Summary
"Songs from the Bardo begins with a bell ringing: once, twice, three times, before chant emerges from the dense silence. This collaborative composition by avant-garde icon Laurie Anderson, Tibetan multi-instrumentalist Tenzin Choegyal, and composer and activist Jesse Paris Smith is a guided journey through passages from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It unfolds as an ebb and flow of sound and words, fusing contemporary compositional techniques with ancient Tibetan Buddhist philosophy to reach new generations. The result is an experience that transports the listener, draws the mind into the present moment, and provides a framework for inner exploration. 77 minutes, 2 LPs, extensive notes and photos"--Container
