Distributor: IDN Distribution Notes: A single flute rises from the silence like a heron from a still lake, setting the simple, quiet tone of this Grammy-nominated 2007 release. Celebrated new age keyboardist/composer Kitaro has often employed intrepid melodies and bombastic arrangements in his work, but here, as on the previous two installments of this trilogy, he opts for spare, emotive lines that evoke natural beauty and meditative stillness.
Born Masanori Takahashi, Japanese keyboard wizard Kitaro first came to prominence in the early 1970s as a member of the band Far Out, which would quickly change its name to Far East Family Band, one of Japan's first and most legendary psychedelic groups. On his own, Kitaro produces pioneering New Age synthesizer music that is atmospheric and meditative, with simple melodies unfolding at unhurried tempos. His world-famous TV soundtrack SILK ROAD led to soundtracks for other films and even a Broadway show, in addition to numerous successful Kitaro albums proper.
