the inspiration of 'push kara' (intermediate states) comes from the 'bardo-thödol', a famous tibetan buddhism text. the music that results is neither a retranscription nor an interpretation, but a reflection of a certain reality - the essence expressed in the 'bardo-thödol'. passage through these intermediate states is considered to be a harmfull experience for tibetans, comparable to the crossing of mountains, chasms, deserts and waters.
