Deep Echoes of Stillness originated with a commission I was given by Richard Rudd from the Gene Keys project. I composed and recorded the original piece for solo shakuhachi, and this can be heard on the Zen Stillness Music Set for Yoga and Relaxation.
I later came back to the piece and created a second shakuhachi part in harmony with the original, turning the piece into a slow-moving duet.
This brings up an image of two souls gently dancing around each other like branches of a tree in the moonlight, deeply harmonised and fully present in the heart. The music represents a space of deep stillness, with gentle movement and flow.
