TOTW: Takuya Matsumoto_ An Oriental Tale

“An Oriental Tale” is my favourite work from Takuya Matsumotos “Assembly” EP.

Weaving lighter more traditional organic elements into house music such as piano and violins, he crates a piece which focuses on melodic structure for it’s complexity over heavy instrumentation. This has made the track a bit of a chameleon, fitting into many different playlists and personal moods.

On first listen I didn’t expect the track to still be on regular rotation in my music library months later but its interesting chord structures and melodic content have kept it there:
