I have always thought of shakuhachi music as the ultimate breath
sculpture. Duke Ellington said "if it sounds good, it <i>is</i>
good". The shaku as an instrument is a mirror of your state of
being, and will tell you (and the rest of the world) right away if you're
breathing right. This biofeedback is so much better than somebody else's
words, that if you just concentrate and listen to the sound sculpture you
are making your breathing will get educated in the process.<br><br>
At least, that's the way it might be in an ideal world! Autrement dit
keep puffin' and it'll come.<br><br>
