MOFFETT, KARMA - Sitting Still Within/Sitting Still Without
"Sound has the ability to heal. This is the primary tenet that has been driving Karma Moffett for over 35 years. Pure tones, resonant harmonics, the sounds of the earth. At the dawn of the 80's, as the burgeoning movement of privately-issued New Age was taking hold, Karma Moffett was a pioneer. Eschewing the use of synthesizers and other increasingly-available electronic technology, Karma crafted his meditative, introspective music using ancient instruments. Primarily utilizing Tibetan bells, and singing bowls, Karma Moffett crafted sounds that led the listener on an inward journey. 1982's Sitting Still Within/Sitting Still Without is Karma Moffett's earliest triumph. Combining the aforementioned Tibetan bowls & bells along with naturalistic field recordings, Karma's first album is a testament to the power of minimalism and repetition. An ambient voyage that truly draws the listener inward, and outwards, Sitting Still Within/Sitting Still Without is music for healing." - Morning Trip .
