YOHAKU - 余 | Japanese Zen Music for Deep Meditation, Inner Peace & Stress Relief

Yohaku - the empty space. In Japanese painting, the part that is left unpainted is not a gap waiting to be filled. It is what lets the one line that is there be seen at all. A temple hall late at night, swept and completely bare, with nothing set down anywhere. The far wall is a run of paper screens with a light somewhere on the other side, so the paper glows from within, and across that glow falls the shadow of a single pine branch from outside. That shadow is the only thing in the picture. Someone sits in front of it with their back to us, adding nothing and taking nothing away. Two hours of slow Japanese zen music for deep meditation, inner peace and stress relief: koto, shakuhachi flute and a single soft low drone, over the low hush of air moving through the empty hall, with the paper screen breathing once in a draught, a shutter knocking somewhere far off in the building, the old timber settling once, and at the very end the light gone, the paper grey, and the floor with nothing on it at all. Use this for meditation and mindfulness practice, for healing and deep relaxation, for inner peace and stress relief, for study, deep focus, or yoga, and for any evening when the most useful thing is not to add one more thing. It also works as gentle sleep music if you leave it playing, and as quiet music for the end of a long day. Tracks in this session - six original pieces, looping for two hours: 1. Light Across an Empty Floor 2. One Pine Shadow on Paper 3. The Space Left Unpainted 4. Where Nothing Has Been Placed 5. The Width of the Quiet 6.
