"Otonai" is an old word meaning to 'produce’ a sound or to 'reverberate.' It is my feeling that the power of the shakuhachi lies in its ability to give life to sound, and to allow that sound to thrive by placing it in the context of time or 'ma.’ In this improvisational work I utilize traditional techniques and a natural tonal progression in the hope that listeners may come to understand these sentiments.
