A total of 15 songs written by composer/arranger MAKI codeM over a period of about 20 years for Japanese instruments, mainly the shakuhachi, or for fusion compositions with Western instruments. From originals to arrangements, each piece offers a relaxing effect through the overtone-rich sound of the shakuhachi and an uplifting feeling through its stirring melodies.
The shakuhachi artists include Takuya Iwata, the 2012 world shakuhachi champion, and his trio Hannya Empire with Akihisa Kominato and Hiromu Motonaga, as well as the Shakuhachi Project with Yukihiko Mitsuka, Junya Okochi and Naoki Matsushita. There will also be plenty of ensembles. This is a piece that allows you to fully enjoy the new appeal of the shakuhachi as a traditional instrument.
