Klaus Wiese – Ommayads (CD)

Klaus Wiese spent decades in the orbit of Bavarian electronic pioneers, and his solo work leaned deep into Tibetan singing bowls and meditative drone as spiritual practice rather than aesthetic exercise. Ommayads sits at the intersection of Islamic mysticism and the kosmische tradition that shaped so much of what followed in ambient music, making its arrival on CD a genuine event for collectors of the Erdenklang catalog and beyond.
