The place for musicians to share their knowledge and ideas about music and remixing, and to post WIP snippets and feedback. Also suggest tunes for remixing, here.
Can anyone help?
I was on holiday just a few weeks ago at Walt Disney World in Florida. One night me and the wife decided to visit EPCOT for a bite to eat.
Whilst we were walking around china outside they had some acrobats performing. To my amazment the music that was playing was tune 1 from the way of the exploding fist! Is it a classical chinese piece of music? Or have they used it without asking?

Don't you mean "Courage The Cowardly Dog" ? And what episode?

Oh well, I could always ask my Beijing-born boss or his parents currently staying here. But since China is a quite big country with several different people and cultures, it might be more likely to find a match on Internet or a musical encyclopedia than asking some Chinese people.
Edit: If it wasn't for the fact my boss is music illiterate.. no clue from him.
WOW! I heard the Fist tune being played in Epcot / Florida too! In fact, I got so excited (as I do about things like this) I even mentioned it in my Commodore Zone C64 mag many moons ago.
I played the C64 version to my fiance Natasha and she thinks it's a traditional tune - although she comes from Singapore, not China, so she's not 100% certain.
