Flying Beyond - Improvisations on Bamboo Flute http://youtu.be/0hMF7btkFUQ Hariprasad Chaurasia - banuri Emam and Rik Masterson - tampura Music for deep relaxation and integration of body and mind: http://www.maharishi-gandharva-veda.de/ About the Bansuri: Bamboo flute (Bansuri) is considered to be the original musical instrument, and is noted for being closest to the human singing voice. The richness from the fine nuances of pitch is accomplished by a subtle blowing technique and by partially covering the seven to eight finger holes. Each flute can only play in one scale. About the Artist: Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia (born 1938) is an Bansuri master of India. In 1981, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to music, he was given the National Indian Award of the Sangeet Natak Academy in New Delhi. In 1990, Hari Prasad Chaurasia received the Gaurav Puraskar (one of the most prestigious awards) from the State Government of Maharashtra, India. He also received from the President of India, the coveted Padmabhushan award. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hariprasad_Chaurasia On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 8:22 PM, Richard Williams <[email protected]>wrote: > Kimio Eto - Koto > > [image: Inline image 1] > > Ryoan-ji Zen Garden, Japan > > Yuki No Genso > http://youtu.be/J7ezuG1ul2c > > Koto & Flute - Kimio Eto and Bud Shank 1963 > http://youtu.be/kTLDZVJcF7A > > [image: Inline image 2] > > Sound of the Koto: The Music of Japan > by Kimio Eto > Vinyl album 33 1/3 RPM > > "The koto is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument, similar > to the Chinese zheng, the Mongolian yatga, the Korean gayageum and the > Vietnamese ðàn tranh.
