Shakuhachi
Meditation Music
Stan Richardson
Over 700 years ago in Japan, Zen masters developed honkyôku,the art of
"blowing Zen," using only the
pure tones of the simple shakuhachi
bamboo flute for accompaniment. On Shakuhachi Meditation Music,
virtuoso
Stan Richardson offers 13 authentic bamboo flute selections, each one a soothing
contemplation
meant to still the mind and awaken attention. Richardson, a former
member of Japan's respected Ki-Sui-An
Shakuhachi Dôjô ensemble, plays these
rare works in the traditional Zen style, just as they were played
for centuries
by wandering monks. Selections range from spare, haunting contemplations to
complex tone poems. Excellent for meditation, yoga, exercise, and bodywork.
