Duet for Bass Koto and Songbird is composed of a series of poems from myself along with music from makiko goto and her song bird...in her own words: "The music/composition, Jûshichigen-No-Umare (birth of the bass koto), what you used is one of the best my repertoire by the Japanese composer/Makoto Shinohara. I occasionally play in the concert, also recorded by the German radio station. I am sure Mr. Shinohara would like your work with it.What I always have mind about you is I appreciate your approach to the koto music and instrument with me. The traditional repertoire is the most value for the koto instrument..."
