Klaus Wiese
Born in Germany in 1942. In 1970, he was introduced to music by his
first teacher, a Qalandar Sheikh named Fazal Innayaat Khan. In 1972
Klaus joins the Munich-based group Popol Vuh, as a special assistant of
Florian Fricke, who credited him as a Popol Vuh member (on tamboura) on
the cover of the famous 1973 LP "Hosianna Mantra", the group's third
LP.
He traveled extensively through Persia, Afghanistan and India during the 1970's and 80's, and studied with many Sufi teachers of different orders.
He plays the Tibetan singing bowls with a revolutionary technique that allows long, sustained and spaced-out tones, and his main focus is to create resonances, vibrations and deep overtones; his music has a timeless quality and knows the power of silence. It should be heard at a low volume, as a background for meditation activities or as a powerful healing tool.
Klaus Wiese has released a number of solo albums for several labels. and he has been an important source of inspiration for two influential German artists, Al Gromer Khan and Mathias Grassow.
"Ordinary music dissolves into pure sound and is born again as music of a higher order, beyond the gates of form and concept".
