TIBET: The 20th Anniversary Remaster by Spotted Peccary Fully Realizes An Iconic Artistic Journey

Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher shared a life-changing journey to Tibet; their album has been remastered and remixed for Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio.

PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, October 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spotted Peccary Music announced the release of TIBET - 20th Anniversary Remaster by Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher, completely remastered and remixed for Dolby Atmos and Spatial audio. The artists agree that the new formats finally present this iconic ambient-acoustic and electronic album as it was originally envisioned - as a total immersive experience of being in Tibet, the land above the clouds. TIBET - 20th Anniversary Remaster is available in physical and digital formats now, on SpottedPeccary.com, Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms: https://orcd.co/tibet-20th

Tibet is a richly-textured and highly-emotive musical sojourn that takes the listener to the land above the clouds (as Tibet is known); 20 years later, the album remains a perfect choice for meditation, contemplation, deep listening and spiritual thought and practice. Martin and Gallagher (aka Madhavi Devi) have composed a work of beauty and majesty mixing traditional Tibetan percussion and Taos drums, harps and electronics with samples of authentic Tibetan prayers intoned by residents of this ruggedly awe-inspiring country.

“We took a trip through Tibet to experience, first hand, the majesty, beauty and spirit of the ‘Land above the clouds,’ said Deborah and Cheryl shortly after their journey. “Our hope is that these musical impressions will take you, the listener, on the same journey that we experienced.”

Now after 20 years, these eight original compositions have been realized in their fullest potential with the help of modern technology not available when the project was first released. Deborah states, “In listening to the remastered and Atmos versions of this very special project, I realized that the music not only transported me back to the land and peoples, but it instilled in me the fact that I never really left.” Cheryl adds: "TIBET was then and remains now a transcendent experience of remarkable personal growth and creative expression, an unforgettable experience of fire and ice, seamlessly combining the hellish uncertainty of life in Tibet with unfettered light filled bliss of said life in equal measures.”

To truly recapture the essence of this project, Atmos mix engineer Todd Boston painstakingly reconstructed each track -- hand percussion, shakers, drums, bowls, harp, synth elements, live recordings, atmospherics -- and remixed the work for the Atmos immersive space. A stereo remaster was then completed finalizing the total audio presentation. The resulting experience is an amazing sonic portrayal of the feeling of being present in this tumultuous land at an auspicious moment in time.

This is a deeply visceral experience of Tibet in all its authentic and stark rugged intensity, its cultural solidarity in difficult times and its dark paradoxes contrasting its ethereal remoteness and dramatic spiritual reflection.

All songs written, composed and performed by Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher; produced by Howard Givens, Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher.
