On a journey through the tide of impermanence, in this sonic Koan, we capture the notes of silence and, between each one, its echo. Flowers of Emptiness opens the door to a slow fire and here, as we burn, we become presence.

Flowers of Emptiness is an exercise in minimalism, desired with the intensity of a mantra. Inspired in equal parts by Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Japanese architectural minimalism and Terry Riley’s sonic mandalas, both seek to embody the cosmic void of Dōgen’s poetry, the guiding thread of this album.
