C.LAVENDER “RUPTURE IN THE ETERNAL REALM” CD + DIGITAL

On her third full-length album, C. Lavender delves into her experience with a profoundly impactful Buddhist meditation centered in the sacrifice of the self as a source of liberation. “Rupture in The Eternal Realm” is a musical reinterpretation and compendium to C. Lavender’s experience studying the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice known as chöd. The practice traditionally involves musical instruments including drums (amaru), trumpets (kangling), bells and chanting. Rather than try to recreate the practice’s musical ritual, C. Lavender used it as a point of departure for reflecting on her inner connection with the meditation, one which she continued to dive into throughout the pandemic. The song titles are taken from lines within the traditional chöd chant, which is akin to a musical composition and serves as a visualization guide throughout the meditative process.
