Sometimes called the Knot of Eternity, it is an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the Spiritual Path, the flowing of Time and Movement within That Which is Eternal. All existence, it says, is bound by time and change, yet ultimately rests serenely within the Divine, the Eternal, Buddha, the Mind of God.
The Endless Knot is both a dark ambient and semi-progressive album combined. It's rather dark ambient with some heavy hitting and mildly progressive rock twists. The album fuses Indonesian Gamelan with powerful electric bass and acoustic drums (Hear songs, "Klab Cros Templi" and, "The Endless Knot"). Metal plates were used as the Gamelan. With the added hand drums, flutes, prayer bells, bass, and keyboard samples, some very original music has been created (Hear songs "Unlock the World", and "Eight Thousand Verses"). There was very little MIDI and no guitar used in the album.
There are three dark ambient pieces (Hear songs "Offering", "Meditation", and "Turning Tide"), which have a very organic sound to them. Some of the other instruments are Tibetan and Pan Flutes, Doumbek, Bodhran, Chinese Wind Gongs, and Tibetan Bowls. It's great for hiking with a Walkman.
This album is my first CD, though I've been creating music since 1976. I was 16 then and very into John Bonham. I thought of him while playing "Klab Cros Templi". There's some Bill Bruford there in "The Endless Knot" as well.
