Dolpo

Dolpo has been played on NTS shows including Golden Ratio Frequencies w/ AHRKH, with Descent first played on 16 September 2017.

DOLPO, active since 2013, is an experimental drone-doom band inspired by the tradition and the musical structures of the sacred music of the ancient, obscure religious rituals of Tibet, Mongolia, Nepal and Northern India; ancient, forgotten cults that merged into Bön, Tibetan Buddhism and primitive Shivaism. From those ancient rituals, DOLPO adopted some of its instruments (telescopic trumpets Dung-Chen, human thigh bone trumpet Kangling, Dung-Dkar, Rolmo, Dhyangro, Dorje Bell) and the traditional throat singing “Gyer”. Alongside those instruments are also electric guitars, bass, floor tom, Taishogoto, overtone flute, plus field recordings collected during long field research on the Himalayas. The result is a performance that sends the mind of the audience from the usual environment of the live club to the inaccessible sacred areas on the desolate Himalayan mountains. More than just a show, it is a ritual of initiation.
