RILEY LEE became the first non-Japanese to attain the rank of dai shihan (grand master) in the shakuhachi tradition. He is a recipient of two of the most revered lineages of shakuhachi playing, descending from the original Zen Buddhist 'priests of nothingness' of Edo Japan. His present teacher is Katsuya Yokoyama. Riley teaches shakuhachi to over fifty students in Australia, USA, and Hong Kong. He is also noted for his 'breathing workshops', which he developed for the general public. A prolific composer for his instrument, he has also commissioned a number of composers to write new works for his shakuhachi. He has, to date, released nearly 30 recordings worldwide, many of his own compositions. |
