"Well this came out of nowhere! It's simple, but alluring piano passages combined with found sounds that is magically and movingly transportive. It’s like stepping into a wardrobe and emerging in a land of unicorns and butterflies ( can you tell I have two girls! lol). The countryside of Totoro es..." [+] Reply
