Selwa - Choying Drolma and Steve Tibbetts
The second collaboration between producer/guitarist Steve Tibbetts and Buddhist nun Choying Drolma, SELWA once again frames beautiful Tibetan chants against a backdrop of dreamy electronic textures. The album is an interesting mix of styles; at times Drolma's peaceful voice is nearly unadorned, save some light strumming from Tibbetts' guitar. At other times the studio enhancements are much more evident in the form of down-tempo beats and ethereal (albeit slightly trippy) synthesizer effects. Throughout the recording a sense of serenity pervades due to Drolma's frail voice; her singing is reverent and mystical, filled with a sense of organic beauty that makes her a joy to listen to.
