Origin Music at Squam Lake

i captured this video of squam lake in northern new hampshire while standing waist deep in the water at dusk. i then played a traditional, 19th c. blowing zen piece, honshirabé, into the scene. honshirabé is composed to two ideograms: hon means "origin" and shirabé (jap. shiraberu) means "investigation". while playing this piece, a performer pursues a contemplative investigation of his or her ultimate origin. this practice is similar to the contemplation of koans in rinzai zen. the first shakuhachi note comes just after the last strike of the temple bell.
