"This field recording of Buddhist chanting in what seems to be a temple in India was personally very timely. After recently reading several books on Buddhist philosophy and spiritual practices, finding this particular field recording in the the Sonic Heritage catalogue seemed by coincidence to be the perfect source to work with on this project.
"Having decided immediately not to stray too far from the setting and the ambience of the original recording, I set about to enhance the musical aspects of the field recording, while repurposing as many of the original sounds as possible.
The intent was to preserve the space, people and performance while adding the structure and influence of mystical-like rhythms to draw in the listener."
