TARA
Brian Abbott
Produced
and co-written by Nigel Shaw.
This
CD, Brian Abbot’s first solo project, is inspired
by the Tibetan female deity, Tara. Brian has played guitar
for over ten years with the bands Global and Riven. The
album is an extraordinary journey, the music moving from
archive recordings of Tibetan monks and nuns through beautiful
ambient soundscapes and sonic prayers (where contemporary
western instruments merge with Mongolian and Tibetan instruments)
to full power dance and rock compositions.
Tracks
include White Tara, Skeleton Lords, Prayer to the Dalai
Lama, Winds on Mount Kailash.
Musicians also featured include Nigel Shaw, Carolyn Hillyer,
Jackie Juno (Riven), Shaun Farrenden (Riven), Michael Ormiston,
Tom Brooks (ex-Global), and Tim Gill (EXP).
Guest musicians: Daevid Allen (Gong), Kevin Kendle and Tim
Hall.
From each CD sold £1 goes directly to the Free Tibet
Campaign and the Tibetan Nuns of Chuchikjall Monastery.
Tara is available on CD for £13
