"Green Swampy Water" written & performed by Cornelius Boots on a root-end 2.74 Taimu jinashi shakuhachi flute made by Ken Mujitsu LaCosse and a 1.8 jinashi shakuhachi made by Jon Kypros.
Watch it LIVE at the World Shakuhachi Festival London 2018, • Cornelius Boots, shaku...
The first ever music video from shakuhachi master and woodwind visionary Cornelius Boots, “Green Swampy Water” is an elemental exploration of wind, water and wood. Composed and performed by Boots, director Andy Westhoff undertook the task of unearthing and presenting images and narrative from within this solo rascal-sage realm of breath-powered prowess. Everything here is 100% breath-powered and 100% plant-based. It is harder to make robust tunes with that formula than we tend to stop and think about, but this is part of the deeper mission going on here.
“Music is itself in itself; it is not a symbol or pointer to anything else. Nature is Life, all life breathes, breathing bamboo makes sound and sound is shaped into music. Nature, life, breath, music-soulful, earthy, expressive, gutsy. The essence of this starts within, then its energy can be felt, seen, heard, tasted and smelled. Is it magic? See for yourself.”
A true solo blues composition in the style of Buddy Guy, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, and many other fine American musicians. Buddhist Blues, expression of original breath on bamboo shakuhachi: alternative world music, bamboo gospel, classical cross-under, avant nature music.
Inspired by an incredible green swamp in Bohemian Paradise, Czech Republic
( • Taimu shakuhachi impro... ) Also named as a tribute to the Elf song "Black Swampy Water." Elf was a progressive honky-tonk electric blues band from NY featuring Ronnie James Dio, the one and only dark opera hobbit with the golden voice.

Bio: www.komuso.com...
Founder/composer of Black Earth Shakuhachi School, Cornelius Boots has forged his own eclectic style as a professional woodwind performer since 1989. A licensed shakuhachi grandmaster, prize-winning composer and former bass clarinet performance innovator, he is actively merging the threads of Watazumido, Eric Dolphy and Son House on jinashi (all-natural) and Taimu (bass) shakuhachi.
Boots has generated and released an entire body of new songs and compositions for these large, raw and rare bamboo flutes of Japanese Zen Buddhist origin: mukyoku (27 pieces for Taimu) and Shakuhachi Unleashed (48 virtuosic songs of rock, Zen, blues, metal and more). In 2018, he was a finalist in the World Shakuhachi Competition, a featured performer for Sony PlayStation’s E3 press conference (LA) and a featured performer/lecturer at both the World Bamboo Congress (Xalapa, Mexico) and the World Shakuhachi Festival (London).
A three-time graduate of the renowned Jacobs School of Music (BM Classical Clarinet ’97, BS Audio Recording ’97, MM Jazz Studies ’99), Boots’ training and work experience is deep and diverse: jazz saxophonist, Dixieland clarinetist, symphony bass clarinetist, funk and progressive rock bandleader and founder/composer of the world’s only composing bass clarinet quartet, Edmund Welles. With his latest three albums, the Shakuhachi Unleashed series-Holy Flute (2017), Bamboo Rising (2018), and Sacred Root (2019)-Cornelius continues to develop “bamboo gospel,” a robust, cross-cultural solo style utilizing rare breath-defying techniques and panstylistic prowess.
A Performer’s Certificate Awardee from David N. Baker’s Jazz Studies program at Indiana University, Cornelius is the first student of Grandmaster Michael Chikuzen Gould to have earned a Shihan (master teaching license) in 2013 and was given the shakuhachi name 深禅 "Shinzen" (depth Zen or deep Zen). First-prize winner of the 2013 International Clarinet Composition Competition, Boots has also received commissions and awards from Chamber Music America, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Areon Flutes, International Songwriting Competition and Meet the Composer.

This guy is the Jimi Hendrix of the Shakuhachi
I definitely want a Shakuhachi.
I never saw anyone mixed jazz and eastern music so well. I don't think that's even possible. But sir, you delivered it.
@Jacob Newman Lim thanks very much
This is one of the most magical filming locations I've ever seen in a video.
Marin county is a wondrous place.
This is really a superior music video in many ways. The music is profound and reassuring. The cinematography shows a serious grasp of the power of different angles and zooms and is edited with a real flair. And this animation was not easy. Its keyframing was excellent. All three of these elements, the music, the cinematography, and the animation are woven together in a masterful manner which begs for an encore. Well done!
The music of "Green Swampy Water" seems to both create and be created by the gorgeous natural setting in Marin County. Many thanks to Cornelius for this moment of sanity.
It was reassuring to see so much water. Water causes beauty and, of course, bamboo and water are the best of friends. This is why the bamboo was so happy when Cornelius played it. It's phloem was filled with warm humidity, which entices us to sing with it by blowing. I live in a rainy area as well, and was describing all this as a creek until the end, where the wide shot forced me to call it a beautiful river. And the play of light on the water was gorgeous.
Played so good, he made gateway to the multi verse! great playing Cornelius!!! Great Video Andrew Lloyd Westhoff!! Great animation Chris Conlin!!!!
THank You Sir, excited you enjoyed this
that man is blowing for dear life, great music
Wow! I've never heard a Shakuhachi used in such a jazzy tone before! It definitely has some blues sounds to it, and I love it!
the instrument itself is built on the minor pentatonic scale, its built for blues
Dang, I love it! Always thought blues and shakuhachi fit each other, and this is the first time I've personally seen them come together so beautifully. Thank you!
So balanced between Jazz and Zen dimensions ❤
Damn, the camerawork is also astonishing
It is. The cinematographer knows his lenses well and I thought the drone shot was an outstanding interjection, which was not overdone. Additionally the shifts between framing were clearly superior, building tension as the video progressed, from the soft tracking shots at the beginning to some crystal clear tight shots of Cornelius playing. And the glass quality used in the lenses was also quite high. My guess is Canon L-Series lenses, based on what I know, but that is only a guess.

@@Crashof2008 And thank you!!!!
so cool!
Great video, great work guys *Applause*
Can I climb through my screen and listen to all these beautiful sounds and see all this gorgeousness forever? 😍 This was a magical experience...
If Jimmy Hendrix had come along after you sir, me thinks his career would have been a none starter🎅🏼
Heavy metal shakuhachi! Amazing
聞き終わったあと体がピリピリしましたわ～
Whoa is that overdrive naturally achievable with shakuhachi?
indeed -- it is a feature of the inmost realm of Black Earth Shakuhachi School -- practiced by few, understood by none. Thanks for noticing!
Dude straight opened a zen portal. That’s some powerful tea!
That was awesome. The whole composition of music, videography and effects build to a radiant crescendo. Excellent work by all!
I fuckin love him, thank you for performing
Love, Love, Love!
Blown Away!!!..superior Gong Fu by all involved.
Awesome
BRAVO!
A masterpiece in all it's parts
Thank you with all my heart. U made me comprehend in a drop what is Shunyata and what is music. Thank you very much.
Amazing
Excellent...
That's Intense!! Visually and aurally!! That's some serious blues! Job Well Done!! Production crew too!!
Wow
Wauw ! 🥃
playing that instrument doesn't seems to be work for normal humans. awesome music
Bello❤
Thank you for reaching out to 7:57 me.
Nice job on the video Cornelius \m/ Love the effects too!
Wonderful video and great playing!
I absolutely love the incredible cinematography in this video, as it seems to really capture the magic that can be found in the natural world when one is being mindful and equanimous. Boots's composition and playing was astonishing as always. The animations and effects were impressive and interesting, though I don't know if I feel that they enhance the rest of the experience or not. The only thing I found really distracting was that the finger movements in the video did not match the audio. I understand wanting to use a studio recording for the audio because recording outside has tons of noise, but then I think it would be best to get full video capture of Boots playing along to the recorded audio as close as possible so you can sync it up afterward. Overall though this was an incredible and beautiful experience so thank you!
Appreciate your thoughtful comment.
Cuando uno hace lo que le gusta y recibe solo desprecio de los demas hay que solo sentir lastima porque son seres humanos infelices por dentro
isnt this the flute guy from e3? xD RUclips recommended
may be
Good but, if he played slower with his eyes closed, he would be in connection with the surroundings and find the magic. Yet, play as he wants, it's still a kind of music. 🙂
Not a comment on the playing, just wondered why it sounds like a studio recording with tons of echo and reverb?
Spinoza cause it’s a music video.
Пол видео перемотал.
Hi, Cornelius. Could you tell us a bit about the shakuhachi you play in this video? Thank you.
surely -- from the video description above "written & performed by Cornelius Boots on a root-end 2.74 Taimu jinashi shakuhachi flute made by Ken Mujitsu LaCosse and a 1.8 jinashi shakuhachi made by Jon Kypros." There is no filler of any kind in these flutes, they are raw bamboo interior and texture. The 1.8 is actually a smoother inner bore, the Taimu is very prominent in ridges and node remainders, but has a thin urushi wash soaked into the surface to slightly help weather-proof it a bit.
@@CorneliusBoots Thanks for the thorough info! Not sure how I overlooked that in the description, but I did. Looking at the maker's website, there's plenty to read through and understand. This taimu has the sound that I've heard for years and would love to learn to play. Only thing is, I'm worried about the wide finger spacing. Small hands here. Currently, I own a longer shakuhachi that makes my hands so sore to play. That's due to the space between holes. Perhaps that's something that all players go through when they begin playing a longer shakuhachi.
One question remains...where'd you get that bag? Where could I buy it?
