Peter Michael Hamel - The Voice Of Silence

Still sealed, comes with release sticker.

A few years ago we were lucky to be allowed to reissue some of Peter Michael Hamel works.
We would have wanted to go for the Voice Of The Silence too, an now we have finally got the kind permission to go for it.

Here is a much needed reissue of the sought after second LP by Peter Michael Hamel, originally released on the collectable Vertigo label
in 1973. Hamel's experimentation with meditative and minimalist sounds is a further field of exploration for those into the likes of
Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, Popol Vuh, Taj Mahal Travellers or Deuter- and will also appeal to those with interest in ambient
and meditation musics.

From "A Few Thoughts on Composer PMH" by Terry Riley:
"...Peter's heart did not seem to be aligned alone with the post Webern traditions that had emerged so prevalently in Germany.
His sensibilities were attracted more to American minimalism and Indian music and to some degree Rock and Jazz.
In this sense he stands apart in the field of modern music of Germany. He has recognized the vast importance of improvisation

and being 'in the moment' in music performance. He realizes the importance of experimentation and of finding new ways to notate his ideas.
However, his music is at the same time rooted in the great German tradition and today he is recognized as a major figure whose
compositions have greatly enriched the development of 20th and 21st century."

Originally released in Vertigo in 1973, the Wah Wah reissue will come housed in a textured sleeve reproducing the original artwork,
remastered sound, and feature an insert with photos and liner notes. Limited edition of only 500 copies.
