Tokyosphere Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune
As the title implies, time, or more precisely, the division of time, was one of the key organizing factors for this piece. There is time divided freely, in threes, in fours, and in various simultaneous combinations. "Trying Times" was a working title for this piece that the members of TOKYOSPHERE could relate to as they had a lot of "fun" with the different rhythms and changes. It is interesting to note that, in traditional Japanese music, divisions of three are not used.
