Simply beautiful. Is this improv?

[DolfRabus]

This is not improvisation! Everything is notated in an old musical language and is part of a tradition some hundred years old.

[AzathothianBrew]

This guy has the spirit of wind flowing through him...

[NightshotBR]

this music gives me the willies... now i just want a sword, a beach and a neck to slice =)

serious now, simply beautiful.

[BLSSDMF1979]

"Tradition some hundred years old"...it's a bit more than that.

Shakuhachi has roots that go as far back as 1477, however it was not until around 1603-1867 the Edo period did it come to be what we see and hear now today. This is a nice performance though, I love the sound of a good player.

@DolfRabus Any Idea were I can get books (in english or german) on eastern musical language ?

Since Glass I want to learn from the eastern ideas, I just love those areas of tones which western music seems to avoid so much.
