What music music sound like it does

In this weeks music class we listened to some traditional japanese music that involved the Koto, Shamisen and the Shakuhachi. The Koto is a Japanese string instrument with 13 strings. The instrument is unusual for a stringed instrument, as it is not held, but instead laid on the ground. To play the Koto, the person kneels beside it and plays it sort of like a guitar. The Shakuhachi is a flute-like instrument with eight holes and is played similarly to a flute.

The instrument I liked the most was the shakuhachi because it had such an odd sound compared to the other instruments. The way that the shakuhachi complemented the sounds of the other two instruments was amazing considering they sound a lot different from each other.

I was shocked to find that I really liked some of the music. I really did not expect to. I particularly liked the Deep Forest performance, because I really liked the way that the Shakuhachi and Koto sounded together.
