Title: Yawn...
Review: Zen meditation could be called a state of heightened awareness (although that's not quite accurate). This music induces here a state of heightened drowsiness. Although not unpleasant to listen to by any means, I do find it rather sleep-inducing and hypnotic -- a bit too serious, and dare I say, almost boring?If you want to actually do zazen, no music is necessary or particularly helpful... pay attention to the breath and be aware of thoughts arising. Otherwise, this music could be interesting to listen to purely as a sort of relaxation or enjoyment -- from that basis, it's not bad... if you like improvisational stuff (is it 'art'?). A step further in the direction of "interesting" might include Riley Lee, Uttara-Kuru, Kokin Gumi, even Kitaro...
