CD2 Tibetan Planetary Singing Bowls - 12tks/76mins

“Existence” is an alliance of properly outstanding musicians. This project includes Wojciech Czemplik (violin), Ralf Damwerth (vocals) and Margot Reisinger (vocals, Tibetan planetary singing bowls, piano, guitar, flutes, sitar, percussion and synthesizer). ”Planetary Healing” double album recording was carried out with the assistance of a famous sound engineer Tom Bates who had won 8 Grammy Awards.

Every composition of the first disc called “Planetary Suite” is devoted to the Sun and separate planets of the solar system. Primeval sounds of Tibetan planetary singing bowls, a violin that touches everyone’s heart, tender vocals, charming keyboards and polyphony of accompanying instruments allow to make a travel along our solar system starting from the Sun to its very distant corners leaving aside Mercury, Venus, the Earth and other planets.

The sound of the album is very gentle. In this project the music of different nations and continents interlaced together. And at the same time different cultural traditions are so skillfully joined together and framed with enchanting feminine vocals that it is impossible to break off, disengage some separate part from this music. It is very harmonious, and there is something bewitching in it: while listening to the divine “Planetary Suite” one just wants to listen to it again and again. This is an excellent example of modern music which is over and above the time and style. “Planetary Suite” exceeds all the limits and shatters all barriers. And there is so much beauty in all these tunes!

The second disc “Tibetan Singing Bowls” consists of practically 76 minutes of meditation.  Profound sounds of Tibetan planetary singing bowls create an atmosphere for attaining the state of peace and relaxation. They are consonant with the vibration of the planet itself; one can feel the Earth’s pulse in them.

What else can be said about this prominent album? A colored loose leaf narrates not only of the origin and features of Tibetan planetary singing bowls being unique musical instruments but of physical and astrological aspects of every planet as well.

“Planetary Healing” is a truly brilliant piece of work. The sound of both discs is practically perfect. The album gives the best fit to both light rest-time and to deep meditation.

In cold winter when there’s no gleam of hope
The music only calls you to go forward…
