Additional Information

This is a collection of pieces written for Joe Lee, scored for shakuhachi and string quartet.

In writing this collection of pieces, I explore these sentiments and hunches further, and I look into my own visions of Japan — how have I come to understand Japanese aesthetics through the arts? Like a blind person having paintings described to them, or a disabled person viewing pictures and hearing field recordings from far-away wilderness, I have acquired a set of imagined visions of Japan. While these visions perhaps bear some truth in relation to how Japan actually is, in the end, they are perhaps a reflection of my own personal aesthetics; the elements in my own tastes, experiences, and aesthetic choices, which resonate in my encounters with Japanese culture and aesthetics.
