Shakuhachi pieces on transverse flute

Thanks for posting these links. I especially like the first piece, the solo flute. Interesting how folks can play Western instruments in an Eastern manner and Eastern instruments in a Western manner. Seems like the mind of the flutist shapes the form of the music, irregardless of the instrument's cultural origins. This leads me to wonder about the complex nature of the the human mind and how it interrelates to the mysterious voice of the flute.
