Tibetan Bells II is the second album by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, makers of Tibetan Bells (1971), the original "underground classic." The present record is the musical and metaphysical heir to the album that introduced the exquisite tonalities of the bells of Tibet to the Western World.
Tibetan Bells II is an unprecedented synthesis of the sounds of East and West, of Past and Present, of Then-Now, of Here-Beyond.
The Tibetan bell tones, often thought to be "reminiscent of impulses of electronic origin, yet (are) too rich harmonically to have been produced by any synthetic process." In the present album there is no electronic tampering.

 About Tibetan Bells
The tradition was brought from India to Tibet, along with the teachings of the Buddha, by the great tantric master Padmasambhava in the 8th century A.D. Singing bowls produce sounds which invoke a deep state of relaxation which naturally assists one in entering into meditation, the ultimate goal being enlightenment.
A metallurgical analysis, done by the British Museum in London, reveals that the instruments are made of a 12-metal alloy consisting of silver, nickel, copper, zinc, antimony, tin, lead, cobalt, bismuth, arsenic, cadmium and iron.
