New Duo Videos with Kaoru Watanabe

Happy to share the first video from our session, July 10th, 2014: Kaoru Watanabe and I improvise, featuring a beautiful hamon set (created by Teppei Saito), gong, and bells. Audio and video by John Klepko, recorded at Timpano Percussion. Stay tuned, more to come!

UPDATE:
Here is the second video in the series, Kaoru’s beautiful composition ‘Shinobu’.

UPDATE #2:
Another improvisation, custom-made frame drum (thanks to Cooperman Drums!) and shinobue, Japanese bamboo flute.

And finally a montage of several pieces, including an improvised duo of riqq and flute, an excerpt of ‘Nanafushi’ by Tetsuro Naito and Kaoru’s composition ‘Shinobu’.
