From the recording Zen Moments (mp3)
“Zen Moments is an acoustic album that highlights the exquisite interplay of harp and clarinet. Despite being two Western instruments, the music shimmers with Far Eastern charm, due largely to the manner in which the instruments are played. Shastro's clarinet utilizes the role often dedicated to the shakuhachi flute in zen-themed albums; the clarinet has a softer, buttery smooth sound that works perfectly for
creating a sound that is calm and natural. The harp takes on a zither-like feel in the hands of
Raphael, adding to the album's enchantment. The combination makes for a quiet,
Japanese-tinged musical experience that is perfect for meditation.”
