FEATURED VIDEO 01: 03:45. New York as Theme Park: New York as portrayed in another way. VIDEO 02: 10:18. 4 String Music: Mountain Dulcimer: I wanted to let go of my ambition, and sense of competition. I set aside my guitar, and made musical sounds in some other way. The mountain dulcimer was a new instrument for me, and I gave it a try. It has Appalachian, Celtic, and Scottish roots. I started to strum at it. The idea is to make a sound that calms and relaxes. I hope you like this recording.
VIDEO 03: 38:28. Background: Improvised, experimental sounds by: Toru Hoshino (bass), and David Rapoport (guitar). This recording was born, mostly out of the unknown. This was our experience. Recorded indoors, 2016. Video efx. I hope that you enjoy this recording.
VIDEO 04: 56:49. OSTODA 3: We played into a digital tape recorder. This trio is Osamu Fukuzaki (piano), David Rapoport (guitar), and Toru Hoshino (bass). We made sounds that were unplanned (improvisation). The tones and colors are reminiscent of ancient Sanskrit Bhajans. It is live, in the rehearsal room, and was recorded, 2016. I hope that you enjoy this a/v work.
VIDEO 05:
05:15. A Prayer: Art is an excellent way to express one's feelings. What I cannot say in words, I communicate with a song. This work mostly about the past. I wrote it when I was 15. It is also in my thoughts now: since it was more recently rearranged and recomposed (2010). It is about the limitations of time. I remember the days in high school (written 1975), when we played this song, and other ones, for young people, in neighboring schools. (2009) I joined the Satsang, playing Sanskrit Bhajans at: Art of Living, European International Center, Bad Antogast, Germany. This fantastic experience inspired me to create this version: recorded in one take. Jai GuruDeva.

CONCLUSION:
For me, art is all about: wisdom, wonder, total fulfillment, and the beyond. Devotion, Grace, and feelings connected within What does the unknown contain? Creativity and intuition exist in most It is like seeing in an other light. This is my experience. I am very thankful.
