about

"In Tibetan [there is a] group of slogans known as lamkhyer: lam meaning 'path' and khyer meaning 'carrying.' In other words, whatever happens in your life should be included as part of your journey... Whatever happens, you don't [have to] react to it..." - Chogyam Trungpa

Lamkhyer explores tribal, ambient, and experimental territory, blending hand played instruments, electronic rhythms, field recordings, and sample manipulation together into a deep, organic listening experience. Relinquishing control, allowing for the accidental to blend with the deliberate. Chance and randomness were treated as valued collaborators, used to select intervals, notes, sounds, and direction. Spontaneous improvisations were shaped with a deliberate hand, transformed then re-processed, pushing further into new territory.

Lamkhyer was initially released in 2002 as a 3” mini CD containing the tracks “Lamkhyer”, “K’an, The Abyss”, and “The Leftward Path”. Reissuing this material on a standard 5” CD allowed us to include outtakes, alternate mixes and demos from that same time period. Additionally, the original recordings were revisited and remastered using current technology to improve their audio quality.
