Major Composers influenced by traditional shakuhachi music
Hi,
could you please, hint upon which major composers were influenced by traditional shakuhachi music? I know John Cage was, who is next?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. I am especially particularly interested in western composers where the cultural gap was bigger. Did anyone even compose for the shakuhachi?
I should probably do the research myself (which I will) but if you have any more info, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Marek
