Sound healer Silvia Nakkach taps into the traditions of natural
healers from time immemorial with this collection of vocal chants encompassing
Indian, Sufi, Tibetan, African, and ancient American culture, with musical
instrumentation and sound design coordinated and supervised by Christopher
Eickmann, as well as others.
The vocal chants are entrancing and hypnotic, performed and
recorded in such a way that they seem to be emanating from within your own
consciousness. The instrumentation is also soothing and relaxing, providing the
perfect framework for the vocal chants to work their charms.
Of all the tracks, my favorite is “Hymn to Saraswati.” You don’t
have to have any particular inclination or leaning to appreciate the earnestness
and devotion of the vocalists, who exude utmost humility and supplication. I
could listen to a whole album of just this.
