Love the harmony and melody! Great work here. Those changing notes are a bit jarring but they work out. Great instruments. Perhaps I should pick up the Noire Piano haha. Though not really ambient, it is very good.

Description
I had a lot of fun creating this piece of music based on the beautiful Lake Biwa artwork.
I started writing before reading the extra constraints. I'm terrible on theory anyway so it's in the mode of "not sure". I was also too deep in to the track to change course by the time I noticed. I checked with my son and the track is probably in the key of Bb Major, switching to Gb from time to time. I used a temple drum which is in a more unusual key.
The music is mainly structured around the piano which I played using Native Instruments Noire. Next I added a Cello and Violins (Also using NI Kontakt). Finally added the temple drum, recorded on a close mic mid/side to emphasise the stereo image.
Then noticed the special constraints, did a face palm and added a drone using UAD's Opal synth!
This is my first jam!
