In this episode, you can listen to a conversation with Helene Seiyu Codjo and the sound of the shakuhachi. Helene is a shakuhachi performer, composer and teacher.   "In the single tone of the shakuhachi, the whole of nature can be heard whispering its secrets." Dean Seicho Del Bene   We talk about the first memorable concert she heard as a child (there is one recital on Spotify with Miguel Ángel Estrella); how she came to the shakuhachi and how playing the shakuhachi has also something to do with 'letting go of your ego’. Hélène shares a beautiful story about playing the shakuhachi in nature.  And we hear the Shakuchahi and a short recording outside in nature where we play together in a soundscape of birds, geese and men-made sounds.   Connect with Hélène: Website: https://hijirishakuhachi.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/lnflutes08 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shakudojo Bandcamp: https://heleneseiyu.bandcamp.com/ Blogpost about playing in nature: https://hijirishakuhachi.com/2022/02/03/playing-shakuhachi-in-nature/ More info The Power of Music Thinking is brought to you by CREATIVE COMPANION specialised in facilitating companies in making brand-minded and people-centred decisions.   Buy The Power of Music Thinking book   See the latest episode of The Power of Music Thinking
