notes

XUMANTRA is the creation of Marco Dolce, a musician, composer, teacher, producer, sacred sound practitioner, sound healer, and sonic explorer. He is also a dedicated herbalist, organic grower, and naturalist. He is an accomplished musician and composer with decades of recording and performing experience, as well as decades of study in: music theory; jazz and classical guitar; world rhythmic and spiritual music traditions; sound healing and the metaphysics of sound; and world religions and spiritual traditions; including studies in Tibetan Buddhism and Native American shamanism. Marco studied Music theory and jazz improvisation at Rutgers University, and Afro-Cuban percussion at Drummer's Collective in New York City.

Marco pursues the practice and study of sacred sound - the use of sound as a medium for healing and spiritual evolution. He created XUMANTRA as a vehicle for new music using instruments from the world's sacred sound traditions, most notably, Tibetan singing bowls and gongs.

Along the way on his sonic and musical quest, Marco has assembled an impressive collection of bowls, bells, gongs, drums, percussion, and strings from exotic traditions that he uses in the XUMANTRA project. His work with these instruments represents a fusion of the musical and spiritual paths.

  • As pure and soothing and friendly as your cute email messages!

    It was received in pristine condition, and as CDBaby indicated, I handled it with soft, santiary gloves, and with great care, put it in the CD player at the health club where I teach (over 11,000 members). After that, it did its thing anyway. I've used it for savasana in several of the yoga classes I teach. I love it and several people came to say they noticed the new CD and loved it as well. I also had the Singing Bowls CD but dropped in on its edge on the floor there and it broke :-( That one wasn't available when I tried to replace it so got this one and think I like it ever better.

  • Incredibly calming and reveals the rythym of life.

    Xumantra penetrates the soul with Healing Bells. A great CD to start and end your day. It truly takes the noise out of life and replaces it with harmony.

  • These bells assist mental harmony
    author: Ros

    I bought this for my brother, who really enjoyed it. He says he was looking for vibrations to assist mental harmony and the bells really did help.

  • Peaceful

    Peaceful, soothing, music that allows the mind and spirit to rest.

  • very peaceful and calming music
    author: Cheryl

    Great music for healing bodywork sessions. One can get lost in the tones of the bells and chimes. It's very peaceful and calming.
