Relaxing Shakuhachi!

Ahh... a perfect tune to listen to when I'm down. It's immediately healing and calming. So "zen"... It's a new development that I kinda like the Shakuhachi Flute (Japanese bamboo flute) and am thinking that maybe I can learn it one day!!! But so far, seems it's a bit hard to find information online... oh man.



Anyway, came across some news that there was a recent 5-day event by Esplanade, "A Tapestry of Sacred Music", featuring cultural sounds from around the world and there was a performance "Sacred Sounds of Japan". Interesting...  Read more at http://supermerlion.com/sacred-sounds-of-japan/

The sound is fascinating, yet, not sure also whether I can really appreciate this kind of music all the way or all the time.. Anyway for now, I kinda like the "faraway" zen-like sound of the shakuhachi flute... ho ho ho...



Anyway, to follow up from my previous post, this article really is good:
