Dear Friends,
With very kind funding from the Michael Merriman Family Foundation, our Blind Students and Masters have completed 12 professional Recordings of Mohori Music using Pi Changvat (the beautiful double-rythmn of the Skor Romonear drum reserved for ancient Mohori Music).
The Recordings were done with expertise and patience by Sound engineer Rob O’Hara (Mute- speaker Studios) with the ghost track done in our Main Hall at our School and subsequent solo instruments recorded in a studio setting.
We would like to share with you some of the beautiful photographs kindly taken by Photographer Steve Porte.
These Recordings will be available for the public soon and are part of our Student’s progress in becoming independent professional Musicians. The name of their Traditional Khmer Music Ensemble is “Pikar Duntray Vitay Santepheap” – also known in shorter version as, “The Path of Peace”.
Our enormous and profound gratitude goes to Loak Kru Ros Samouen, our Mohori Master for his priceless dedication and Teaching.
With much love and blessings to everyone,
Catherine and Everyone at KCDI
