about

The Tibetan word bardo means literally "intermediate state"—also translated as "transitional state" or "in-between state" or "liminal state". Sidpa bardo is the sixth bardo of becoming or transmigration. This bardo endures until the inner-breath commences in the new transmigrating form determined by the "karmic seeds" within the storehouse consciousness. (Wikipedia) The Sixth Bardo is a composition that explores a sonic representation of this liminal state accelerating towards the moment of rebirth. It is enlightening to conceive of death not as the end, but instead a new beginning.

The voices are a recording I made in the subway of a prayer circle.
