	Sabbaticus Rex	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		2009	Album by Sabbaticus Rex. This is sound, but not music. It is primordial easy-listening for dinosaurs: slowly shifting elemental improvisations from fat flutes and big gongs. Two full length discs, completely acoustic: shakuhachi, taimu shakuhachi, and gongs.
	Bamboo Rising (Shakuhachi Unleashed, Vol. II)	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		2018	The hot breath of Life––as Music. Solo classic rock shakuhachi. Virtuosic nature hymns & anthems. Offering up the breadth of big bamboo's breath-powered musicality. Continuing the Shakuhachi Unleashed Series that started with Holy Flute, Bamboo Rising presents a unique style of advanced, expressive solo shakuhachi performance: hermit blues, bamboo gospel. Original compositions and classic rock and metal arrangements--with the mojo intact. This album is dedicated to Son House.
	Mountain Hermit's Secret Wisdom	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		2013	Bass Zen bamboo flutes recorded in a cave. Shakuhachi flute. Contemplative nature music inspired by Zen and Taoist philosophy, breath cultivation and the texture of the living moment. Disc includes files of notation, photos, artwork, and extended notes.
	Mukyoku: Compositions for Giant Zen Bamboo Flutes	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		2011	Renegade Nature Music. These large-bore, raw bamboo flutes evoke the breathy sound of sacred mysteries and create a connection to primordial states of consciousness: the trees singing, the mud chanting, the cave yawning, the sage wandering.
	Sabbaticus Rex II	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		2012	Album by Sabbaticus Rex. Walking the razor's edge between the mystical and the scientific, sabbaticus rex II archives the live creation of spontaneous sound structures from bass bamboo shakuhachi flutes, overtone gongs, and the one-and-only Bazantar.
	Sacred Root: Kung Fu Flute & Buddhist Blues (Shakuhachi Unleashed Vol. III)	CD	Boots, Cornelius Shinzen	Zeroth Law		April 7, 2019	The final album of an adventurous 3-album cycle showcasing new "blues, rock and beyond" repertoire for solo jinashi shakuhachi and Taimu (bass shakuhachi).
