Japanese flute Shakuhachi on Russian manner
Andrew Jilin - an author and musician about his new Shakuhachi album
Long time ago a student asked his teacher «How should I describe the sound of a shakuhachi flute? ». The teacher said, «Shakuhachi is like a wind in the pines».
Definitely I must be more consistent with this blog! I'm sorry, because I have too much main work (damn COVID!) and also have a lot of Russian's blog work... So, there is not so much time to invest in a new one. But I will change this situation in near future. I will start uploading photographs from previous trips, prepare English subtitles for already published videos in Russian, and start work on a new film about the culture of monochrome photography in Japan.
In the meantime, I would like to present to you the work of a Russian performer on the Japanese shakuhachi flute. His new album is a mixture of ethno, folk with light shades of rock. Enjoy!
Here is a link on his new album
From Andrew:
This is the first album of Moscow based band Tori. Tori means bird in Japanese. Nature has inspired the band to write, arrange and record these tracks - birds tweets, leaves rustle, the wind, water murmuring. All these sounds you will hear in the music of the band. Together we will share the oncoming of spring, Japanese state of enlighten regret about the passing of summer, joy of sea walk and fresh air. Moreover, you will hear how wind plays with waves. All sounds come from silence. We encourage you to hear the silence inside you.
