about

This is a very long piece in one continuous movement. Due to the file upload limits of Bandcamp, my solution was to revert to splitting it into a "side 1" and "side 2", just like a vinyl LP. Even then, the original WAVE file would simply be too big, so the original is uploaded here in a 16-bit FLAC lossless format.

The Main universe of this mandala is a thick electroacoustic river, that slowly but continuously shifts to different harmonic realms. These are triggered, signaled, and guided by the actual sounds of Tibetan Buddhist horns, reeds, cymbals, and chanting.
