| | Krishna Das Breath Of The Heart CD Krishna Das Discography of CDs
Krishna Das's journey into the philosophy of India began in the winter of 1969, when he drove all night through a New England snowstorm to meet the legendary Ram Dass. The meeting turned out to be brief and anticlimactic, but on his drive home the young seeker discovered himself constantly repeating the chant Ram Dass had given him. There was no turning back.
In a sense, BREATH OF THE HEART is like that initial encounter. Unlike Krishna Das's tantalizing earlier work PILGRIM HEART, BREATH works slowly on the senses but ultimately helps declare an indigenous, uniquely American form of Hindu worship. Producer Rick Rubin has narrowed Das's palette while bringing forth his well-worn growl amid the chorus of his Kosmic Kirtan Posse. On "Kainchi Hare Krishna" and the doleful "Ma Durga," the nervous energy of the young convert is replaced with a brooding self-assurance, and the comfort of a long-term relationship. After years of searching, Krishna Das sounds at last as if he has nothing to prove.

Countless fans have been introduced to Krishna Das through yoga classes, where his soothing rhythmic chants, preformed in a deep, rich timbre, complement instruction on the spiritual element of the exercise. Only those students inclined toward extra credit, though, are likely to know that the former Jeffrey "K.D." Kagel, renamed Krishna Das after years of studying alongside his guru, Mahara ji, in India, is a one-time rock singer from Long Island, N.Y.

CYBER MUSICMIDI AND SAMPLING In order to specify a note, in the scientific sense, four things are needed. First is the pitch. Second the volume or loudness. Third is the length of the note. These three properties are called the MIDI data. The size of the file for the midi data is small, only a few kilobytes. Fourth is the timbre or tone of the note. Technically speaking, this property of the note is the combination of the overtones unique to the instrument. Our ears hear quite different tones when we hear an oboe and a violin even though they may be playing the same note. The file needed to assign timbre to a note is very large indeed. It is measured in megabytes.A SHORT HISTORY OF SAMPLING In the 60's RCA Victor was studying the question of whether an electronic circuit could be made to generate the overtones needed to make a pure sine wave input come out sounding like an oboe. The goal was to synthesize the sounds of the orchestral instruments. Where did this lead? Today we have the electronic piano which can be switched from piano tones to others like violin sounds. The piano is passable but not so the violin. Stradivari it is not. Enter the computer. With the computer and digital signal processing comes a new way to look at the question. The solution is this: use a real oboe. Have an oboist play a note like A-440 and record the sound as a digital WAV file on the computer. When the midi sequence comes to the place where it requires an oboe to play A-440, have the computer play the recorded oboe. Have the oboist play each note in the range of his instrument and record these SAMPLES on the computer. Do this for all the orchestral instruments. Now type the midi data sequence needed to play Beethoven's 5th symphony into the computer and run the sequence through the sampler and - out comes cyber music - a performance produced on the computer. A performance where one person, call him the sequencer, alone is responsible for the tempo, the dynamics, the ...
