This is the first album by Larkin Stentz, a flutist from San Francisco, the birthplace of the New Age, released in 1978 on his own private label, Wind Sung Sounds. side A is titled "Journey Through Bamboo", and the simple but soft and warm sound of the recorder and the withering sound of the bamboo flute soak into your heart. Side B, titled "Silver Meditation," is deeply intoxicating with the expansive sound of brass flute. Both are extremely simple sounds, but they are beautiful sounds that make Japanese people feel nostalgic, and they are deep new age meditation music that approaches the essence of human nature. Please listen to them while lighting candles in the dark.
