Watch basic video recordings
These are videos recordings of the beginning folk, sankyoku, and honkyoku pieces in the both books, Blowing Zen: One Breath One Mind and Blowing Zen: Expanded Edition: One Breath One Mind.
Watch honkyoku video recordings
These recordings will supersede my previous honkyoku recording listed under Watch basic video recordings above and Listen to MP3 recordings below. In 2019 I’ve discovered what is for me the secret to honkyoku. This was a long time coming, and I feel this to be a perfect ending to my shakuhachi journey. The only caveat… how long it’s going to take me to record all these? Time is running out. 🙂
Listen to MP3 recordings
These are audio recordings of various pieces in Blowing Zen: One Breath One Mind and/or Blowing Zen: Expanded Edition: One Breath One Mind and/or Blowing Zen II: One Breath, One Mind.
