New Ambience: Wuxia Tea House
🕑 Added 2020-07-22 15:13:47 +0000 UTCGreetings Patrons,
Today's ambience marks my second foray into the world of Wuxia. This one is even less martial than the previous offering. As you know, I adore exploring the in-between elements of games and stories. The places our heroes go when they're not battling for glory, loot or honor.
Wuxia often creates dualities in the behaviors of it's heroic characters. A hero might be a master of the sword, but could only achieve this mastery by focusing on something ephemeral and peaceful. The warrior monk is a perfect example.
In this track I've tried to portray a rural tea house, open on all sides to nature. It's a very quiet ambience by design. Footsteps shuffle, bamboo rustles, wind chimes...er, chime. You get the picture.
The music track is primarily the Guzheng, basically a Chinese zither, created over 2500 years ago. I've included both music-only and ambience-only versions of this track here for patrons.
Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.
Best,
Tim
