Japanese Mysteries

Japanese Mysteries Reviews

Recorded in Tokyo and Osaka Japan, this album is the result of Ron's extensive studies of Japanese music in which he unveils the mysteries of this fascinating culture. This CD features two tracks with traditional Japanese music (Heavenly Music and Winter Night) and 6 original Ron Korb Japanese music compositions. Each track is about a unique aspect of Japanese history or folklore that is described in the CD liner notes. Traditional Japanese instruments like the koto, shakuhachi, shinobue, ryuteki, and shamisen are blended beautifully with western keyboards and acoustic instruments.

This album was number 2 on HMV's New Age Best Of 1993.

This CD is a wonderful journey through the majestic Australian Daintree Rainforest with beautiful flute improvisations by Ron Korb. Featured instruments are the bass flute, the native flute, panpipes and the Chinese bawu. This album follows the span of one day from dawn until dusk with amazing pristine nature sounds expertly recorded by well known Australian artist Ken Davis. The forest truly comes alive and is underscored perfectly with the deep sounds of the flute. This album is excellent as a background for yoga, tai chi, massage or just relaxing at the end of an evening.
