	Misty - Japanese Magic Flute	AC	Koga Masayuki	Chiku-Shin Sound Studio	KGA-903	1990	This recording of solo shakuhachi music represents a dimension of improvisation, not only for shakuhachi but for all flute music as well. While the sound and essence of the music dwell within the traditional realm of shakuhachi music, string currents of other music contribute to from the whole : the hopeful contentment of the Japanese folksong, the elegant clarity and balance of Classical music embraced by rhythms both familiar and new. All of these diverse elements combine gracefully to form a truly new shakuhachi sound.

	Mountain Ghost Breathing	AC	Barton, Todd				A two song cassette of pieces inspired by the paintings of Barton's friend Bob Kostka, whose work also graces the cover. Side A is "Mountain Ghost Breathing," which is made up of altered digital samples of shakuhachi sounds—pure tones, multiphonics, "flutter tonguing,"—you name it—creating sounds that are ultimately very un-flute like. At one point an ominous low drone, reminiscent of something being bowed, pours in and then out while whispy bursts like escaping steam punctuate the upper levels. It's similar to the way Barton describes Kostka's paintings in the notes as living in that "fleeting membrane between the Void and Form." On the second side, he shows off his diverse shakuhachi techniques with stylized bursts on a piece called "Emerging," a slowish, sparse improv with added echo and some synthesized wind sounds over a "live recording of 4 to 7 foot metal wind chimes in a wind storm," albeit a fairly gentle wind storm. (Erik Bluhm, 2019)

	Music for Zen Meditation - Shakuhachi Japanese Flute	CD	Rodriguez, Rodrigo	B.M. Records		2015	Shakuhachi flute music has deep spiritual roots, back to the Komuso Monks in the Edo Period. The Shakuhachi flute expresses a deep kind of music that can only be heard when our mind is calm, we open our hearts, and walked with silence. The repertoire of the master Rodrigo Rodriguez has a broad musical knowledge of ancient and anonymous pieces, which were once sacred musical works.Rodrigo Rodriguez is the recipient of the most revered traditional shakuhachi lineages in Japan , recognized student of the shakuhachi master Kohachiro Miyata , linked to the lineage Mu-ryū. Across the white slopes of the highest mountains of Japan, derives the sweet sound of flutes. The passionate call of the deer calls us the " wilderness " which has been a haven of spirit for many centuries.
