Chris Conway & Ajahn Achalo - Mantras (2018)

Coming a year after the Three Jewels And A Lotus album, Ajahn Achalo - Buddhist monk in in a small monastery in Petchabun, Thailand - called on multi-instrumentalist producer Chris Conway in Leicester to arrange 2 more tracks of mantras. 2 more tracks were added a couple of months later to make the EP into an album.

Special guests - Khun Noppadet chanted with Ajahn Achalo at the Thai monastary, and Chloe Singer sang and chanted and Mo Coulson added Celtc harp in the studio in Leicester.

The long track Kwan Yin Bodhisattva Mantras has a Chinese feel, reflecting the text.
The shorter track Tara Bodhisattva Heart Mantra features Chloe Singer's voice reflecting feminine nature of the text.
The opening and closing mantras are of a more meditative, ambient nature to balance the more rhythmic tracks.
