This is a Modern piece . Mushi Ondo is also known as: Insect Rhythm.

Mushi Ondo appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Tradition and Beyond  (Listen)	Gould, Michael Chikuzen
Michael Gould (percussion) used to sit in the darkness of his room listening to the cacophony of insect noises outside: crickets, cicadas, etc. Living next to a rice field, the croaks of the rice paddy frogs would add to the din. Michael heard patterns in this created from the first croak of the frog, followed by others joining in until they reached a collective rhythmic "groove" only to return to the quietness enveloping the sounds of the smaller insects again.
