the minimal percussion added a lot to this piece. i enjoyed how you moved from instrument to instrument, but i also wish there were more moments with multiple instruments playing simultaneously, or longer overlaps through the movements. great work man

That's some really cool stuff, thanks for the link :D

I am not one that can truly appreciate such things but it's nice. 

A project I've done in the past 3 months as a representative composition and an attempt in a more experimental/conceptual/contemporary type of music.

The work attempts to find and represent the essential similarities of Tibetan prayer chanting combined with the wild and trance-inducing nature of shamanic meditations/trips.

The title BWRGY - Blue, White, Red, Green, Yellow, represents the colors of Tibetan prayer flags and guides the form of this work. Each color represents a different element/symbol, which is then transformed metaphorically to the corresponding parts of both meditations.

The aim wasn't necessarily to channel a meditative state, but instead, depict in a static and dynamic manner the feelings and images one could experience in either of them.

Instruments used include:
Shaman drum, Tibetan singing bowl in G, 2 frog güiros, Maraca, 2 low voices, 5 violins, and 1 five stringed contrabass
