"He started to record the beautiful chanting of the monks, the sounds of the environment and the singing of the local working men and women. These turned out to be the first elements of the Tibet Impressions CD. (…) Before he set out for a trip to Mount Kailash, he went to Tsurphu and got permission to record one sutra recited by the now eight year old Karmapa. This turned out to be one of the most moving tracks on the CD. In Lhasa he recorded sounds of the streets ('Life in Barkhor'), a street singer performing protest songs , groups and all sorts of other sounds of daily life."
