Humwichawa

 

Humwichawa is Arjuna's new CD, focused on the unique contemporary vibration produced by the marriage of Tibetan long horn with throat-singing. It is also the name of a choir of harmonic chanters based in Joshua Tree, CA. Arjuna is its founding director.

Chinese healers considered “Kung” the great tone of nature. Kung corresponds to our musical scale as the tone F. In metaphysical elements of music the tone F is the healing vibration for the heart chakra. The heart-felt appeal of Humwichawa is probably because the Tibetan long horn resonates in the key of F.

CD Reviews:

Arjuna is a Dhun-chen, or Tibetan long horn player, who combines his talent on the drone-like exhales with a technique known as "throat-singing." This CD is at its strongest on the first couple of tracks that feature the long-horn drones with some tasty guitar work by Clive Wright. There is no percussion, so the end result is very meditative pieces that will remind many listeners of a didgeridoo with a little bit more harmonic capabilities… "Ocotillo" which features an invigorating flute accompaniment performed by Carl Roessler is a mysterious gem. The intention of the CD is to create a foundation for healing, and Arjuna succeeds in generating vibrations that maintain the focus on the inner self by keeping the production simple with little variation. The percussions on "Road Runner" are "programmed" by Wright, but it is neverhteless a refreshing surprise. I liked the steady shakers and the animation of the piece. Overall, this is an interesting CD with healing qualities.
