• NAM-KHAR & VORTEX - 'Nag-Hammadi' CD

German ritual ambient bands Nam-Khar (Winter-Light / Zazen Sounds) and Vortex (Cyclic Law / Tesco Organisation) join forces to draw inspiration from the Nag Hammadi scriptures and their spiritual and cultural context.

They fused their distinctive sounds to create a careful interpretation of the source texts from a pan-religious and spiritual perspective, resulting in hypnotic soundscapes and rhythmic patterns. The idea of this album concept is to maintain the spirit of ancient and mostly forgotten paths of wisdom to a contemporary audience. It is dedicated to the spiritual seeker.

The Nag Hammadi scriptures (also known as the Nag Hammadi library) are a collection of early Christian texts that are mainly attributable to the Gnosis and were never integrated in official versions of the bible. They were found by local farmers near the small Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi in December of 1945 and probably date from 1st-4th centuries. These codices may have belonged to a nearby Pachomian monastery and were buried after Saint Athanasius condemned the use of non-canonical books in his Festal Letter of 367 A.D. The discovery of these texts significantly influenced knowledge of early Christianity and Gnosticism.

Mastered by Robin Storey (Rapoon). Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
