Bardo Prayer

I have a piece I'd like to add to collective consciousness of recent
events. It's using the Tibetan "Ceremonial" Scale (thank you Manuel)
and 152 TET (thanks to Paul) , which I was working on when the
bombings started.

Tibetans consider accidental death, in which one is suddenly thrust
onto the other side, with little or no preparation, a great tragedy
because the soul is left to navigate the somewhat treacherous bardo
realms without guidance. The Bardo, or the afterworld, is a realm
and journey the Tibetans are very familiar with. Typically a lama
will chant to guide the soul for up to 29 days after death, This
work was composed with the idea that perhaps a link could be created
with those who left September 11th that allowed them to access
Tibetan roadmaps in their journey,

Anyway I've put it on my own site where you can download it here.
