Voices and Gongs


Another couple of  Syntonic Research releases.

From 1976, "Intonation" is supposed to represent dozens or hundreds of monks chanting subverbal syllables.

From 1970, "Tintinnabulation" is computer-generated bell tones.  The original LP could be played at all four turntable speeds 16 2/3,  3301/3, 45, and 78rpms.



1)     Intonation     29:50
2)     Tintinnabulation    29:19


The cover art is my own.

Have fun thinking deep thoughts!

See you Thursdays.

I like the graphics on the cover, too.

What Does YOUR Spirit Sound Like?

Georgia Kelly is a fine musician and harpist.  She composed this music to several Sanskrit hymns; a choral ensemble sings them, to her accompaniment.

 (This is the original album cover. I didn't have a way to scan it and combine the scans into a full-size image, so I redid the cover art.)



01 - The Sound Of Spirit (Hymns From The Rig Veda Sung In Sanskrit)
02 - Morningsong (Harp Solo)
03 - Dayana (Bird In Flight)


Also included is an insert with all of the liner notes, including the Sanskrit texts and English translations.

A lovely, fascinating, otherworldly experience awaits.

The Sound of Spirit

See you Thursday.
