DESERT OF CLOUDS

Victor Chorobik, Tsar Tsar Gyalten Rinpoche, Mariusz Kwiatkowski and guests

THE MUSIC

Tibetan Buddhists have always used song to express the realization of the peaceful mind. The Venerable Tsar Tsar Gyalten Rinpoche is an extraordinary singer of these poetic and devotional chants. Vancouver composer Victor Chorobik creates fictional landscapes by blending Rinpoche's chanting with ambient sound, the lyrical improvisations of jazz saxophonist Mariusz Kwiatkowski, and the warm, classical tones of string instrumentalists Larisa and Victor Lebeda.

DISTANT VOICES

Ships that pass on the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and silence

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
