Notes

All proceeds from this recording benefit the Society of Gyuto Sacred Arts.

The third track is a 'performance offering' to the monks.

Mickey Hart described the music of the Gyuto Monks;

The Gyuto Monks allow us access into the basic realm of being. Their sound shows the depth of the human spirit's compassion. This is sacred music, music for prayer not entertainment. It is one of the most extraordinary examples of extended voice on this planet.
