Voice of Bamboo
A frustrating airy blow on my yuu plastic shakuhachi with sincere and very kindly, generous Frenchman, David Liefermann, also a photographer with a beautiful Persian cat. The painful seiza position on the floor was most memorable. He runs the Voie de Bambu - French chapter of the way of bamboo, about 20 players, including many of his students. I think he was suspicious that I was only interested in shakuhachi to augment my composition practice. I don’t count this as my first lesson simply because I still couldn’t produce a sound afterwards and it was not until ASF in January ’06 that I attempted in earnest.
