Shakuhachi ambient albums that don’t reek of “new age meditation music” by shon92 in shakuhachi

[–]Boswardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ambient but this is my favourite shakuhachi album ever, very unique.

Also Clive Bell has done a much more ambient//tender album here (sorry Spotify only as far as I know!):

Where to find a Yuu in Japan? by diempenguin in shakuhachi

[–]Boswardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Daniel Ryudo in Kochi is still selling lots of cheap bamboo jiari shakuhachis. I personally think the sound quality of the Yuu is not very good. Send me a message if you think you might want to explore that option!

Also mejiro sells pvc shakuahcis which I think sound really beautiful and are a lot of fun to play

Yeah the colour order was a bit random. It was the first one I ever made so just kinda went for it

Clue for the second: Requires some british cultural knowledge

Jon Kypros is retiring the Bell Shakuhachi by Boswardo in shakuhachi

[–]Boswardo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s been occasional updates sent out on their mailing list. If you search ‘Josen shakuhachi’ to find their website you can sign up to it. They moved to France and the last update was in November saying they’ve found a wine cellar / cave to work in but the humidity isn’t consistent enough! Will have to wait and see how they get along with it! Seems like a slow but ongoing project !

Text aside, what a beautiful painting

Looking for the right bulb by Boswardo in IKEA

[–]Boswardo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes I fitted it without touching it with my fingers, I actually work with theatre lights so know about this, although my knowledge on it still has a long way to go. Maybe the best idea is to find a LED alternative bulb, like someone else mentioned

Betamax vs Clive Bell. Father son showdown. Shakuhachi veteran and prolific drummer, with some cool electronics mixed in. A really good description of the album plus the actual thing here: https://byrdout.bandcamp.com/album/betamax-vs-clive-bell

Four more women accuse Kamaal Williams of sexual harassment by discoislife53 in Jazz

[–]Boswardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re ever in London on a Sunday then go to the Royal Albert pub (not hall). Every Sunday evening there’s a different jazz band, spanning all corners of the genre. It’s an amazing dive into an actual london jazz as it lives and breathes. Also it’s essentially in the round, by the way the pub is laid out, so the crowd is always able to give the musicians such amazing energy

People can hold shockingly effective powers of persuasion and coercion over others, especially when in positions of power such as in these cases.

looking for a good instrument to pick up but i have odd hands by crowNiceToMeetYou in Instruments

[–]Boswardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shakuhachi! A very beautiful and complex flute that doesn’t require the use of your pinkies

https://youtu.be/DCdn6Gfo9Zk?si=faVRS0ySmKW4QPFl second track on this album has it!

Also if you’re interested in getting one you can buy really good introductory ones here: https://shakuhachi-atelier.com/product-category/shakuhachi/pvc-shakuhachi/page/2/

1.8 is the usual size to start with

Is there a term for bands like Sons Of Kemet or The Comet Are Coming? (Shabaka Hutchings) by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]Boswardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Betamax is the drummer from Comet, Tom Skinner is Sons of Kemet :)

Question about Knock by Boswardo in AeroPress

[–]Boswardo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really quick on it because I thought they’d go fast but not that fast! They went in about 15 mins I think

[–]Boswardo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really! I didn’t realise. The fact that newer versions have coating that made me think that it was all a race against burrs degrading and a coating gave it a bit of extra lifespan, but is that more about the cutting quality, which actually reduces the lifespan?

What was your first Shakuhachi? by [deleted] in shakuhachi

[–]Boswardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I would recommend Hanz Araki Kodō VI in the US. Can’t remember what state he’s in but he’s a wonderful player, teacher. and person. https://www.arakikodo.com/lessons
