Switchboard Music Festival 2012 on April 1 in San Francisco at the Brava Theater.
Cornelius Boots and Philip Gelb both performing on 2.4 shakuhachi, originally this piece was composed (by Boots) for 2 Taimu shakuhachi. Studio version on the album available here: http://www.cdbaby.com/corneliusboots
In the Fall of 2009, in the middle of my year-long mukyoku composition work, Chikuzen Sensei led a trip of 6 shakuhachi students and some of their pals/spouses to Japan. We went to the choicest Temples in and around Kyoto and Nara; stayed for 2 days in Mineyama with Taniguchi Sensei for a shakuhachi intensive; played with Chieko, sankyoku masters and students; visited multiple hot springs and baths, and ate amazing food made by monks, nuns (at Sanzen-in), and a young master chef (at Café Millet). This piece is inspired by the pair of huge wooden statues, Niou Temple Guardians, Agyo and Ungyo, guarding the entrance to Todaiji in Nara. They represent the primordial syllables AH and OM: yin and yang; inhale and exhale; birth and death. Known as Kongorishiki, Niou, or Vajrapani, they are two wrath-filled and muscular guardians of the Buddha, in the form of frightening wrestler-like statues. These are some of the finest wooden sculptures in Japan from the 13th century, carved by Unkei in 1203. In this duet, they come to life and encounter each other on stage.
The creation of each of the three mukyoku duets utilized a different compositional approach. This piece is the only duet to have no phrases borrowed from the solo mukyoku in it: it was composed completely as its own piece. This is a programmatic piece: it is a sound illustration of the statues/deities coming to life and interacting on a big stage (everything in Todaiji is huge).
Naturally, a duet for Taimu needed to be inspired by giants and not by cranes, deer, frogs or crickets. As huge statues standing still for centuries, it takes them awhile to get moving: the first ten lines are the introduction. After they are in sync, there is a kind of cosmic sumo dance before they settle back into their own frozen positions for another 1000 years.
This is an original duet for Taimu shakuhachi, although it can be played on any two same-sized flutes to great effect.
"mukyoku" is the name of the pieces written specifically for Taimu shakuhachi, which is like the cello/trombone/Barry White of the shakuhachi world. The Taimu excels at achieving a tone that is very earthy and glowing at the same time as projecting more than older style large Zen bamboo flutes (hocchiku, kyotaku for instance.)
Taimu are made by Mujitsu Shakuhachi in San Francisco and more information about Taimu and mukyoku can be found on this website:

Cornelius Boots is an East Bay reed renegade known primarily as the leader and composer of the world's only original bass clarinet quartet, Edmund Welles. He has been dabbling in shakuhachi for over 11 years: he recently attained his jun shihan (associate teacher) certification and received the shakuhachi name 深禅 "Shinzen" (depth Zen or deep Zen) and is now getting goal-oriented and seeking his shihan (teaching license) from his teacher, Michael Chikuzen Gould.
