After exploring the use of rhythmic elements in his harmonic soundscapes, Marco Dolce (a.k.a. Xumantra) returns to the haunting simplicity of pure, solo Tibetan bowl sounds with HEALING BELLS. Performed mostly using a light striking technique, these tuned bowls provide a fantastic atmosphere for meditation and other mental exercises due to their highly tranquil, resonant sounds. In addition to the bowls, several of the tracks also incorporate other "bell" type sonorities, like wind chimes, gongs and temple bells. Dolce's experience with healing bowls extends back over ten years. During that time, he has immersed himself not only in performing with the bowls (and perfecting his playing techniques) but in amassing the impressive collection of tuned bowls that he uses on his recordings.
