Kailash

"Kailash" is a selection of tracks from a new work in progress from Paul Horn and Christopher Hedge
specially prepared for this Limited Edition. The music began as live recordings in Nepal and Tibet as a part
of the Tom Vendetti film "Mount Kailash - Return to Tibet". Acoustic ambiences, chanting and flute solos
were recorded on location in "binaural", a three dimensional microphone worn in the ears of the engineer.
These are compositions made from the moments that happened, a reaction to profound people and places.
