bzzzzt. I think that's the hichiriki you're talking about. Sho is used throughout the other tune with the heavy drums. I hate my sho though. It smells bad and since sho is like a harmonica, you breat out, and IN! So I have to breath in that wierd smell (smells like something from an attic) everytime! yick!
But anyway, there's really something different about this tune.. the melody? It's quite funny ya know, cuz I spend all these years studying a bunch of technical stuff.. mechanics of music and all that. And it turns out that something THIS simple, is so far my biggest composition project.
And the simplest things, are sometimes the hardest things.. and maybe that's where experience and long studies are playing an important role. Dunno, this is just one of those once every few year tunes where the tune kind of teaches me. And that feeling, is sort of what goes into my flute.. ah, I'm starting to sound "artsy". hehe. But obviously, this tune is pulling me into such a realm. Simple things are cool, once in a little while.
Simplest is the most complex? Or the other way around? Man, I'm really getting into this "wa" business, I'm starting to sound like a monk.
