  1. Joe Caudwell

    An incredible debut. Breath is a beautiful concept… Three talented souls creating gorgeous music using flute, didgeridoo and beatbox. This album is so atmospheric and calming. Some of the tracks are upbeat and pacey, while the rest of the tracks make perfect soundscapes for meditating and relaxing. Reo’s beatboxing is stunning, he gets so many different, crazy sounds including fat bass lines, heavy beats and ethereal bird calls…incredible. Sanshi is a versatile and accomplished didgeridoo player, known and respected around the globe. And Anne’s flute playing is hauntingly beautiful. A very spiritual album, can’t stop listening to it.

    I love your album. The sound, the photos and the poetry beautifully fit together for each tune and they give me inspirational and imaginative feeling that is even changing every time I listen. Full of freedom.

  3. Adam Wojcinski

    The shakuhachi and didge are woven together like tantric lovers… Sacred! is very hard hitting, but extremely infectious and you just want it to keep going. THIS F%@#*ING ALBUM IS MENTAL! It’s the sex of the earth, wind and sea. It rips you out of the shallows, and puts you right in the depths of nature with a big reverence stick.

  4. Hiroshi Sugihara

  5. Laura Peden

    It’s a beautiful CD. The recording quality is amazing – it’s like you’re right here in my kitchen. Your music has the effect of making me slow down and de-stress.

  6. Anda Banikos

    Your Ocean Breath CD is a delight … haunting, ancient and free. The moments of stillness are perfectly timed. You are gifted musicians.
