Abstract

Music is certainly I am facing the display of my computer right now. Beside me is a traditional Japanese instrument called the sho, which has more than 1,300 years of history in Japan, and even more if we trace its roots in China. As a performing musician, it is apparent to me that breathing is a primary action necessary to create sound in the sho. Because the sho makes sound when I breathe in and out, the sound itself is like breathing. In this way, life information is transformed into sound. Creating computer music is also relevant to breathing. Just as all creatures naturally breathe, computers absorb a variety of ideas and emit them as music. Computers, when they have the capability of making sound, need air motion-a kind of breath-to transform sound into music. This highlights the basic principle that breathing is crucial to the essence of music.
