Western (Wild West/Cowboy kind of Western) music, played with Eastern instruments.

[happyninja42]

So I'm looking for more music kind of similar to first song in this clip.


Classic style Western songs from spaghetti westerns, but played by (at least partially, but the more the better) Eastern instruments. In the theme and spirit of the soundtrack to The Good, Bad and the Weird (the Korean remake of the original). I'm working on an Exalted campaign, and some of the elements of that game really mesh well with a Wild West kind of feel.

Any links, or names of composers/bands would be greatly appreciated.

Bagpipes are eastern originally, and the band Red Hot Chili Pipers did a cover of the Magnificent Seven tune.

Isn't that pretty much the kill bill soundtrack in a nutshell?

Yes but nobody thinks "Hey those bagpipes really evoke a sense of Asian culture." they think "Hey! Scotland!" Which isn't my goal. I'm looking for stuff that sounds Chinese-y preferably, given the theme of the game, but I want a bit of that western flavor to it.

Isn't that pretty much the kill bill soundtrack in a nutshell?

Is it? I dunno, haven't paid Kill Bill any attention for like a decade. I'll check it out.

Something like this?


Masafumi Takada usually composes vaguely Western-y tracks.
