1984 Moog dedication to the sacred mountain straddling Tibet, China, and Bhutan, from new age soul Karma Moffett
Racked up alongside gems from fellow new age pioneers Laraaji, Don Slepian, and Bob Stohl & Kat Epple on Morning Trip, ‘Chomolhari’ introduces Karma Moffett to our world with an effortlessly enchanting exploration of Moog and Tibetan longhorn. It’s a bit of a sore thumb for Moffett, whose work usually tends to use Tibetan bells and resonant singing bowls, but here he arrives similar, meditative conclusions via keys and circuitry, coaxing shimmering arpeggiation and smooth sailing glissandi from the legendary synth. It’s defined by a real eyes-shut, hypnagogic quality that surely wrap us up in its spongiform bleeps and ferric caress, going easy on the the more fanciful aspects of new age with a gentle traction that can’t help but lull to its state of mind, and even recalls the magick of Éliane Radigue in it’s most ebgimatic sections.
“Karma Moffett reminisces: “Chomolhari. Bhutan’s deeply venerated guardian peak. While living in San Francisco, I wandered into the first Tibet Shop in the city. I met Dorje Lama, the creator.He became my good friend and guide, and introduced me to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, the venerable Kalu Rinpoche, and Tai Situ Rinpoche. He opened the door to the path of an inspired and enlightened journey for me. After reading ‘Seven Years in Tibet’, I created ‘Chomolhari’ as a mystical journey to the higher planes of the majestic mountains. Dorje would say: ‘The wildest dreams of the Americas are the facts of Tibet.’”
