Solo performer: Nawang Khechog.
Originally released as SOUNDS OF INNER PEACE.
As a child, Nawang Khechog escaped to India with his family to avoid persecution in his native Tibet. After spending a decade in a monastery, some of which was spent in utter seclusion as a hermit, Khechog emerged from his experience as a gifted ambassador of the bamboo flute. QUIET MIND marks his third release for the Sounds True label and features seamless integration of other wind instruments like the didgeridoo, ocarina, and Incan panpipes. "Year of Tibet" is placid and emotive, while "The Flight of a Shepherd Boy" takes an earnest and uplifting approach. A roaring didgeridoo on "The Power of Morality and Patience" grows into a meditative dirge. The closing track, "Creating an Enlightened Society" begins far-off in the distance as lovely layered flutes swirl in ascending patterns. QUIET MIND realizes a most peaceful state.
