Notes: This CD is the companion to Lama Surya Das' best seller, "Awakening The Buddhist Heart". Personnel includes: Lama Surya Das (chant); Steven Halpern (various instruments). Recorded at Banquet Sound Studios, Santa Rosa, California. Lama Surya Das and Steven Halpern have created a stirring companion CD to Das's book AWAKENING THE BUDDHIST HEART, setting traditional Tibetan Buddhist Vajra chants to hip-hop beats and droning synthesizer. The melding of Eastern chant with Western dance rhythms is not a new trick, but few have done so as successfully. Das chants in a surprisingly musical voice, creating a potent setting for dance or mindful movement.

Steven Halpern has been producing and recording music since the 1970s, and pioneered the study and use of sound for healing. His first big release, 1975's SPECTRUM SUITE, helped launch New Age music. Halpern creates music that taps into the body's own innate healing abilities. His recordings fall into several categories: soothing "relaxation response" albums featuring synthesizers and heart-beat-paced rhythms, music with subliminal suggestion, and therapeutic music specifically designed to "tune" the nervous system. He continues to lecture, perform, and release albums at a prolific rate.
