Cyril Morin
What is more important - satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one? A spiritual love-story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh in the Himalayas, India, Samsara is the story of Tashi, a Buddhist monk, and his quest toward self-knowledge. Samsara echoes the struggle of every person to find spiritual enlightenment. Samsara in Sanskrit translates as the world within or, as the Buddha says, the cycle of life, delusion and suffering which all sentient beings are part of.
French composer Cyril Morin has produced an extraordinary, soothing sonic journey that includes the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, chants from the Lamas and Nuns of Ladakh; Tibetan bowls, Bansuri, Indian flute, Duduk, Ney, Sarangi, Lyre, Mongolian and Tibetan violins, guitar, sanza. The palette of sounds of these instruments and haunting vibrations have a mesmerising and powerful effect that speak of the profound spiritual quest and longing that exists in all of us.
