INTRO: The cherry blossoms are long gone here in California, but
in Japan they bloom famously from early March through the end of
April. It reminded us that it's been six years since we've done
a program of Chinese and Japanese spacemusic, an omission we're
going to fix on this edition of Hearts of Space.
Traditional Chinese and Japanese music goes back several thousand
years, with hundreds of regional styles and dozens of exotic-
sounding string, wind, and percussion instruments, like the _pipa_
(a four stringed lute), the violin-like _erhu_, and the end-blown
bamboo flute called the _shakuhachi_, used by Buddhist monks for
meditation. It's a tradition that's been challenged in the dynamic
environment of modern China and Japan, but there are dedicated
native and western artists working to transform it for the
21st century.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, contemplative sounds from
the edge of Asia, on a program called PATH TO STILLNESS.
