[Taigu]

A real strange discovery..

Sandokai is a work written by a composer who happens to be also a Zen priest and has composed pieces based on Renaissance polyphony using Dogen's texts...Click on sandokai and select the piece you would like to listen to.

Wow :shock:
That is not a common thing... but what a great idea and practice... far beyond cultures, religions, ... very nice indeed!
And Antwerpen (Anvers) is a lovely city... maybe I'll go listen to it... but I havn't seen new dates on their schedule...

Anyway, thank you for sharing Taigu,

HOLY GUACAMOLE!

Now those are some really interesting sounds to listen to. Far beyond cultures indeed.

I just listened to all the samples and it's just amazing.

I have always liked the original sound of sutras and chanting, but this is a whole new approach.

Thank you very much, Taugu-san.
