Hearts of Space #934 Resonant Bronze (01-07-2011) + Covers

Meditation - Ambient - Metal Bowls



"The timeless tones of bells, bowls and gongs."

This is the weekly one-hour program by Hearts of Space Radio show for the weekend of January 7, 2011. The featured selections in this hour of music are all performed using metal bowls, or gongs or bells. In the words of Stephen Hill, Producer: "Like a cooling harmonic vapor descending from the Himalayan plateau and the Buddhist cultures of Tibet and Nepal, traditional instruments of the metallophone family — singing bowls, bells, gongs and cymbals — are celebrated for their rare alloys, tonal purity, and uncanny psychological power."

"Introduced to the west in 1971 in a classic recording by the pioneering Tibetan Bells ensemble led by HENRY WOLFF and NANCY HENNINGS, they used traditional instruments to create a new music both artistic and contemplative — a healing antidote to the often chaotic sounds of our urban environment and contemporary soundscape. Over the last 40 years, these unique instruments have become a calling for a small group of dedicated contemplative musicians. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we immerse ourselves once again in their timeless tones, on a program called RESONANT BRONZE."

If you are fond of Zen meditation to the sound of resonating bells and bowls, this is an excellent album. Enjoy! And seed, please!
