This is a Modern piece . This piece was composed for shakuhachi by Neptune, John Kaizan .

Either Way appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Sky Spirit  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
The theme for this tune was written for an NHK (National Broadcasting) educational tape, I wasn't sure what kind of texture the director wanted, so I wrote a tune that would work either with a swing or straight rhythm. We chose the latter groove for this recording.
