Sound Bath Sessions 305: Mindy Group Session

I returned to the hotel to rest for a bit before I made my way out to meet Mindy and the group she assembled for this recording: Calvin, Se-Yuen, Zelena, Clairice- all of whom where Mindy's previous students and friends. They had arrived early at the location to set up and I met them later for a quick lunch before we started what was to be a 7-hour recording session including group sessions as well as a block of individual sessions.

In the group sessions, they picked the songs that they liked and could sing. They had only rehearsed a few times before the recording, and it came together wonderfully- the imperfections balanced with the passion of their voices. The style was more of a kirtan group singing, with everyone singing and improvising with harmonies over a base rhythm and scale.

In this track, the group chanted the Medicine Buddha Chant: "Teyata Om, Bekanze Bekanze, Maha Bekanze Radza Samugate Soha"
