enso - A form of Zen Buddhist painting in which the artist draws a circle with a single motion of the brush. As there is no possibility of modification, creating an enso is a spiritual discipline in which the artist embraces imperfection as an essential aspect of existence.

"...Meditative and virtuosic, the music on Enso is both beautiful and haunting" - Alan Frank - Minor 7th

"...the searching Zen marvel ''Enso'' offers a listening experience all its own." - Mike Olcott - Portland Phoenix

"These arrangements resonated strongly with the
audience, and captured the essence of the songs much
better then many Taiwanese artists."
- National United Newspaper: Tainan,Taiwan

"Without exception, all of these songs are excellent in their own right and have been exceptionally well arranged by Nathan Kolosko who plays all the four pieces on the accompanying CD. Throughout these pages the music runs through a range of emotions: bitterness, joy, tragedy, humour, sadness and all done in the highest possible taste. Songs From Formosa is an absolutely delightful new release and one I can thoroughly recommend to any player of at least Grade 7 seeking new stylish, attractive repertoire."
Steve Marsh - Classical Guitar, September 2008
