This will allow for some research on the book on Taiko and Japanese music.</p>
<p>We are excited about it and the opportunities that are given through this scholarship.</p>Marco Lienhardtag:marcolienhard.com,2005:Post/67916762021-10-30T11:20:12-04:002024-02-27T23:38:25-05:00Concerts<p>Some concerts were possible in Europe and some outside concerts in NYC. There will be one concert on 11/14 at 4 PM at Tenri Institute of Shakuhachi music. This concert is inside with vaccinations certificates requested.</p>
<p>We hope things are going to be easier, but it is still complicated to organize concerts in this setting.</p>

<p>Master Yokoyama just passed away in the morning of April 21st from Colon Cancer surrounded by some of his disciples and his family.
One of the greatest shakuhachi performers of our times. He premiered the piece "November Steps and Eclipse for shakuhachi and Biwa by Takemitsu Toru that made him world famous.
He was my teacher for the Wadatsumi-do style music.
His renditions of the pieces gave them a new dimension and made the songs very powerful and soulful. He will be dearly missed.
He had not been playing shakuhachi for some time now having suffered two strokes.
I feel very fortunte to have been able to study with him and learn so much from him.
As member of Taikoza i was introduced to Yokoyama Sensei in 81 by Mr Den and Furuya sensei- I was very fortunate to have been guided towards him as later on , after listening to a lot of performers, he was the one that really touched me the deepest with his playing.
RIP</p>

<p>We had a good crowd at the concert. The new compositions were very interesting too and in different styles.
From Germany we had a more baroque influenced piece. There has been talk since last year of recording some of the music and we are hoping we can find some funds to do this in a near future. If anyone knows of grants that apply to recording that would be helpful.
We also did a small presentation for Harvard Student at the Lamont Library on Saturday and had a lot fo interesting questions from students and a lot of interest some students even doing some paper on muisc buisness.</p>

<p>We just came back from Torino. Great town and theatre was also very nice. we hada great crew that helped us make it all go smoothe. sold out crowd of about 1400. We were able to meet the audience members after the show and ended up almost selling out of the CD, we did have a few left for Milano.
We also played for a tea ceremony the next day at the Asian art museum.
We also played at the Allianz Theatre in Milano about 2000 people came to see the show and this time we tiotally sold out of CDS, never expecting to sell that many in two days as people mostly download music nowadays.
We are looking forward to the rest of the tour
Note: We will be in chiasso on Ocotber 3rd at the cinema teatro</p>

<p>Matsuri in Buenos Aires.
Playing in the Japanese Garden for the Taiko Matsuri in Buenos Aires was really a thrilling experience.
I have traveled quite a lot and played in all kinds of places, but this event was quite an event.
I got to Buenos Aires thanks to the hard work of Bruno and Buenos Aires Taiko.
I was wondering if it would not be too cold to play outside, as the previous days had been very cold.
The day of the festival was a perfect day, warm and beautiful sky. I only got to see part of the festival as we were setting up for a shakuhachi concert in another part of the garden.
I heard a few groups earlier in the morning and then later in the afternoon.
I was impressed with the power and spirit of every group.
It was very exciting to see so many groups in Argentina and I am sure I only saw a few.
The audience too was very attentive and cheering the drummers.
It just felt like a very special day.
I had the chance to perform some of my songs thanks again to members of BA Taiko who learned my songs for this event. Everyone did a great job and it was great to be able to bring a different style to the city.
One of the highlights was to see all the taiko groups perform together as a finale, I played along playing the FUE and the energy was so intense that the audience seem to be thrilled and excited that when the song ended, they seemed not to want it to end and demanded another repeat of the finales, which happened with even more energy.
To see all these groups together was so emotional it gave goose bumps feeling that energy being sent in to the universe. A very memorable festival indeed</p>

Crírica sobre Marco Lienhard:
Artigo por Sr. Kishi no Jornal Hogaku, Tokyo, Japão:
“Um extraordinário tocador de shakuhachi, Marco Lienhard acabou de lançar seu novo CD, uma verdadeira amostra de talento e sensibilidade musical. Desde as interpretações de Kinko-Ryu Honkyoku do tesouro nacional Yamaguchi Goro que eu não sentia a necessidade de escutar shakuhachi. A interpretação de Marco Lienhard do Honkyoku da escola Watazumi é incrível e todos estudando este estilo deveriam ouvi-lo. Sua interpretação de Amazing Grace foi tão poderosa e tocante ao coração que me lembrou de cantoras gospel como Mahalia Jackson.”</p>

<p>http://bestof.ign.com/2006/wii/23.html
Best Original Score
Red Steel
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Paris (France)
Why It Rocked: Red Steel's ambitious soundtrack comes from famed composer Tom Salta, who has contributed works, in part or whole, to everything from the 2006 Olympics to Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Project Gotham Racing 3. His discography spans hit videogames, music, television and movies. That noted, his Red Steel soundtrack could be his best to date. The game's music was recorded using live Japanese instruments, from the Koto to the Shakuhachi, and performed by the percussion group Taikoza. Meanwhile, as players explore traditional and modern overseas environments, they will hear everything from thundering choir singers to violin solos, just as they'll encounter bits of electronica, jazz, hip hop, lounge, Japanese pop and yes, even (literally, as it happens) elevator music. The selection not only has a richness and definition often lacking in videogames, but the compositions are catchy and memorable, too. Zelda's tracks earn the game a runner-up spot, but Ubisoft's genuine recordings obliterate Nintendo's MIDI renditions.
Runners-Up:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess</p>

<p>So it seems that the Wii is a hit, the game that we recodered for is called Red Steel so check it out if you have the Wii, you will be able to hear the 6 ft taiko and bamboo flutes as well as other taiko and percussions we used for the recording- you can hear us in the parts where the swords is used and where the game bring syou to Japan.</p>
