‘Sound Bath: Himalayan Singing Bowls and Rain’ [EP]

Text reads: "Sound Bath: Himalayan Singing Bowls and Rain by Nicholas Peters. — **‘Sound Bath: Himalayan Singing Bowls and Rain’** by Nicholas Peters [EP].

About this EP: The four tracks on this release were recorded in July 2023 in one session during a heavy rain shower. The recordings of the singing bowls were made underneath a skylight window. Two condenser microphones were directed at the window to capture the sound of the heavy rain in stereo, and a pair of matched omnidirectional condenser microphones were directed at the singing bowls. The end result is an immersive and unique set of four recordings, ideal for relaxation, meditation, or even for falling asleep to. The antique bowls that were used in this EP are four Jambati bowls, a Mani bowl, and a Dolpo tantric bowl.
