about

This track is a trio for shakuhachi with yangqin (Chinese hammered dulcimer) and erhu (Chinese two-string fiddle). It was recorded in Nara, Japan with the Japanese musicians Esoh and Ema, founder members of the group Yurai.

Ema is also a singer, known in Japan as the ‘Rainbow Voice’. She is a pioneer of the use of the erhu outside of its usual context of Chinese folk music. Esoh is well known in Japan as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, music producer and inventor of original instruments made from wood and stone. Adrian first performed with Esoh and Ema in Kyoto, 1991 and in March 2018 the next chapter of their collaboration will continue with a concert and recording on Awaji Island in Japan.
