As the first Westerner to attain the rank of Grand Master of the shakuhachi flute, Riley Lee has gained international acclaim for his ability to express the meditative mind as music. Here, Lee offers you ancient and modern compositions that capture the essence of our experience of water — from the expansive sense of peace that comes from listening to the rhythm of the surf to the serenity we feel when we gaze out over a mirror-smooth lake. A melodic, soothing album that is perfect for meditators, healing practitioners, and anyone seeking deep relaxation. And, of course, shakuhachi lovers.
