Historical recordings made between 1956 and 1989 - Notes by Georges Goormaghtigh
Mrs Tsar Teh-yun (1905-2007) was not only a poet and calligrapher, but a fervent musician and eminent teacher. She devoted much of her long life to teaching the qin, the antique seven stringed zither, at a time when the heritage of the ancient culture was threatened with extinction in China. This refined, demanding music, seen by the literati as a path to self-awareness, has here been recorded by her pupils in the very place where it was taught, the Yinyin Study, "The room of the unfathomable virtue of the qin."

Ambient/Traditional Flute Music from Japanese Shakuhachi Master Teruhisa Fukuda


The shakuhachi is an end-blown bamboo flute with one dorsal and four frontal holes and a bevelled notch as mouthpiece. There are two elements in the name of the instrument: shaku refers to an ancient measurement which is the equivalent of 30,3 cm; hachi means eight. Originally shakuhachi thus refers to a flute that measures 1,8 shaku, that is, 54,5 cm.

For this CD, 2LP Master Fukuda chose a series of seven pieces from a repertoire dating back to the seventeenth century. These were originally performed by monks belonging to the Fuke sect of zenBuddhism, who viewed their instrument as means for meditation. The seven pieces are destined to be played solo, in the spirit of zen.

Teruhisa Fukuda
Born in 1949, Teruhisa Fukuda is an eminent artist who has explored a vast range of musical techniques from, both, traditional and contemporary music.
