I can think of at least five reasons for my choosing this title: there are five holes on the shakuhachi; the first sounds heard are a five-beat cycle; two five-tone Japanese scales are used; and this piece was written and arranged for ("directions" given to) five musicians. But that's only four. The fifth may be my continuing use of influences coming from different directions-Japanese, Indonesian, Latin, jazz, etc. North, South, East, West...maybe the combinations makes it "Five Directions."
