Tibet is Cheryl's latest release under the Spotted Peccary
Music record label.
“In 1999 we took a trip to Tibet to experience, first
hand, the majesty, beauty and spirit of the “Land above
the clouds” Our hope is that these “musical impressions”
will take you, the listener, on the same journey that we experienced.”
- Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher
Tibet is a richly textured and highly emotive musical sojourn
that takes the listener on a journey to the land above the
clouds (as Tibet is known). Perfect for meditation, contemplation,
deep listening and spiritual thought and practice. Deborah
Martin and Cheryl Gallagher have composed a work of beauty
and majesty mixing traditional tibetan percussion and taos
drums, harp and electronics with samples of authentic tibetan
prayers intoned by residents of this ruggedly awe inspiring
country. Now
remixed into 5.1 surround sound for the ultimate sound experience!
