	Heart of the Wind	AC	Koga Masayuki	Chiku-Shin Sound Studio	KGA-871	1987	Drawing on the tradition of Japanese folk songs as well as that of the original shakuhachi music, Masayuki Koga here creates a rich collection of improvisational pieces. He paints the tonal landscape with the elements natural to this bamboo flute and give us a recording which is familiar yet new each time we listen.
	Misty - Japanese Magic Flute	AC	Koga Masayuki	Chiku-Shin Sound Studio	KGA-903	1990	This recording of solo shakuhachi music represents a dimension of improvisation, not only for shakuhachi but for all flute music as well. While the sound and essence of the music dwell within the traditional realm of shakuhachi music, string currents of other music contribute to from the whole : the hopeful contentment of the Japanese folksong, the elegant clarity and balance of Classical music embraced by rhythms both familiar and new. All of these diverse elements combine gracefully to form a truly new shakuhachi sound.
