Ludi Kahoo

Benzaiten is a Japanese Buddhist goddess, who originated from the Hindu goddess Saraswati. Worship of Benzaiten arrived in Japan during the 6th through 8th centuries, mainly via the Chinese translations of the Sutra of Golden Light, which has a section devoted to her. She is also mentioned in the Lotus Sutra and often depicted holding a biwa, a traditional Japanese lute, just as Saraswati holds a veena. Benzaiten is a highly syncretic entity with both a Buddhist and a Shinto side.

Tara

original piece. wait for the lyrics....,
The lyrics came quickly, purely as a poem. No melodic influence. When I decided to make a song I took a totally prerecorded, unrelated piece and made up the melody and laid the words in...  a perfect fit.

This piece is the result of a collaboration with Toto Tobass from Berlin. We passed an idea back and forth, ping pong style, until we felt it was done. I call it "Composer Ping Pong."

Tiptoe Through a Nightmare to the Dawn

Music! "Don’t worry about saving these songs
And if one of our instruments breaks
It doesn’t matter
We have fallen into the place where everything is music

The strumming and the flute notes rise into the atmosphere
And even if the whole world’s harp should burn up
There will still be hidden instruments playing

Stop the words now
Open the window in the center of your chest
And let the spirits flow in and out.
- RUMI
