A striking 1985 release by German folk musician and tambura player Michael Vetter, who was discovered by Karlheinz Stockhausen. This masterpiece of meditative music unfolds throughout the album, guiding the listener into altered states of consciousness.
In tracks like A2, Michael Vetter’s overtone singing ebbs and flows like waves over a deeply resonant tambura drone, creating a hypnotic soundscape. The highlight, B2, is simply mind-blowing—it transitions from the gentle interplay of tambura and overtone voice, through a break of silence, into an intense vocal improvisation that seems to embody pure chaos. This is a truly transcendent experience, pulling you into another world. Highly recommended.
A3: Credo I
B3: gnus Dei
