Description
Alex Cline's 'Oceans of Vows' is a deluxe box set of music drawing inspiration from four poems by Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as excerpts from the Buddhist text known as the Avatamsaka Sutra.
It's performed by composer/percussionist Alex Cline and his all-star 14-piece Flower Garland Orchestra, featuring his twin brother, guitarist Nels Cline (of Wilco) and many other stalwarts of the L.A. creative music community.
The fourteen-member ensemble was dubbed the Flower Garland Orchestra after the sutra itself, which is known as the Flower Garland Sutra in English. Its members are: Areni Agbabian (voice), Chi Li (erhu, zhonghu, zheng, qin), Jeff Gauthier (electric violin), Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (5-string electric violin), Maggie Parkins (cello), Will Salmon (flute, recorders), Nels Cline (electric guitar), G.E. Stinson (electric guitars), Wayne Peet (electric piano, organ), Yuka C. Honda (electric keyboard, samples), Scott Walton (bass, keyboard), Brad Dutz (vibraphone, hand drums, crotales, gongs, percussion), Alex Cline (drums, gongs, percussion), and Vicki Ray (conductor). A studio recording of the entire piece was made with the ensemble over two days following the piece's premiere.
In keeping with the spirit of gratitude engendered by this life affirming piece, all profits from the sale of this music will be donated to the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation.
