Imperial China Cinematic
Royalty Free Chinese Music
Shane Ivers
2016
Imperial China Cinematic takes its subject with genuine seriousness and deploys an impressive range of authentic instrumentation to do it justice. A shakuhachi flute opens the melodic landscape with its characteristically breathy, evocative tone, whilst a guzheng zither provides the harmonic colour that is immediately and unmistakably Chinese in character. A Chinese erhu violin contributes melodic lines of great beauty and expressiveness, gongs and tam-tams punctuate the texture with ceremonial authority, and Taiko drums add rhythmic power at the appropriate moments. All of this sits within a full orchestral string arrangement that gives the piece genuine cinematic scope – the sound of ancient courts, mountain landscapes, and wide-open forests.
Ideal for content set in or referencing China and the Far East - travel documentaries, historical films, and any project where a cinematic Chinese soundscape is the requirement. Works brilliantly for martial arts content, animated films with an Asian setting, and any YouTube production dealing with Chinese history and culture. Also effective for fantasy content drawing on Chinese mythology and folklore, and for any creator who needs authentic world music instrumentation rather than a generic Eastern approximation.
