Buddha Bowls (3ING-080) — stillness is also a sound
Buddha Bowls is sustained sound for stillness.
Some records ask for your attention. Others ask you to let go of it.
Buddha Bowls (3ING-080) is a set of live meditation drones from Seattle-based certified sound healer and meditation/breathwork facilitator Tasha Hampton, captured in a single breath of performance and designed to stretch time.
These are long-form tones, performed on resonant bowls and bells, where the air between strikes becomes part of the music.
The effect is both ancient and contemporary. Each track feels rooted in centuries of ritual, yet resonates in the same space as modern ambient explorations from artists like Kali Malone, Caterina Barbieri, and William Basinski… composers who use duration and patience as instruments of their own. Hampton’s approach emphasizes presence: emotionally compelling resonances performed live in the studio (no samples here at all), allowing overtones to overlap until they feel like an atmosphere all of their own… with additional production and processing from album producer and License Lab’s Founder and Creative Director Daniel Holter.
For sync and licensing, this palette is quietly versatile. Buddha Bowls can score wellness content, meditation apps, or yoga classes with ease In fact, these sounds are the soundtrack to many classes and special events at Seattle studio Flood Yoga (where Hampton is the resident Sound Healer, and which Holter owns and operates with his wife Kate Holter). But beyond the obvious, it can also frame documentary passages, gallery installations, slow cinema, or brand films built around mindfulness, sustainability, or artisan craft. Podcasts in the reflective mode—On Being, Ten Percent Happier, The Daily Meditation Podcast—often weave in sound beds like these to open or close episodes. Even advertising has leaned into this texture… recent campaigns for wellness brands, eco-conscious products, and spas all reach for drones and bowls to suggest calm and care.
The track titles themselves hint at gentle narrative: movements named single words, sensations, or mantras. And with all of Buddha Bowls having been performed live, there’s an imperfection and humanity here that keeps the sound from ever feeling clinical.
In a landscape of endless noise, Buddha Bowls offers a reminder: stillness is also a sound.
