Ichi on Buttsu - One sound Enlightenment Ichi on Buttsu - One sound Enlightenment CD Seldin, Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Lyrichord Discs Inc. LYRCD 7436
His first Lyrichord CD, Nyogetsu Seldin sumptuously plays seven traditional, and one original composition on several shakuhachis of different lengths. Ichi On Buttsu is a peerless collection of traditional shakuhachi performance, a disc which quite possibly demonstrates the most profound link between music and the ancient Eastern journey toward enlightenment.
