Check Out Descripción Conceived By Kayano Chino Distributed In Electronic Text
I just finished reading it, and have already implemented some of its ideas into my compositions, It's a nice read, really easy to understand especially with the labels the author uses and the example melodies provided are effective at showing the concepts and are also really pretty.
I'll be moving onto the second book now, : This book is a miracle! Finally I understand why Jpop sounds so different from western music and what I am doing while Im trying to compose music myself.
It explain a lot of flavours and feelings I got from listening to music that I couldnt grasp knowing only basic conventional theory.
A music harmony theory book for Japanese modern and traditional music written by Japanese music theorist, It is
recommended if you are a music composer or a student interested in Japanese gaming, anime, and J POP music.
