【New Video Release: Spiritual Flute Improvisation “Love & Cosmos”】
Greetings to all seekers of sound. I have just uploaded a new live archival video.
This is a raw, uninterrupted 10-minute free improvisation captured live in Kitakyushu, Japan, on April 26, 2026. This time, I put down the tenor saxophone and channeled everything through a single flute.
Guided by my current spiritual vision, "Love & Cosmos," this performance is an exploration of the absolute limits of the instrument. Through overtones, multiphonics, and the raw energy of breath, I attempted to strip away conventional music theory and connect directly with the cosmic creative force—carrying the lineage of spiritual giants like John Coltrane into a new dimension.
It is a document of a singular moment where sound, space, and spirit collided.
Dive into the cosmos with me. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
