KINK GONG RECOMPOSED ORIGINAL RECORDINGS FROM SHI TANDING IN TIBET BETWEEN 2012 and 2018. One side is based on various Buddhist Mahayana Tibetan ceremonies with me playing the Iranian Santur. the other side is based on non religious Tibetan folk songs and epic stories. Both sides of this vynil contain electronic treatment of the original recordings, mixed with original recordings, creating a new way of listening to traditional Tibetan music and Buddhist rituals, with all respect for music and culture we both love.
