music in which the breath of the person is married to the sound is most beautiful and relaxing...

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Thanks for your perceptive listening. You are right, the music is a marriage of sound and breath - exactly that! xxx

[@daviddiamond2415]

Beautifully still, Adrian. This piece leaves me breathless. Or perhaps more accurately, as breath.
You have captured the essence of meditation music. In meditation, time has slowed to eternal. The music is patient. There is no rush. There is plenty of time. There is no time. There is silence. The total stillness between the phrases is forever, as important as the total nowness within the phrases.
Beautiful. Thank you. 🙏

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Thank you David for taking the time to write such heartfelt and appreciative comments. I loved reading your words, and felt that you had really understood something in my music - in and in the stillness between the phrases ...

[@ajhcornwall]

Totally awesome. Had the pleasure to listen to you play this at the Ashburton Arts Centre at the weekend, it was the highlight of the evening for me. You add an extra dimension or two to any other flautist I’ve heard. Amazing sculpting of sound.

I just released a 90 minute video of solo shakuhachi music - called Zen Calm - check it out and leave me a comment there! I hope it brings some relief for you.

[@rodolfo0506]

A lucky finding in this very critical time, so much needed of a reliable refuge to recover the basics of our lifes lost in the freenzies of modernity. Thanks

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Thanks for your comment . I's so happy to be able to offer music as a sanctuary in these times .. check out the new video Zen Calm xx

[@martinschuetter2084]

I keep coming back to this piece - it's just brutally beautiful. it pulls me in completely and I can feel it deep inside me, spreading like a warm wave of peace and calm. it's really an incredible feeling when you meditate on it. an absolute treat for anyone seeking deep spirituality and perhaps even self-healing.

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Interesting what you say about Seijaku - it's also my favourite of all the videos here. It was created in a perfect afternoon when I returned after many years to a place that had been so special for me when I had lived in Kyoto.

Sometimes we see instrument and human become one.

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Thank you Federico. I appreciate your words. It is true that at certain moments I feel that myself, my instrument, my breath and sound all become one with the moment! 🧡🌀💎

[@takopyaro-sumiyoko24h]

Just awesome！ I guess you practice ZEN.

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

I have been fascinated by Zen teachings for the past 40 years, since I was 18 years old and first read an introduction to Zen .. enigmatic, simple, penetrating, universalist, subtle, authentic, enchanting ... the Zen teachings continue to captivate and clarify the way to peace of mind ... playing this music is part of that journey, and I'm happy it connects with you, the listener. Thank you.

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

f... yeah, man 🤘🏼

[@senseistrange]

@@ZenHeartMedicineMusic I have been noodling around with the shakuhachi for a year now. I am barely making notes. You put in the time and love. It shows.

[@mrenormouscroc]

Hi Adrian, this is such a beautiful sound. I also want to ask you whether it is totally natural and not manipulated in any way. I have become something of a skeptic as so much flute music is manipulated with a little reverb and echo to enhance it. Is what you present pure and unchanged electronically post production? It sounds like some of the echo wouldn't happen in the setting.

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

HI, thanks for connecting to my music.
You are absolutely right, there is a little reverb added to the audio in post production. The actual room in which it was recorded was a very dry sound, and I feel that the instrument benefits from a more spacious ambience. I don't like a huge echo , but a little space and perspective brings out the warmth in the tones of the instument and the phrases of the pieces.
I hope this shaping of the sound does not interfere too much with your enjoyment of the music.
🕊️

[@gonsonandenschinder]

Is that a samue you wear?

[@ZenHeartMedicineMusic]

Yes it is! I lived in Japan for many years and I discovered the places where the monks go to buy their clothes, so I was able to buy the genuine samue, and I love to wear when playing shakuhachi …

[@DuoAwadru]

hi I'm just reviewing these comments, and I'm not sure if I replied at the time - It's actually an F shakuhachi! A jinashi made by John Kaizan Neptune
