The Shakuhachi (Japanese flute) and the Koto (traditional Japanese stringed instrument) have been played together since at least the 17th Century and remain one of the most popular combinations of traditional instruments in Japan. Riley Lee and Satsuki Odamura have been playing regularly together for over a decade, this album is a collection of the duets most often performed by these two internationally acclaimed master musicians.

 " Emu"
"There is a reason that music is called the universal language. You don't need to be a native of a certain area of the world or knowledgeable about their culture to know good music when you hear it. Spoken language and customs all are put aside for a few short minutes while the melodies float through the air. This is kind of the feeling I get when I listen to Picture Dreams."
"as tranquil as it is haunting"
