Shakuhachi Meditation Music

Shakuhachi Meditation Music is a double CD of acoustic ambience from Stan Richardson. The set covers three schools of traditional Japanese musical healing practice -- the Meian Ryu, the Kinko Ryu, and the Nezasa-ha. The absolute simplicity of the shakuhachi and the intricacy of these compositions seem incongruous, but they work well together. Richardson's gentle style creates soft clouds for relaxation
