This week I decided to start composing the piece first. I have composed Japanese style music in the past, so I am quite familiar with the basics of it. Theres a few different modes that Japanese music uses, they are all slight variations of a pentatonic scale.
I used to mainly use the Insen mode, but I think if it is on a purely dark theme, the In scale might be more fitting, as a flat 6th might add a bit more eerieness than a flat 7th in the pentatonic scale.
