Every once in a while I write music for existing films; Films that moved me and left something behind. This is the case for this music, "The Gate". When I close my eyes and stop thinking about the world-outside, this music opens the doors of the Inugami Palace for me. It is evening but there is still light; the surface of the lake reveals the presence of a gentle wind, caressing its waters. But the mild scenery is only an illusion. In fact, a different and stronger agitation can be felt in the air, anticipating unexpected and dramatic events. It's "The Inugami Family," by Ichikawa Kon.
