Dear Listeners, welcome to Season 1 Episode 4 of Panosophers' Podcast.  May we express our gratitude for your ongoing support and attention to this venture.    This week, we have the company of Mark Stavish.  Mark is the founder and director of The Institute for Hermetic Studies (IHS).  Mark holds degrees in Theology, Communications and Counseling.  He is a prolific author of depth titles on Mystery subjects, centered on Western Kabbalistic knowledge.  Mark is a longtime friend of our sibling podcast, Thoth-Hermes, and a trove of additional prior conversations may be found there.  The overarching theme of the next two hours centers on: “what can you handle?”  It is plainspoken and direct, while brotherly and benevolent.   We encourage you to listen with ears open to hear.  Mark and Rudolf dive in with the starting context for the IHS: 1990s, East-Coast America.  A time of in-person groups, Gnosis Magazine, and the grit of self-publishing material perhaps too deep for the balance sheets of popular booksellers.  Mark shares stark realities of rejection and adaptation for the sake of creating inheritance to future Seekers- rather than status or income streams.   With his characteristic energy, Mark challenges listeners throughout the dialogue.  He names the essential need for Initiates to handle stark reality, including worldviews not their own, beyond personal identity and ideology.  In doing so, he identifies the need to produce a life-giving vision of the future, least populations be drawn into that which appears to be but is not.  As Mark states, this has little to do with who one wants to see elected US President in “the next election”.  It is this call to Depth that sees Mark and Rudolf explore essential questions: What is ‘tradition' and why is it a responsibility? What is ‘initiation' and the mindset of a true Initiate? How does ‘virtue' relate to potency? Mark issues the Saturnian challenge to grow past “Tik-Tok clutter” and “podcasting, publishing, and product” marketplace of Occultism.  He names the Aquarian postwar Esoteric awakening as a response to mass trauma, “most vibrant when truly counter-cultural” and small-group relational.  Along the way, even the esoteric Christ is alluded to warmly.  Turning to ethics around public divination of societal energies, Rudolf and Mark note the need for maturity in any Initiate claiming to do this.  The qualifications include a true education in all of politics, history and economics- imbuing a nuance which returns to Tradition.   May this bring a cornucopia of fruit for all of us.  Music played in this episode Find out everything about our musical guest today, KARL YOUNG, and about the Shakuhachi, the Japanese bamboo flute, on his own website.

With an active performing and recording schedule, and a growing studio of students, Shawn Tairyu Head has dedicated himself to bringing the shakuhachi to new audiences around the world. While he embraces the traditional melodies of the ancient repertoire known as honkyoku, his classical conservatory training and Western spiritual perspective make him equally at home composing and commissioning new works that explore the unique sonic possibilities of the shakuhachi. As a performer, composer, and teacher, his goal is nothing less than a shakuhachi revival. In this conversation, you will find SO MUCH GOLD for the 21st century musician. Shawn is SO GENEROUS in sharing his path and his process, and he has TONS of fantastic advice. I recommend you take notes and take note!

Shabaka Hutchings, now Shabaka, has been a crucial and connected London-based musician for years, leading arena dance-jazz band Sons of Kemet, cosmic psych-dub-funk trio The Comet Is Coming, and the collaborative band Shabaka & the Ancestors. He began incorporating layered flutes on the last Sons of Kemet record Black to the Future, and kept on picking up more and other woodwinds, first on his 2022 ambient meditation, Afrikan Culture, and now on his new full-length, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. On it, Shabaka plays flutes: the Slavic woodwind called svirel, Japanese shakuhachi, Andean quena, and even clarinet. Plus, rapper and flutist André 3000 contributes flute to “I'll Do Whatever You Want”. This time, in his visit to our studio, Shabaka, together with Charles Overton on harp and Austin Williamson on drums, play some of the songs from Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. Plus, Shabaka talks us through the different flutes in his bow case, including a clay turtle ocarina and a non-student shakuhachi.

In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of poet, memoirist, and editor, Garrett Hongo. His collections of poetry include Yellow Light (1982), The River of Heaven (1988), Coral Road: Poems (2011), and The Mirror Diary (2017). His poetry explores the experiences of Asian Americans in Anglo society, using lush imagery, narrative techniques, and myth to address both cultural alienation and the trials of immigrants, including the forced internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as the anti Japanese sentiment today. SourceThis episode includes a reading of an excerpt from his poem, “Something Whispered in the Shakuhachi”.  You can find more poems like this in our Get Lit Anthology at www.getlitanthology.org .“Something Whispered in the Shakuhachi”No one knew the secret of my flutes,and I laugh nowbecause some said I was enlightened.But the truth isI'm only a gardenerwho before the Warwas a dirt farmer and learnedhow to grow the bambooin ditches next to the fields,how to leave things aloneand let the silt build upuntil it was deep enough to stinkbad as night soil, badas the long, witch-greyhair of a ghost.No secret in that.My land was no good, rocky,and so dry I had to sneakwater from the whites,hacksaw the locks off the chutes at night,and blame Mexicans, Filipinos,or else some wicked spiritof a migrant, murdered in his sleepby sheriffs and wanting revenge.Even though they never believed me,it didn't matter—no witnesses,and my land was never thick with rice,only the bamboogrowing lush as old melodiesand whispering like brush strokesagainst the fine scroll of wind.I found some string in the shedor else took a few stalksand stripped off their skins,wove the fibers, the floss,into cords I could bindaround the feet, ankles, and throatsof only the best bamboos.I used an ice pick for an awl,a fish knife to carve finger holes,and a scythe to shape the mouthpiece.I had my flutes.*When the War came,I told myself I lost nothing.My land, which was barren,was not actually mine but leased(we could not own property)and the shacks didn't matter.What did were the power lines nearbyand that sabotage was suspected.What mattered to mewere the flutes I burnedin a small fireby the bath house.*All through Relocation,in the desert where they put us,at night when the stars talkedand the sky came downand drummed against the mesas,I could hear my fluteswail like fists of windwhistling through the barracks.I came out of Camp,a blanket slung over my shoulder,found land next to this swamp,planted strawberries and beanplants,planted the dwarf pines and tended them,got rich enough to quitand leave things alone,let the ditches clog with silt againand the bamboo grow thick as history....Support the Show.Support the show

Shabaka Hutchings grew up between the UK and Barbados. He started playing clarinet as a young boy in Barbados and eventually moved back to England to go to music school in the early 2000s.  After college he began a period of working furiously on a kaleidoscopic range of projects and became an icon of the new sound of London jazz, which integrated African rhythms and modes, Caribbean and Middle eastern sounds and was largely danceable. Shabaka himself has never fully embraced the jazz label. While the music is highly improvised, and it owes much to the American jazz tradition, his influences are very broad. Over the course of the past decade, the majority of his touring and recorded work has been with three bands: Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Shabaka and the Ancestors. In these formations he displayed a fundamental approach to creative practice in different contexts spanning Afro-Caribbean fusion, London dance music club culture and the South African jazz tradition.   Part of his signature on the saxophone has been inspired by rappers, and his sound is often evocative of the human voice, conversational, expressive, and rhythmic. A somewhat chance encounter with a flute maker in Japan several years ago led him to develop an interest in the Shakuhachi flute tradition, and during covid he committed himself to the flute. Last year he announced that he would be putting away his saxophone and ending all of his bands to dedicate himself almost exclusively to playing wooden flutes. His latest release Perceive its beauty, Acknowledge its Grace (Impulse!) is his first full length album since making that transition. It's more meditative, contemplative and introspective than his earlier work. But it's still clearly Shabaka. The album features appearances by pianist Jason Moran, drummer Nasheet Waits, harpists Brandee Younger and Charles Overton, vocalists Lianne La Havas, Moses Sumney and Saul Williams, string wizard Miguel Atwood Ferguson and percussionist Carlos Niño. I talked to Shabaka earlier this year at Winter Jazzfest as he was embarking on a new adventure, both personally and musically. It was an absolutely fascinating conversation about his own creative development and philosophy, his new record, and why this historical moment is “showing the importance of slowing down, of patience, of contemplation.”   www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com/ www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story  

Question: "What advice can be offered for more effectively providing meditative peace and healing through playing Shakuhachi flute music?" Answer: Great Vigour in Flow. changing to A Yeeky thing I mentioned during this reading: the idea of a dabagua, or 'big trigram' hexagram.

This episode gets into every angle of a musical instrument you've, for sure, heard yet may not know what it's called.  Elliot Kanshin Kallen touches on the history of this Japanese flute, the emotions you can conjure from it, how it compares to other breath instruments, and, best of all, plays some notes for us a few times to make a point. We even talk a little Zen Buddhism (because it ties into the history and use of the instrument).  The angle of the mouth ... how many holes and why ... its complicated popularity and disappearance in Japanese music over the centuries ... and where it shows up now ... it's all here. This is a must-listen for fans of music and Japanese history.  For further enjoyment:  See Kallen play in this short video.  Visit Kallen's website here.  Visit the International Shakuhachi Society, where Kallen is president and archive curator, here.  If you're in Sonoma County at the right, check out the Sonoma County Matsuri, a celebration of Japanese arts and culture in California.  Kallen makes musical recommendations during this podcast, but here are a few in our conversation and some that didn't make it in:  Shakuhachi Music: A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky from Yamaguchi Goro (Nonesuch)   The Japanese Flute by Miyata Kohachirō (Nonesuch)  Anything from Kallen's friend, Riley Lee, who jokingly says, if you're in a place and hear New Age-y music with a shakuhachi, well, it's probably him (website)

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har meditation som tema. Idag hör du Pake Hall från Göteborg som utgår från sin zenbuddhistiska tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Jag rättar till kroppen och vaggar mig in i en stabil och avslappnad position, låter läpparna mötas och en mjukt öppen blick ta in rummet omkring mig. Andas in, andas ut. Öppnar upp min uppmärksamhet för just det här, utan något centrum eller någon periferi. Landar in i en stillhet som sträcker sig i alla riktningar, ett med just det här ögonblicket som det är.

A Guided Meditation On Dying by Stephen Levine. Read by Gerald Blomeyer, Shakuhachi flute improvisation by Michael McNamara, with permission of Ondrea Levine. The light body animates the heavy body. We can leave the heavy body behind and float freely as consciousness. With the first breath pure awareness re-inhabites pure form. We are born again into the body to bring mercy and healing to the injured world, taking birth for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Solénoïde (17.07.2023) - Dégustez sans modération ‘Inland Sea', l'envoûtant album de Stephan Micus qui nous offre un voyage sonore inédit entre Tadjikistan, Espagne, Maroc et Suède ! Les ingrédients sont cinq nyckelharpas percussives, une chord zither, une flûte shakuhachi et la voix majestueuse du maître. Entrez ensuite en résonance avec ‘Magnetic', album passionnant du producteur/musicien londonien Gaudi, utilisant des sons du catalogue RareNoise et des contributions d'artistes de renom tels que Bill Laswell, Colin Edwin, Steve Jansen... Ce projet audacieux dissout les frontières musicales avec un casting d'artistes talentueux. Enfin, Carl Craig, l'icône de la techno de Detroit revisitera dans son album "Versus" des joyaux classiques dans des versions révolutionnaires. Ce projet scelle l'union entre l'univers froid/mécanique de la techno underground et celui plus organique et sensible de la musique classique avec l'Orchestre des Siècles. Un véritable cadeau d'InFiné pour célébrer les dix ans du label, reflétant sa philosophie d'hybridation entre les genres.

Kiku Day is a shakuhachi player, a Ph.D. ethnomusicologist, and a world traveller from Copenhagen, Denmark. Her work lies at the intersections of performance of traditional shakuhachi music, contemporary music and improvisation, ethnomusicology, history, politics, meditation, and writing. She studied shakuhachi with Okuda Atsuya, one of the foremost performers of jinashi shakuhachi, in Tokyo, Japan for 11 years before returning to Europe to study ethnomusicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. Moreover, she is a founding member of the European Shakuhachi Society (ESS) for which she served as a chairperson from 2009-2019. She is dedicated to performing on jinashi shakuhachi, both honkyoku and contemporary music, and also teaches the shakuhachi online.In this episode of the Ikigai Podcast, Nick speaks with Kiku Day about the beneficial aspects of playing the shakuhachi and how it is more than just a musical instrument. 

In Episode 5, Andy explains to Rob the mysterious concept of Equal Temperament. Musicians, composers, scientists and instrument makers in the West, worked for hundreds of years to manipulate sound to make our concept of tonality different from all other music.

This second episode of a two-part series with Kiku Day explores shakuhachi soundings of cultural translation and peacebuilding. With the famous honkyoku piece, Tamuke, we encounter the problems of cultural translation and how a piece about passages has been problematically recast as a requiem. The episode ends with a discussion of ryu or localized schools and the sounding of the robuki wave during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Neil Wilkins discusses how to find mindfulness within music with Shakuhachi musician Adrian Freedman. As Adrian explains, there are many ways to experience music and the Buddhist traditions encourage us to listen to not only sound but the space within sound, to truly open our ears. Adrian will be performing his new album on a livestream on the evening of 25 November 2022 and a link to the live feed will appear here.

This first episode of a two-part series with Kiku Day explores shakuhachi history and how the shakuhachi is taught and learned. Central to shakuhachi are traditions of flow and the use of silence or absence through the language of ma. Recordings from Wild Ways are generously provided by the composer, performer, and record label.

Episode 80   Electronic Music for Astral Tripping Or, Better Music Through Pharmacology  Playlist Hal Blaine, “Flashes” from Psychedelic Percussion (1967 Dunhill). Drums, Hal Blaine; Electronics (Moog), Paul Beaver; Keyboards, Organ, Electric Piano, Mike Lang; Percussion, Emil Richards, Gary Coleman. 2:22 Raymond Scott, “LSD”public service announcement for the film, The Trip (1967), plus some electronic music snippets from Electronium (2007 Electronium). I'm not sure who the voice of the announcer is but the recording was produced by Raymond Scott and and I sandwiched the PSA between two snippets of Scott's electronic music. Let this be a warning to you. 1:58 Mort Garson, “Astral Projection” from Ataraxia–The Unexplained (Electronic Musical Impressions Of The Occult) (1975 RCA). Composed with an electronic music score (Moog Modular) by Mort Garson. 5:12 Pierre Henry, “Electro-Genèse” from Mise En Musique Du Corticalart De Roger Lafosse (1971 Philips). Live improvisations recorded Feb. 15-21, 1971 by Pierre Henry using Roger Lafosse's Corticalart device, allowing one to transform brainwaves into electronic signals for further raw manipulations. Technical realization by Groupe Artec (Bordeaux) with electroacoustic equipment from Apsome and J. Heuze. I thought that we needed at least one piece that tapped directly into brain waves. 7:39 Ron Jacobs, “Eating Food” and “Listening to Music” from A Child's Garden Of Grass (A Pre-Legalization Comedy) (1971 Elektra). Timely yet instantly dated, this relic capitalized on explaining marijuana to squares. The Electronic Music was by Alex Hassilev, which probably means that Paul Beaver did the synthesizer patchwork (both were involved in 1967 on the Zodiac Cosmic Sounds by Garson). 3:31 Nik Raicevik, “Methedrine” from Numbers (1970 Narco). Although Raicevik went by the name 107-34-8933 for the initial release of this record on his Narco label, it was re-released by Buddha Records under the title Head by Nik Raicevik. Buddha dropped him and Raicevik went on to create several more crazy electronic albums for his Narco label. This was primarily a Moog Modular album. 5:59 Steve Hillage, “Hurdy Gurdy Glissando” from L (1976 Atlantic). This album was produced by Todd Rundgren and featured some of his Utopia bandmates, Kasim Sulton (bass) and the mind-blowing Roger Powell on synthesizers (R.M.I. Keyboard Computer, Minimoog). But the star is guitarist Steve Hillage (Guitar, Guitar-synthesizer, ARP, EMS, Voice) and a 15th Century Hurdy Gurdy by Sonja Malkine. This is an extrapolation of the Donovan Leitch song, “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” also featured on the album. 8:54 Eberhard Schoener and the Secret Society, “Trance-Formation” from Trance-Formation (1977 Harvest). Bass Guitar, Hansi Ströer; Choir, Members Of The Tölzer Knabenchor; Guitar, Andy Summers; Keyboards, Raimund Elleder; Orchestra, Orchestra of the Munich Chamber-Opera; Percussion, Nippi; Moog Synthesizer, Organ, Piano, Mellotron, Conductor Orchestra Conducted By, Composed By, Arranged By, Produced By, Sleeve Notes, Eberhard Schoener; Vocals, Mary Gregoriy, Monks Of The Monastery of Sama. 11:42 Kitaro, “Astral Trip” from 天界 = Ten Kai / Astral Trip (1978 Wergo). Shakuhachi, Biwa, Ryusuke Seto; Sitar, Lavi; Moog, Korg, ARP, and Roland synthesizers, Koto, Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Percussion, Bass, Kitaro. Written and Arranged by Kitaro. 7:40 Ozric Tentacles, “Lull Your Skull” from There Is Nothing (1986 Self-Released). Bass, Adam Mace; Drums, Nick Van Gelder; Guitar, Keyboards, Ed Wynne; Keyboards, Joie Hinton. 3:00 Bill Nelson, “Opium” from Sounding The Ritual Echo (Atmospheres For Dreaming) (1985 Cocteau Records). "Sounding the Ritual Echo was recorded in the privacy of my own home on broken or faulty tape machines & speakers, each track possessing its own technological deformity. For this I offer no apology as the music owes its existence to a very personal & selfish obsession. As a direct result, some pieces will require a little patience.” Bill Nelson. 1:44 Michael Magne, “Trip Psychiatrique” from Elements Nº 1 "La Terre" (1978 Egg). Bongos, Percussion, Grégori Czerkinsky; R.M.I. Keyboard Computer, ARP Odyssey, ARP Omni Polyphonique, ARP 2600, and Minimoog synthesizers, Clavinet D6, Electric Piano (Fender and Yamaha, composed, adapted, arranged by Michel Magne; Drums, Syn-drums, Jean-Paul Batailley. 4:35 Pure Energy, “Spaced Out” from Spaced Out (12” vinyl) (1983 Say What!? Records). From the Netherlands. Need I say more? I'm not sure if this was about space or being spaced-out but it is definitely psychologically disorienting. This is the long version. 7:35 Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O., “Stone Stoner” from Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!!). Bass Monster Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Other Cosmic Joker, Tsuyama Atsushi; Drums, Ichiraku Yoshimitsu; Drums, Percussion, Other Sleeping Monk, Koizumi Hajime; Electric Guitar, Synthesizer, Other Dancin' King, Hiroshi Higashi; Electric Guitar, Violin, Tambura, Effects Cosmic Ringmodulator, Rds900, Synthesizer, Organ, Electric Harpsichord, Vocals, Other Speed Guru, Producer, Engineer, Kawabata Makoto; Jew's Harp, Electric Guitar, Other Erotic Underground, Magic Aum Gigi; Narrator Cosmic Narration, Other Freak Power, Wellens Johan; Saxophone, Mano Kazuhiko; Vocals, Suzuki Chisen; Vocals, Synthesizer, Acoustic Guitar, Other Beer and Cigarettes, Cotton CasinoVoice, Other Cosmos, Ginestet Audrey; Recorded at Acid Mothers Temple and FTF Studio, May to July, 2000. Yes, this is what psychedelic music should sound like. I promise to do an entire podcast around Japanese psychedelic music soon. 16:19 Opening background music: Steve Hillage, “Hurdy Gurdy Man” (edit) from L (1976 Atlantic). Steve Hillage (Guitar, Guitar-synthesizer, ARP, EMS, Voice) and a 15th Century Hurdy Gurdy by Sonja Malkine. This is a cover version of the Donovan Leitch song, “Hurdy Gurdy Man.” Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. For additional notes, please see my blog, Noise and Notations.

In this episode, you can listen to a conversation with Helene Seiyu Codjo and the sound of the shakuhachi. Helene is a shakuhachi performer, composer and teacher.   "In the single tone of the shakuhachi, the whole of nature can be heard whispering its secrets." Dean Seicho Del Bene   We talk about the first memorable concert she heard as a child (there is one recital on Spotify with Miguel Ángel Estrella); how she came to the shakuhachi and how playing the shakuhachi has also something to do with 'letting go of your ego'. Hélène shares a beautiful story about playing the shakuhachi in nature.  And we hear the Shakuchahi and a short recording outside in nature where we play together in a soundscape of birds, geese and men-made sounds.   Connect with Hélène: Website: https://hijirishakuhachi.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/lnflutes08 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shakudojo Bandcamp: https://heleneseiyu.bandcamp.com/ Blogpost about playing in nature: https://hijirishakuhachi.com/2022/02/03/playing-shakuhachi-in-nature/ More info The Power of Music Thinking is brought to you by CREATIVE COMPANION specialised in facilitating companies in making brand-minded and people-centred decisions.   Buy The Power of Music Thinking book   See the latest episode of The Power of Music Thinking

[02:03] Through the seasons, Japan is alive with Magic and wonder. The sakura blossoms of springtime give way to hot and restless summertime rains here at EPCOT's Japan Pavilion. Steam rises in soft, undulating waves, filling the air with a muggy fog that conceals us in our sanctuary. We are among thousands, yet in this place and for this moment, we experience a solitude that calms our very souls. [02:24] We are greeted by the wagakki - the traditional folk instruments that create the entrancing music we in the western world do not often experience. The glide of the Samisen, a fretless Japanese lute, is accompanied by reverberating drums and the captivating Koto, a kind of harp. [03:31] A Shinto Torii gate represents our spiritual passage from the chaos beyond and into a realm of tranquility and connection. Though we still may hear the rumblings of far-off revelry, the percussions join forces with an isolated flute to enrobe us in the fullness of this space. We are lulled by the legato of a Shakuhachi, a lilting Japanese bamboo flute. Formed in a unique shape and bearing a small piece of ivory or bone on its edge, the Shakuhachi is a derision of an 8th century Chinese instrument, trilling with a quintessentially eastern sound and pulling all who hear it into a deep reverie. [05:10] Let's wander in, past the towering pagoda - its perfect symmetry and mesmerizing layers a beacon of tradition and opulence. A staggering replica of the 7th century constructed Horyuji Temple, this 85-foot temple represents the five elements from which Buddhism teaches all is borne: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Sky. [05:44] This pavilion, more so than the others found around World Showcase, has an open courtyard flanked by lanterns and the earliest representations of Japanese architecture on either side. There is so much space to take in the majesty of our surroundings that we almost forget how much more lies within the depths of this place. Nevertheless, the rush of a distant waterfall promises restoration, and so we journey onward, forward, inward. [06:02] Footbridges of pale bamboo cross over streams and into the lush Eden of bonsai, camellias and violet. Symbols of the seasons, both of life and of nature, these bridges mark both our departure and our arrival, our leaving behind the comfort of what we knew and opening our minds to new discoveries, new epiphanies, new hope. Our seemingly endless foray leads us to a retreat of cascading waterfalls, the pools below a living canvas of delicate water lilies and graceful koi fish. Japanese maples, sturdy bamboo, and charming monkey puzzle trees offer a shady reverie as the sunshine peeking through dapples the pond where the koi swim freely with dazzling light - Komorebi. [06:40] A word untranslatable into the English language, Komorebi, like so many Japanese words, worships nature with its imagery and reverence. It refers to the balance of light and shadow sunlight creates as it wends its way through forests and trees, always finding a way to shed some of its glory on the world below. Today, we see it dance on the water, illuminating the colors of the koi fish and giving life to the water lilies perched on their pads. A balance of light and shadow, joy and serenity, revelry and reflection. [07:57] The symphony surrounding us shifts as an energetic rhythm calls extracts us from our zen reverie in the garden. The melody of sunlight dancing through the garden is too overtaken by the sudden appearance of low, gray clouds, which have almost imperceptibly overtaken the sunshine. Let us go and wander in the wake of temples and engawas...there is still much to discover Here. [12:04] In the distance, the sound of Taiko drummers extracts us from the throes of our contemplation. Synchronous and powerful, the percussionists pay tribute to the ancient traditions of their people. The echoes of Taiko drums can be heard across the centuries, on battlefields and at memorials, during festivals and spiritual ceremonies. Their thunder has been seemingly timed to announce the arrival of a summer storm. But, for now, the drummers call our attention to their rhythm, their story, the immense physical feat of their craft. We are enthralled, overtaken, brought into a narrative that holds neither nostalgia nor comprehension for us. Still, we are Here, listening intently, and for a moment, we understand. [14:55] The Matsuriza conclude with a flourish of applause from onlookers and a grateful “arigato.” The heavens seem to take this as their cue to begin their own performance, staccato raindrops painting their pattering on stone rooftops, bonsai trees, and our trusty umbrella. [16:30] Washing the garden in a refreshing, steady rain, yet another element has joined our quiet moment in the garden: water. Life-giving and purposeful, the rain seems unlikely to cease anytime soon, and so we surrender to nature's higher power, just as the temple beyond yields in reverence to the sky. [17:34] Each note of this symphony is deliberate, a melancholy and contemplative veneration of nature in which we can find true and abiding peace. [20:08] There is no disturbance but for the rain caressing each branch, leaf, and rock. A perfect lullaby in the middle of a concert, a zen escape amidst the chaos of the day. [29:10] Welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun, the place where daybreak brings renewed hope and purpose, the dawning of each new day a sign of unwavering resilience. From the rising of the sun to its setting, we hope you'll find tranquility in the joyful reverie that is this the essence of this moment. Be Here. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Well, thank you, Diane Keaton! The consensus is that despite some serious problems, we are nevertheless back in true Twin Peaks with Season 2, Episode 15, “Slaves and Masters.” This week, Colin frames the good, but not perfect, return to form with a bit called NailedIt/FailedIt; Damon examines how Keaton's directing brings us back to a “Lynchian” mode; Jennifer spotlights victim-villains, especially Evelyn and Josie; and Jonathan takes on Ben Horne, racist content, and minorities in the show. For the Twist, we go on an art walk in our favorite small town.LISTEN: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | BuzzSprout | Spotify | RSS | and more!S2, E15 NOTES:Harley Peyton (episode writer) Diane Keaton (episode director and American actor, b. 1946) Vicuña wool (wool from a vicuña… go figure)The Queen's Gambit (2020, Netflix miniseries) Ed Asner (1929-2021, legendary American actor and activist)Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks (2014, book, by Brad Dukes)Time After Time (1979, film dir. and written by Nicholas Meyer) David Warner (b. 1941, English actor)Shakuhachi flute (traditional Japanese and Chinese instrument)Richard Beymer (b. 1938, Benjamin Horne) Red Rock West (1993, neo-noir film dir. by John Dahl) JT Walsh (1943-1998, prolific American actor) West Side Story (1961, film, dir. by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins) Jonathan's article on Catherine CoulsonPatton: Lust for Glory (1970, film dir. by Franklin J.

We have a very special guest here today from Japan, Shawn Renzoh Head. Born in St. Charles, Missouri, he began his musical education at 10 where he started on viola. He was introduced to music composition quickly after and began composing for ensembles at 15. Within a year, he had music performed throughout America and Europe. At 18, he discovered a passion for the shakuhachi while traveling throughout Asia. He soon became the youngest non-Japanese shakuhachi master in history. He earned his shihan, which means master, under Michael Chikuzen Gould. In 2019, he received the distinct honor of becoming an OSS Tai Shogun, which was given to him for his work in traditional Japanese music by Ronald Watt 9th Dan Shotokan Karate and Order of the Rising Sun which is Japan's top civilian award. He also earned his bachelor's degree in composition from the Cleveland Institute of Music under Professors Keith Fitch and Steven Kohn. He was just up until recently located in Houston, but has now made the move to Japan. He performs on eight flutes crafted specifically for him by the revered flute makes, Yozan Hikichi.GuestShawn Renzoh Headwww.shawnheadmusic.com Hosts:William F.

  During the global Covid-19 Pandemic one of my favorite programs to watch on television was the Cinemax miniseries called “Warrior”. Set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the late 1870s, this amazing show, inspired by the writings of Bruce Lee, is an action packed period drama that depicts the realities of anti-Asian racial oppression along with the furious fists of Kung Fu fight scenes. One of the main characters in this exciting series is Father Jun, the leader of the City's most powerful gang or tong, played by the New York-based actor Perry Yung. His portrayal of this hard-edged and often violent leader is so captivating I began an instant fan. By an odd coincidence Yung and I just happen to have a mutual friend on Facebook. After getting acquainted online I also discovered that he is a passionate advocate for the resistance to the rise of hostility toward Asian people and the climate of hatred being perpetuated by white supremacists nationwide. As a master of the performing arts Yung uses his talents to personify prototypical roles of Asian men to give them Both depth and texture far beyond the cliched stereotypes so often presented by Hollywood. In his latest film “Boogie”, Yung plays the father of the title character, a young man who struggles with his identity as an Chinese-American basketball player with NBA aspirations at the intersection of the Black and Asian communities of the modern era. Yung and I spoke over Zoom not long before the mass murder of 6 Asian women in Atlanta. In addition to the parallels between the current state of anti-Asian sentiment of today and the violence and oppression of the past, Yung and I discussed his long career as both an actor and the maker of the traditional Japanese flute called the Shakuhachi. You can learn more about Perry Yung on his website at PerryYung.wordpress.com. In light current climate of racism and bigotry across America, I want to encourage everyone to seek out and experience cultures of every variety. Buy their art, learn their language, eat their food watch their media and demand of all those around you to stop the hate.   Music this week comes courtesy of Artlist featuring the work of Ian Post and the group Kodo. The opening was the theme music of the Cinemax series Warrior, by Reza Safinia and H. Scott Salinas.     The Joy Trip Project is possible thanks to support of Patagonia, Yeti, Seirus Innovations, Outdoor Research and a grant from the National Geographic Society.        Thanks for listening, but you know I want to hear from you.
