Last year I was able to fullfill a long held dream to go to Tibet and record the wondrous sounds of the monks and nuns there. The music on this cd is the result of that trip. I have blended the sounds of Tibetan monks and nuns, both in the Jokang Temple, the most sacred temple in Tibet, and in the streets of Old Lhasa, with my own Tibet inspired music. I found my short journey to Tibet to be full of magic and mystery and I hope you will enjoy listening to this music as I did making it!
