Greetings all.
I had the great pleasure to do a recording of shakuhachi (Jeff Cairns), 20 string koto (Izumi Fujikawa) and gendai haiku (Jim Kacien) at the Mifune Concert Hall, Mifune, Kumamoto, Japan a couple of weeks ago. It will be a part of a documentary film being made by Slovenian film maker Dimitar Anakiev. We did two different takes of koto, shakuhachi and haiku reading as well as a short 2.4 solo by myself. The gendai haiku was composed and read by Red Moon Press owner, Jim Kacien (http://www.redmoonpress.com/). For any interested, downloads of all three recordings engineered by Richard Gilbert are available here ( http://www.iyume.com/Mifune-Concert-Hall/ ) as well as some photos taken during the recording. The first recording was done with Izumi and I interpreting the haiku as read by Jim. The second was done with Izumi and I improvising without concern for Jim's haiku and he reading the haiku in where he felt it would best go. The 2.4 solo is just me noodling. I'd welcome any comments.
Best to all,
Jeff
