The centrepiece of the album is a 40 minute piece in six parts called "Revolving Life", in which the sound of the sho is combined with samples of bells, bubbling water, birds and insects. The closing track features the sho alongside the Ondes Martenot (an electronic instrument from the 1920s, which blends surprisingly well with the tone of the sho), but the two remaining pieces have a more traditional Japanese feel to them, with the ethereal sound of the sho and its sparse, often stark, harmonies.
