Wiese, Klaus
Sabiha Sabiya
On the same path as 'Baraka,' Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) continues his intimate spiritual journey into healing and cosmic drone music. Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982). 'Sabiya' means bright, shining, an oriental wind that suggests feminine power; 'Sabiha' is therefore she who manifests beauty and grace. 'Shaheena' is indicative of gentle and soft, while 'Shaira' embodies and represents the essence of recognition and visibility. Absorbed in absolute state of contemplation, Wiese plays harp, tambura and harmonium in a very essential and circular minimal way, focusing on the stillness of their pure harmonics. The glorious, triumphant sweep of this luminous sound thus seems to evoke and suggest these precise concepts, tactile and visual emotional drops, swirls of impalpable bliss, revelatory of an ethereal and infinite astral dimensional level.
