Consider this (channeling) done with an adeptness that not many other people possess. It’s actually very fascinating to listen to. See if you can find a track called Searching for the Shadow of Umbrella (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQhbhVy-28) from the Mizu no Onna OST. It’s basically the famous stacatto movement (2nd movt.) from Ravel’s string quartet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2KUTa6P6lM), but the melody is original, the harmonies, etc. It’s very nice, and I have no idea how she does it.
