about

a transcultural creation: octurn ventures into the authentic universe of ritual chants of the tibetan monks from the gyuto tantric monastery / a fusion of two sonic worlds: the gyuto monks practice a special overtone chanting technique commonly known as “the voice of tantra”, while octurn is a contemporary jazz ensemble that has been defying categorization with a very personal approach to composition and group improvisation, the music being based mostly on interlocking and interdependent forms, indeterminacy and impermanence, opening vast spaces for sonic meditations / sound offerings are an integral element of the tantric rituals performed by the gyuto monks, but outside of their monasteries, they chant for the freedom of tibet and of all living beings / according to the dalai lama, by sharing this state of extreme consciousness with an audience unfamiliar with tantric practices, the gyuto monks aim to exorcise the negative forces present and raise the conscience of the world / the sonic experience is fascinating and seemingly timeless, and the score written for the musicians of octurn originates from these hypnotic states of mind and unfolds an imaginary and hybrid tibetan ritual / this double cd was recorded in the temple of the gyuto monastery, india, in october 2014 /
