History (John Kaizan Neptune):

A mellow, relaxing work that features an unusual chord progression and a diminished scale (with alternating whole and half steps) whose symmetry allows for some interesting improvisation. This piece was written to feature two instruments - the shakuhachi and violin - that can sustain long tones so as to explore the differences and similarities in their tone color and techniques.
