A Glinting Edge of Sky presents a rich scoring in the traditional pairing of shakuhachi and koto . At turns spacious, lyrical, agitated, calm and reflective, the music suggests a passing beauty just beyond reach.

 

“Even at nearly ten minutes, A Glinting Edge of Sky sings intensely. [The instruments] play their own material at what seems like an illusion of each player’s independent pace. Yet the two strains fit each other. The score has the concentration of a haiku.”
