Kinko honkyoku.
Holy Flute Holy Flute
Boots, Cornelius Shinzen

2017 Hard rock and sacred nature music are brought together in the voice of the solo flute: the Japanese Zen shakuhachi. This bamboo flute is known for being evocative and provocative, ethereal, and very difficult to play. The breadth of its breath-powered musicality is brought to you in Holy Flute. This album combines the energy and structure of carefully chosen rock songs--originals and covers--with the inspiring, one-of-a-kind sounds of the shakuhachi.
Home is Now Home is Now CD Curti, Horacio Ichi Records B21951-2015 2015 Home is now is a sonic presentation created from the shakuhachi in 2015. The thirteen pieces included should be first considered as sound and only then as music.

Honkyoku Honkyoku CD Danbrook, Debbie
