月 TSUKI by Bronwyn Kirkpatrick - Shakuhachi
The compositions on this album came about as a response to my shakuhachi students’ needs to have melodious and accessible pieces to practise, as a respite from the beautiful but sometimes challenging honkyoku (traditional Zen Buddhist pieces).
Tsuki is also a meditation CD in its own right and can be used to support all forms of relaxation. The scores for these compositions are available in kinko notation and can be purchased from my website http://bronwynkirkpatrick.com/?page_id=774.

This recording was made in the beautiful Kindlehill Performance Space, Blue Mountains, Australia. At times you may be able to hear subtle natural sounds from the environment ... rain pattering on the roof, crickets quietly droning at dusk. All part of a moment captured in time. I hope you enjoy it!
