Existence, sound, energy – all become one in Liquid Bells.
Within the transformational vibrations of this divine music,
the unstruck sound, the anahat nad, is heard. In this
remarkable CD, the deepest parts of our soul recognize
these resonances and then we relax, we commune with
spirit and spirit heals us.
The intention of musician and healer, Damien Rose,
in creating this highly regarded recording is to offer
a certain form of music, like a beautiful fragrance, to
awaken associations in us that are primordial, eternal,
and ultimate. These timeless associations call us to the
core of our spiritual being. This is the experience of
Liquid Bells.
Damien continues to present these sounds at meditations,
chakra healings, yoga conferences and festivals such as
Bhakti Fest. He has been asked to provide the soundtrack
for many CDs, including the recent recording by davidji,
Lead Educator at the Chopra Center, and a guided meditation
in the Chopra Center’s Agni Light October issue.
Liquid Bells is one hour long to allow yourself to effortlessly enter into the silence. To move into deep meditation let your mind follow the sounds. By simply being available to enjoy the experience, the sounds will move through you, helping to clear away lower frequencies and attuning you to higher vibrations.
BIO:
Damien Rose began studying piano as a child, giving recitals and playing for assemblies at his elementary school in Los Angeles, CA. As a teenager he added guitar and songwriting to his musical world. After graduating from law school, passing the CA Bar exam and heading to be a lawyer, Damien was driving around the rural coastal towns of West Marin, north of San Francisco, listening to his favorite recording, Tibetan Bells, the first western recording of Tibetan bowls. He picked up a hitchhiker and was stunned to find that person was not only a Tibetan bowl player, but he actually played on Tibetan Bells! After driving the hitchhiker home, he was invited in where he discovered a vast array of ancient bowls set up in the living room. Listening to live bowls for the first time changed Damien’s life. Since then he has completely devoted his life to working with sound vibration as a revealing and healing source of spiritual experience.
With hundreds of hours of recording and mixing in professional studios he gained insight into the intricacies of sound. Along with his spiritual practices, this led to an understanding of sacred music and the healing essence of Tibetan bowls. Given his experimental nature, Damien thought of a new way to position the bowls for playing. By putting some of them upside down on poles he could easily ring several in succession. He custom built a stand giving him easy access to 20 or more bowls at one time. This “instrument” helps him create his orchestral sound.
In 2002 Damien was playing at a yoga conference where he met Deva Premal and Miten. That night he played before their performance. Since then he has played for hundreds of meditation workshops, yoga classes, and healings, including one with chakra artist Mykal Aubry (www.mykalaubry.com) at Golden Bridge Yoga Studio in Los Angeles.
Yoga Technology, LLC selected Liquid Bells as the sole soundtrack for all their Guru Rattana On-line video classes (www.yogatech.com). Guru Rattana states, “The variety of compositions and the complex and beautiful harmonics are a unique contribution of this exceptional musician.”
Recently, Damien recorded bowls for a spoken word mediation CD with Davidji, Lead Educator at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, CA. He also just played at the historic three-day Kirtan festival in Joshua Tree, CA, called Bhakti Fest. He will be there again next year.
During one of Snatam Kaur’s concert tours he was fortunate to meet GuruGanesha. He was honored when GuruGanesha wrote this about his CD. "Damien has done a masterful job capturing the essence of the Tibetan singing bowls' magic. By meditating on this recording, one is transported to a place of deep trust and serenity. It shuts down your mind and opens your heart!"
After ten years of collecting his set of bowls and ready to express all he had learned about the unstruck sound, the anahat nad, Damien recorded his first Tibetan bowl CD, Liquid Bells, in 2008.
