    A lovely adaptation of a lesser known folk classic. Kyles ability to blend traditional western and oriental instrumentation is amazing and produces a truly unique sound. Beautifully structured and performed. A pleasure to arrange for.

    Another delightful take on a traditional Japanese folk song from Kyle. All materials perfectly presented and a very clear brief. Kyle is also a master of his instrument, and this really came through in this piece. A beautifully structured and dramatic epic. As ever, a real pleasure to work with.
