description: This beautiful sound creation, Rainer Tillmann's fourth, contains a unique combination of ancient Tibetan singing bowls and contemporary crystal singing bowls. In the first part of this recording, Tillmann performs solely on singing bowls; in the second part, he adds other instruments such as cymbals and chimes. Tibetan singing bowls have transparent, clear overtones, whereas the crystal bowls have a softer sound, with unexpected, crisp overtones. Although it may seem to us that two or three bowls are not melodically compatible, the harmonics they produce actually are. We are not used to hearing these harmonics in Western music, but these bowls resonate in such intriguing ways that even the untrained ear will quickly adjust, accept, and enjoy them.
