We are thrilled to invite you to a special Bandcamp Listening Party this Monday, February 3rd at 8:00 PM PT.

Over the years, composer William Susman has had the privilege to compose music for several award-winning documentaries. Last year, we had a wonderful Bandcamp Listening Party where he shared music from Music for Moving Pictures—the soundtracks of three unusual films. This time, we’re diving into the score for Fate of the Lhapa, a documentary directed in 2007 by Sarah Sifers. For the first time, the album will be available on Bandcamp!

Fate of the Lhapa is an award-winning film about the last three Tibetan shamans, who have lived in a refugee camp in Pokhara, Nepal since 1962.

The score, which features the ethereal vocals of NEA National Heritage Fellow Tsering Wangmo Satho (one of the first generation of refugees born in Dharamsala, India) and legendary Grammy-nominated cellist Joan Jeanrenaud, beautifully blends Asian and Western sounds to evoke a deeply spiritual and mystical journey.

We would love for you to join us this Monday to experience this powerful and evocative music and look forward to sharing it with you!

When: Monday, February 3rd at 8:00 PM PT

Where: https://susmanmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/fate-of-the-lhapa-listening-party

🎶 More About the Music 🎶
• 2007 Moondance International Film Festival – Winner: Best Film Score for a Feature-Length Documentary
• 2008 Park City Film Music Festival – Winner: Best Film Score for a Feature-Length Documentary

Critics have raved about the score’s ability to stand alone from the film, with Stage and Cinema describing it as "supernatural... sumptuous touches of resonance... trance-inducing balminess." Meanwhile, All Music Guide praises it for creating "an atmosphere that amplifies the wonder, beauty, and melancholy" of the film’s story.

We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

Listening Party from William Susman.

50% off the album “Collision Point” in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Philippe Petit’s high-wire feat.

50 years ago, the Twin Towers became the site of "the artistic crime of the century" when French high-wire artist Philippe Petit spent 45 minutes walking and performing between them on a tightrope, without a net. Thousands gathered to watch from the streets of lower Manhattan, a quarter of a mile below, as Petit laid down, saluted the sky, and waved hello to birds.

This feat inspired Colum MccCann’s novel “Let the Great World Spin.” My trio “Clouds and Flames” and the names of the movements come from lyrical moments in his novel.

The piece is a set of impressions on loss, remembrance and rebirth, and, a meditation on the tightrope wire walk of Philippe Petit between the World Trade Center towers on August 7, 1974 culminating in events surrounding 9/11.

You can redeem the code now through December 31st and get 50% off the album “Collision Point” which includes the piece “Clouds and Flames”
