All of the melodic instruments on YIN TAO are tuned to the planetary tone of Venus, the feminine symbol and goddess of inspiration, beauty and love. Out of the successful combination of classical European and Asian instruments emerges a concert ante and meditative world music which sensitively yet powerful stirs the heart. It brings the intuitive, playful, creative, sensual, loving and devotional sides of our being to life. (Guitar, Piano, Cello, Oboe, Koto & Shakuhachi, Gu-Cheng & Ti-Tzi, Bansuri and Percussion)
