INTRO : You'd be hard pressed to find a soundworld more alien
to Western ears than the ceremonial music of Tibet. Encompassing
the entire spectrum from sepulchral horns to crystalline bells,
accompanied by endless guttural chants, overtone drones and
massive percussion ensembles, it sounds like a form of creative
chaos that would frighten small children and chase away demons.
But on the other side of chaos lies peace -- and therein...
lies its magic.
