Track 16 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.
'Bowl Voices' features the singing bowls of Tibet. It uses all the bowls to spectacular effect, particularly the very high pitched bowls and the very low ones.
Tibetan singing bowls have a unique sound and are used as an aid for meditation. The bowls are made of an alloy of gold, silver, copper, bronze, tin, lead, iron and zinc. The sound is made by running a piece of wood around the rim of the bowl, rather like running your finger over the top of a wine glass.
( in a music session, as you listen to all or parts of Bowl Voices, what images does it make you think of? )
