about

Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo and Russian pianist Anton Batagov met through their mutual friendship with famed choreographer Bill T. Jones, so it’s only natural that their first musical collaboration would focus on movement and improvisation. Tayatha, a Buddhist term that means “it is like this,” marks a bold, post-minimalist foray into new music for Lhamo, whose work with Peter Gabriel’s Real World label has won her accolades from Rolling Stone, the New York Times and many more.

"The point where East meets West in this story is not where they usually meet," Batagov says. "It's definitely closer to the world of chamber post-minimalist music than to the world of pop arrangements. That's why we called the album Tayatha. Buddhist mantras usually begin with tayatha — that's why we hope people will play the whole album without interruption. It's a trip that has its special trajectory, like a modern vocal cycle."
