This new series of ambient music is specifically composed and produced by Ingo Ito for those listeners, who want to create for themselves an athmosphere of tranquility – ideal for contemplation and meditation or just relaxing from the daily rush.

In Zen Hanami, each piece of music is sculptured by some distinctive musical loops playing in harmony. A pool of sound - repeated like an endless mantra. But with each loop having its individual length, it is a constantly changing soundscape - it seems the same, but it´s always different.

The japanese word "Hanami" literally means "flower viewing". Since many centuries it has been the traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers in nature, mainly during the cherry blossom season.

An ocean of blossoms, gently moving in the spring wind -
a beautiful picture to accompany the music.

After Volume 1 of this series successfully started in 2007, Volume 2 is now available. You´ll find previews here or direct in the shop.

The "Reflection" albums by Zen Hanami present re-arranged and re-mixed short versions of the original 15 minutes tracks of the "Volume" series. Reflection 1 is now available.
