Album Description

Peter Michael Hamel's music flows from the grace and wisdom of countless cultures. In the 1970s, the German composer and writer went beyond the ideals of the experimental avant-garde to search for a more meaningful form of expression. As he explained in his influential book, Through Music to the Self, "It is the responsibility of spiritual music to learn from all musical traditions, to track down long-forgotten sources and to bring back into the limelight the original function of music - its links with the deepest in human experience." He does just that on Colours of Time and Bardo.

Recorded in 1980, Colours of Time, is a two-part composition for keyboard that surges with Eastern inspired melodies and time-suspending patterns, reminiscent of Terry Riley. Bardo, recorded in 1981, features Hamel on the pipe organ, electric organ and synthesizers in collaboration with synthesist, Ulrich Kraus. Together, they explore the psychological contours of inner experience on two powerful compositions, Dorian Dervishes and Bardo.

Peter Michael Hamel - 'Colours Of Time/Bardo' (Kuckuck) 2-CD.......2005-06-21

Two early '80's lp's on reissue of Hamel's minimalism/new age work.Very nicely done.Each disc has just two tracks.Each one is about as spell binding as the others.Disc one has "Colours Of Time,Part 1"(22:05)and "Colours Of Time,Part 2"(18:04).On disc two,there's "Bardo"(26:18)and "Dorian Dervishes"(21:47).Hamel plays keyboard,organ and piano.Might appeal to fans of Stephan Micus,Laraaji,Steve Roach and Markus Stockhausen.
