Bio / Background
Ritual was recorded live during a completely improvisatory session on September 10, 2004 at Kaliandra sound temple in the state of Goias, the high savannah region at the center of Brazil. The recording was made in an incredible meditation space (pictured on CD cover) with cathedral-like acoustics. Because of the natural amplification, it was made using only two microphones and no added effects. This was meant to capture the spontaneous and sacred nature of the music, which combines elements of mantra with Brazilian chants of Amazonian and African origin. The instruments are nearly all handmade and include the Iranian santur (a kind of hammer dulcimer), Indian tamboura, violin, guitar, hectara (a one-stringed instrument from India), ceramic drums (pote de barro, made locally in Goias) and a variety of other Brazilian and African percussion.
This work is a collaborative effort involving several elements. Kaliandra, (www.kaliandra.cn.
