This is a Modern piece . This piece was composed for shakuhachi by Neptune, John Kaizan in 1993 .

Rapids appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
River Rhythm  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
I like the energy of lots of people playing in fast unison, particularly lots of percussion. Some of the musicians said they thought playing the piece was like "shooting the rapids on a river."
