    RR-14 INFLUENCE 25 December 1968 28 Uguisud ani-machi Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Mr. Richard NolZe Institute of Current World Affairs 535 Fifth Avenue New York, N.Y. 10017 Dear Dick With over two years of residency in Japan, we are thought of as "knowledgeable" on a broad range of Japanese phenomena. This only by virtue of the fact that we have slightly more experience than those who have not visited this contradictory land of urgency and restraint. The most frequent qUestion addressed to me, as a composer, during our recent travel in the United States was "how has your work been influenced by Japanese music?" It was an irritating and difficult question for several reasons, foremost of which was my aversion for the practice of deliberately "adopting" influences (as opposed to the conviction that diverse influences naturally assimilated are an honorable resource that ought to be more regularly drawn upon). My response to the question usually be,an something like, "what do you mean, 'influence'?" as though the questioner suspected something intentional on my part. There are at least three or four composers whose economic positions have been enhanced by exotic materials that they adopted in calculated fashion during an artificially brief acquaintance. My instinct is to avoid the implication, however remote, and, in any case, I am inhibited from such practices by a musical style that does not depend on melodies or rhythms of any sort. There are, of course, other less obvious materials, "influences," that one might commandeer', exotic instruments, unfamiliar instrumental or vocal styles| esthetic attitudes; forms; and so on.

  • The Shakuhachi and the Ney: a Comparison of Two Flutes from the Far Reaches of Asia
    1 The Shakuhachi and the Ney: A Comparison of Two Flutes from the Far Reaches of Asia Daniel B. RIBBLE English Abstract. This paper compares and contrasts two bamboo flutes found at the opposite ends of the continent of Asia. There are a number of similarities between the ney, or West Asian reed flute and the shakuhachi or Japanese bamboo flute, and certain parallels in their historical development. even though the two flutes originated in completely different socio-cultural contexts. One flute developed at the edge of West Asia, and can be traced back to an origin in ancient Egypt, and the other arrived in Japan from China in the 8 th century and subsequently underwent various changes over the next millenium. Despite the differences in the flutes today, there may be some common origin for both flutes centuries ago. Two reed·less woodwinds Both flutes are vertical, endblown instruments. The nay, also spelled ney, as it is referred to in Turkey or Iran, and as the nai in Arab lands, is a rim blown flute of Turkey, Iran, the Arab countries, and Central Asia, which has a bevelled edge made sharp on the inside, while the shakuhachi is an endblown flute of Japan which has a blowing edge which is cut at a downward angle towards the outside from the inner rim of the flute. Both flutes are reed­ less woodwinds or air reed flutes. The shakuhachi has a blowing edge which is usually fitted with a protective sliver of water buffalo horn or ivory, a development begun in the 17 th century.

  • Ventus Series: Tin Whistle
    Ventus Series: Tin Whistle An Impact Soundworks Library Designed by Constructive Stumblings | Performed by Josh Plotner ​ ​ ​ Scripted by Nabeel Ansari and Andrew Aversa ​ Instrument v1.00 OVERVIEW ​ Our Ventus Series of ethnic woodwind instruments began with the Japanese Shakuhachi, and continues in this ​ ​ installment with a journey to Europe and the wonderful Tin Whistle, most closely associated with the Emerald Isle ​ ​ ​ itself - Ireland. This gorgeous instrument, a type of recorder, has origins dating back tens of thousands of years and has found its place squarely in the heart of Celtic music among other things. Its pure tone is also instantly recognizable in some of the most beloved soundtracks of all time, such as Howard Shore’s score to the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. ​ ​ Much like the Ventus Shakuhachi, our Tin Whistle is sampled in meticulous depth with a wide variety of ​ ​ articulations, ornaments, and phrases to inspire your music and creativity. Use it for soaring, agile solo performances or slow, flowing and emotive parts; it works just as well! Of course, the instrument also includes our Total Articulation Control Technology (TACT), unifying and ​ ​ simplifying the process of creating your own personal mapping setup for the instrument. We hope you enjoy our Ventus Series Tin Whistle! ​ ​ INSTALLATION ​ 1. Install the Pulse application if you don’t already have it. Pulse is a cross-platform desktop app that lets you ​ ​ ​ ​ download and install your libraries with blazing speed! https://pulsedownloader.com/ 2. Once Pulse is installed, open it and enter your Ventus Tin Whistle download code. Follow the instructions to ​ ​ download and install the library.

  • Wye---A-History-Of-The-Flute.Pdf
    A History of the Flute Trevor Wye 1. Whistles What a daunting prospect to write a simple flute history without missing anything. Looking at a pamphlet a few years ago, it stated that in the South Pacific Islands, those tiny islands south of Hawai, there are about 1300 different named flutes. Our modern flute is just one of thousands of flutes worldwide of all shapes and sizes from miniature ocarinas to giants like the Slovakian Fujara. A sensible way to begin would be to understand how flutes are made to emit sound and so we will look at the four main varieties. These are Endblown where the player blows across the end of the tube; Sideblown as in our modern flute; a Fipple or encapsulated such as is found in a referee's whistle and a Globular flute such as in ocarinas and gemshorns. In all cases, the air is directed against a sharp edge which causes the air to alternate between entering the tube where it meets resistance, then shifting to going outside the tube. This alternation takes place at great speed causing the air inside the tube or vessel to vibrate and so make a sound. In the endblown flute shown below, the tube is held upright and the air directed across the cutaway top of the tube. The fipple flute is sounded by the player directing air through a tube or windway against the sharp edge. An example is the recorder and the pitch is changed by covering the holes down the tube in succession. Globular flutes are sounded either by blowing across a hole or via the fipple which is connected to the 'globe' shown above, though the way the instrument responds is unlike the whistle; the notes can be changed by uncovering any hole, no matter in what position it is placed.
