Chanting empties the mind and frees the heart. A natural extension
of a Yoga practice, when you sing with complete abandon meditation
follows effortlessly. The form is simple: a lead group calls and
the crowd responds. The melodies are intoxicating , eliciting subtle
shifts in perception. Unspooling hypnotically, they build in rhythm
and intensity. The repetitions still the mind. The mantras are in
Sanskrit, the mother tongue of many modern languages. But the true
meaning of the mantras is in the effect they create, transporting
the chanter into an experience of pure bliss. David Stringer has
studied devotional singing in India with many Masters and performs
frequently with Krishna Das and Jai Uttal.
BRINK is his first CD release.
