One of my favorite composers. Part 1 of that link is from a movie called "Woman in the Dunes" and a very out there film!

I am a fan and seem to always discover something of his which
I've seen before but had no idea the music was by him ...

Just watched Kurosawa's Ran and dug his music for the 12th time the other night ...
(it's a film I often share with friends who are willing to indulge my tastes in movies & soundtracks,,,)

thanks neill!! what i love most about takemitsu is his concert music. 'a flock descends into the pentagonal garden' is one of my favorite pieces. been getting into 'green' lately. a master.

i found that bit about defining the nature of silence through sound (or silence having it's essence in a sound) interesting. i've read this before (likely) from john cage, but the paper analogy was 'enlightening'.

anyhow, i'm glad you folks enjoyed the link.

I love Takemitsu, particularly his works for guitar. Brilliant stuff.
