TibetanBells II is the second album by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, makers of TibetanBells (1971), the original "underground classic." The present record is the musical and metaphysical heir to the album that introduced the exquisite tonalities of the bells of Tibet to the Western World.
TibetanBells II is an unprecedented synthesis of the sounds of East and West, of Past and Present, of Then-Now, of Here-Beyond.
The Tibetanbell tones, often thought to be "reminiscent of impulses of electronic origin, yet (are) too rich harmonically to have been produced by any synthetic process." In the present album there is no electronic tampering.
TibetanBells II is the outcome of years of study, travel, and experiment by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, two musicians resolutely in quest of the "sound between the spaces." Bringing together musical elements never before associated, sounds vastly separate it time, space, and tradition, the musicians have advanced across remote areas of sound.
In TibetanBells II, the ancient resonances of the bells of Tibet are deployed within a musical framework uncompromisingly 20th century, and Western.
TibetanBells II is an unprecedented synthesis of the sounds of East and West, past and present.
