KINKAKU-JI
Meditation for Flauto Alto and Vibraphone with gong
In the late 1990s I visited Japan. Something that made a strong impression on me was the Japanese gardens who breathed meditation and inner peace.
The original Japanese religion, Shinto, is based on the worship of nature spirits and therefore everything in a Japanese garden - plants, rocks and water – has a spiritual meaning and represent something beyond their physical shape.

About the composer +
-
Daniel Berg is a Swedish composer, musician and professor in classical percussion. He combines the role of writing music with being a versatile musician and teaches solo percussion and chamber music at the University College of Music in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Örebro in Sweden.
In his passion to promote the marimba as a solo- and chamber music instrument, Daniel has worked intimately with a number of composers who have written original music for the instrument. This includes more than 250 world premieres for solo and chamber works. Daniel Berg is an artist of Bergerault Marimbas and Elite Mallets.
As a composer Daniel has written a lot for percussion published by Edition Svitzer like his Kroumata for percussion sextet, Images for Percussion Duo and Yán Jiāng (Magma) for solo marimba - a commission from the Taiwan World Percussion Competition 2020.
