Tibetan Bells 2

Product Description Tibetan Bells II is the outcome of years of study, travel, and experiment by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, two musicians resolutely in quest of the "sound between the spaces." Bringing together musical elements never before associated, sounds vastly separate it time, space, and tradition, the musicians have advanced across remote areas of sound. In Tibetan Bells II, the ancient resonances of the bells of Tibet are deployed within a musical framework uncompromisingly 20th century, and Western. Tibetan Bells II is an unprecedented synthesis of the sounds of East and West, past and present. The instruments of this release are exclusively the bells of Tibet. These remarkable instruments have been described elsewhere, yet it is a striking fact that the tones of Tibetan bells, the indigenous products of a highly evolved yet little known Asian culture, have often been confused with the ultra-modern sounds of electronic music. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no electronic tampering and the resonances of the bells owe nothing to outside sources. Unearthly and timeless, they are their own. About the Artist Wolff and Hennings' first album, Tibetan Bells, created a stir when it was released in 1971. It represented a pioneering style of music, unfamiliar to an audience experienced only in Western modes of composition and instrumentation. In 1978, they recorded Tibetan Bells II in San Francisco. The subsequent contribution by Wolff and Hennings to the Philip Glass soundtrack for `Koyaanisquatsi', an avant-garde film, brought the bells before a new audience.
