Play Sample

Golden Bowls, recorded at the Land of the Medicine Buddha Monastery in 1995, is an international classic in the field of meditation music.  It is also extensively used as a background for massage, tai chi, and yoga.     

Twenty-three years ago Karma Moffett was one of the first artists to record the music of antique hand-made Tibetan Singing Bowls.  The 13-bowl set played on Golden Bowls represents an 18-year process of collecting only the finest Bowls of superior quality and harmonically attuned. 

As they are played randomly, complex harmonics build on top of the primary tones of the Bowls, creating an expansive, ethereal experience.  The Bowls have a wide range of notes from deep, resonant bass notes to delicate bell-like high notes. 

"The tones from these bowls are designed to penetrate the particles of rainbow dust which hold together this impermanent illusion."
- Karma Moffett  

Artist Bio:

Karma Moffett is an internationally respected artist known for his unique creative style expressed through music, oil painting, graphics, sculptings (in wood, stone, metal, and glass), hand-made musical instruments, and exquisite jewelry. His creative work is the manifestation of his spiritual odyssey.  In each media, you experience the center of the mandala, the journey into light, and a sense of peace, harmony, and well-being.  Most of the music presented by his label "Padma Tapes" are Harmonic Journeys, designed to activate and harmonize the Chakra system, then dissolve the listener into the stillness of the Great Mystery. Karma's music features his exceptional set of twenty-four Tibetan Singing Bowls, Tibetan Longhorns, Hand Bells, Tingsha Cymbals, Conch Shells, Drums, and Bone Horn Trumpets.  Karma has sifted through nearly five thousand bowls over a period of twenty-six years to accumulate twenty-four bowls.  These were selected for their purity and clarity of sound, sublime sustained resonance, and their harmonic blending or pairing with the other bowls within the set.  These bowls are hand-made, using from five through nine metals, including meteorite.  The varying thickness of the metals, produces a variety of tones and harmonics, within each bowl.  When the bowls are played in runs or struck as pairs, their harmonics enter the physical and subtle bodies of the listener, to unlock blockages and move energy. You hear the music of the bowls and internally experience their vibrations. In addition to the recordings of his music, Karma has been performing up to three ceremonies per week at his studio in San Francisco.  He has toured throughout the USA and Germany.  Karma has been commissioned to perform at the Himalayan Fair for the past eight years, the Chinese Mood Festival, the Festival of Harps, Open Secret Bookstore, East West Bookstore, the Land of the Medicine Buddha, and has been featured at numerous Whole Life/Harmony Expos, weddings, birthday parties, and other celebrations.  Karma usually opens and closes these ceremonies with innovative music from his international collection of instruments, including Native American flute, silver flute, keyboards, guitars, harp, drums, saxophone, coronet, sitar, Tamboura, and didgeridoo. Review: Golden Bowls Great Music To Levitate To! I am changed.  From the first awesome, spacious note, Golden Bowls takes this month's cake for beyond-out-there meditation and relaxation discs. Karma Moffett's Tibetan bowls have been carefully selected over a period of 18 years.  These bowls are hand-made using five, seven, and sometimes nine metals.  The different thicknesses of metal produce a variety of tones and harmonics. When two or more bowls are struck at the same time, pulsating harmonics occur that are said to produce a relaxation response in humans (that they do, pardner).  A truly expansive, ethereal experience, Golden Bowls is great music to levitate to.   -  Richard Klecka, Conscious Choice
