一度聴いたら忘れられない異次元のオーバートーンシンギングにて人気のチベット ボン教の伝統を受け継ぐ集団Phurpa。本作は2017年の7月7日にイタリアにある洞窟内部で行われた長編記録。版元曰くこの洞窟の音質、78分に及ぶほぼマックスの長尺編成がPhurpaを聞く最良の方法との事。いつもながらにとんでもない領域。



On July 07 2017 PHURPA performed a "Chöd / Chod" live ritual in Santarcangelo / Italy.
The ritual was held inside a cave (grotta on Italian).
Chöd / Chod is an ancient practice of cutting through tensions, fears, and obstacles in our life.
In Chöd / Chod, we visualize making an offering of our body, which is transformed into whatever is wanted by all beings in all realms.
In this vast offering we create and cultivate a flow with everything around us and are in contact with the boundless dimension of ourselves.
Chod involves all of the senses, as one practices it by visualizing the offering while singing and playing ritual instruments.
Practitioners who accomplish the practice find themselves free of the hope and fear that prevents one from truly helping others in every situation.

On this CD you can hear the sounds of such "live ritual".
Recordings are of best quality, you will wonder about!
This is for sure best way to listen to PHURPA, a long (over one hour) tibetan ritual with all tipical PHURPA instruments and vocals.

The title of this album (Chöd / Chod) reminds to the album released by Zoharum but the sounds and intentions are here completely different!
