Description

Many individuals who have undergone a near-death experience repeatedly describe being in the presence of a very special light and an unbelievable brightness. This type of phenomenon displays similarities with the term ‘Bardo’ from the ‘Tibetan Book’ of the Dead which describes the various ‘intermediate states’ prior to clinical death in which the essence of the individual spirit shines in bright light.

The transformation of this unique state into music is naturally presumptuous for any mortal being, but what medium other than music could be better suited for a carefully tentative approach to this phenomenon? Harald Weiss, November 2017
