Chants, Hymns and Dances
Gurdjieff & Vassilis Tsabropoulos
G. I. Gurdjieff was an early twentieth century mystic who came to Western Europe with secret knowledge he claimed to have acquired from an obscure group known as the Sarmoung Brotherhood. His philosophy might be best summed up with this quote: “Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies.” As part of his awakening process he instructed his students in a series of improvisatory movements or dances intended to “to alter or heighten consciousness.” This CD is music that he composed for his dances.
