I love traditional #shakuhachi #music for one thing. When listening to it, you have two options, and two options **only**:
- you'll chill the fuck out
- you'll get so pissed at it grating on your nerves you'll turn it off

That's it, those are the options. There's no ignoring it and having it play unnoticed in the background. There's no continuing to listen it in the "wrong" state of mind, because the dissonance will make you explode.

The Empty Bell

jinashi shakuhachi improvisation

on a 2.4 (key of B) bamboo flute



zen breath meditation on space and form

drawing the lines of architecture
listening to the stories
written in the energy of the stones

silence within the sound

the space between

A lone shakuhachi flute echoes through a cathedral of amethyst crystals. Two hours of Japanese meditation music to guide you into deep, restorative sleep.

Press play. Breathe. Let the sacred cave hold you. 🔮

Shakuhachi & Bossa Nova by Hozan Yamamoto, Shungo Sawada Quintet, released on Union Records in 1969.

"...Jazz and folk music tend to pair very nicely, and fusions of the two genres had been often attempted in the past. This album adds a taste of bossa nova to this mixture. While the distinctive feel of Japanese traditional / folk music remains very present, the velvety yet contrasting musicality of bossa nova comes together with Hozan’s resonant shakuhachi tones to create a profoundly exotic vibe...!

J'ai trouvé cette partition aujourd'hui par hasard.
Je suis super excité. C'est un honkyoku très connu mais il est écrit pour flûte traversière.

Je le connais bien mais sur shakuhachi, je pense qu'il sera très amusant de l'apprendre sur le flute traversière.

Il y a un page d'instruction, trois pages d'exercices, et trois pages de music.
