm pattern with Konchiki(a kind of bell), Shime-Daiko(a kind of drum), and Oh-Daiko(a kind of large drum) | Dom, Tek, Ten |
