On December 8th we enjoyed a talk about cultural and musical "crossover" and short koto and shakuhachi crossover demonstrations of Indian music played on traditional Japanese instruments by TM (Tim) Hoffman.
Based on his living in Japan and long years of experience in India he spoke of the differences between Sanskrit/Indian languages and Japanese and between the music traditions. To simplify his complex argument he explained how and why the greater number sounds in Indian language and raga and above all the freedom and challenges of improvisation could be incorporated into Japanese education not just in music but across the board.
