David Hykes is a world-renowned composer-singer and founder of Harmonic Chant, a “music of the spheres” linking contemplative practice, throat-singing and sacred chant. He gives concerts, retreats, seminars and conferences all over the world. Hykes has collaborated with the Dalai Lama, the Mind and Life Institute, and the Gyuto monks, exploring the neuroscience of contemplative music. Besides twelve albums with the Harmonic Choir and his other groups, including the legendary album "Hearing Solar Winds Alight" he has done music for films including "Travellers and Magicians," by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, "The Tree of LIfe" by Terrence Malick, "Dead Poet’s Society", "Baraka," and Peter Brook’s "Meetings With Remarkable Men," among others. A long-time student of Tibetan Buddhism and the Gurdjieff Work, his musical influences and inspirations come from his native Taos, Tibet, his years in the New York underground, India, Mongolia, Tuva, Persia, Turkey and medieval Europe. He lives in France, where he directs a contemplative retreat center near Paris.
