33 Bowls track 1 sample: Morning

33 Bowls track 2 sample: Rain

The recording and editing of the first release, titled "33 Bowls", is complete. Cover Art is being finalized. "33 Bowls" will contain two extended tracks: 1) a 27 minute track titled "Morning" which is "just" Bowls with a few birds chirping in the background for the first few minutes, as the recording was done at the crack of Dawn; and 2) a 45 minute track titled "Rain" which has a somewhat "softer" sound and a gentle background of tropical rain, also a birdsong in the beginning. The Bowls, of course, were inside and did not fill up with tropical rainwater. The recordings were done with custom microphones, cables, preamplifiers, carbon fiber isolation shelves, and high resolution analog to digital converters. There are no electronic tricks or artifices, hence they are not "perfect" but quite "real". There are thirty three Tibetan Singing Bowls in the recordings, just not all played simultaneously. Announcement of the release via iTunes, Amazon, and direct purchase will be forthcoming. In the meantime, enjoy the samples. Comments, feedback, suggestions, requests are all welcomed.
