"Ishin-den-shin (以心伝心) is a Japanese idiom which denotes the interpersonal communication through unspoken words and mutual understanding, between minds and hearts.

Three musicians from different countries (Norway, Japan, USA) are meeting in this musical collaboration. Wind through bamboo, body of tree bending harmonics in the quiet forest, bird in the distance, slow ancient footsteps on the earth, a branch snapping,... Through instant composition, they are weaving the music beyond categories and styles, delivering the whispers of nature, in "ishin-den-shin."
