I was looking for some shakuhachi music and came across this site

http://webjay.org/by/salishsea/asianflutemusic

a couple of links are bust
(Shakuhachi solo & Skauhachi, koto and voice)
but the rest seem to work ok.

Hope somebody else likes it :blush:

Great, thanks! Do you know about The Shakuhachi Forum? Come by and say hello, and pass on the link too!

Thanks for the link,

I enjoyed the Shika No Tone ‘duet’ (double tracked?)

Its said to represent a conversation between two deer in a valley. Beautiful. A bit more laid back than our descriptive peice The Fox Chase.

Riley Lee’s Birdswing track has a great exploration of harmonic whistle tones. Impressive control. Plenty of homework done there.

Regards,

Harry.

Webjay’s a nifty site, I’ve found lots of interesting oddments there.
Unfortunately “Eek-A-Mouse jamming with Irish pub musicians” doesn’t seem to be up…

Interesting, I have never heard it played that way.

Sounds very nice.

Yes, its traditionally considered a duet I think. The majority of the recordings I have of it are solo though.

Regards,
