For Luna (Variations of Neptune) | DIGITAL | Rodriguez, Rodrigo | (Description from Rodrigo Rodriguez): A tribute to Rodrigo Rodriguez daughter.This piece of music consists of 3 melodic fragments that try to convey different emotions felt during the existence and life of my daughter Luna. The Moon has always been a symbol of mystery and search for the unknown for the human being for millennia. The melodies with the shakuhachi in this work are of a different character from the first solid and rigid part, through the second most emotional and sensitive part to the last section where the melodic expression opens showing an even deeper part. In this case the transcendental harmonies produced by the electronics of Les Silva create a symbiosis and intimate association of different musical protagonists that mutually benefit each other artistically as they progressively develop throughout the piece. The wormhole is usually represented as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in the space of time, it’s said in the wormhole hypothesis that it could connect extremely long distances, such as millions of light years or more, short distances, such as a few meters, different universes or different time points. This reasoning and scientific explanation about time definitely closes a meaning about the two worlds that my daughter and I live, in different stages of our life. The final stage; the explosion Neutron star merger animation ending with Kilonova explosion, has an empirical meaning without a doubt about the sentimental ties of father to daughter, a daughter can " outgrow" the space she held on your lap, but she will never outgrow the space she holds in your heart. “for nothing is more dear to a father than his daughter.”.In the last part also a beat appears and is shown as a factor of human life as the guiding thread of our odyssey in the physical plane. The Moon represents the feminine power, is the Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven in some mythologies. In others it is a male deity. The frog, the toad, the wolf, the hare and the rabbit are animals related to the Moon, and are often represented as symbols of the moon. | ||||

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.

Poem of Japan: Music for Shakuhachi | DIGITAL | Rodriguez, Rodrigo | 2019 | (Description from Rodrigo Rodriguez): (Poem of Japan) Mizuho no Uta /Poem of Japan みずほのうた Composed by Kohachiro Miyata© 1978 Mizuho's "mizu" is water and "ho" is ears of rice. This rice is soaking with enough water. Japanese people has treated rice as main food and value it as identity. However, 1970's, Japan took an economic policy ("traitor" policy) to reduce Japanese (domestic) rice and increase importing rice from U.S.A. Then the food self-sufficiency ratio became under 40%. Japanese farmer has best rice crop upon a unit area. Kohachiro Miyata proud composed this piece, and wish to revive of such Japanese rice. Food self-sufficiency means real "independence”. This is a piece of genre Modern. Poem of Japan was composed originally for Shakuhachi and Koto by Miyata Kohachiro© in 1978/11/25, 3 months after the birth of Rodrigo Rodriguez who had the date of 1978/8/2 | |||

Space Between | DIGITAL | Rodriguez, Rodrigo | 2022 | From the artist: "Silence and sound acquire the same importance. Romantic and traditional, the composer has created a new work in a unique style by combining experimental orchestral music with contemporary elements and the ancient flute of Japan. It lasts approximately 4 minutes, where the orchestra develops an atmosphere of strings in almost half of the piece. Later, the shakuhachi flute appears with its mysterious and unknown sound. Shakuhachi playing style that produces a characteristic staccato sound." | |||
