Ritual & sacred

Lets space arrive before events, and gives weight to what can't be seen.

Gentle, calm, flowing instrumentals for breathing, meditation and healing.

Rolling sixteenth basslines and psychedelic effects, dancing in the forest till sunrise.

Choir, organ and handclaps singing faith into joy that shakes the whole church.

Guzheng, erhu, pipa and dizi in the lead, Chinese instrumental music from landscape painting to modern arrangement.

Bright, round, crisply enunciated high notes between folk song and bel canto: the most familiar Chinese sound of gala stages.

Horsehead fiddle, long song and northwest high singing, songs for vast grasslands and the loess plateau.

A wall of bass from dozens of male voices: brass, snare and a solemn melody, as if a whole square were breathing.

Harpsichord, basso continuo and interlocking counterpoint, ornate yet precise court music.

Bel canto voices filling a whole theatre without mics, with orchestra telling of love, hate and fate.

First understand why people sang together, then decide why your world needs this solemnity.

Lets traditional breath, storytelling and cycles take part in contemporary sound, rather than serving only as antique decoration.

Sitar, tabla and drone; a raga warms slowly from meditation to ecstasy.
