Mark Guiliana : The Sound Of Listening (Ltd Blue Marble Vinyl) Incantation Ether - Gang of FourThe idea behind the album is taken from the book 'Silence' by Thch Nhat Hanh (a Vietnamese Thien Buddhist monk revered around the world for his pioneering teachings on mindfulness, global ethics and peace), which considers, as Mark explains, that 'in order to be truly listening to someone else, or the world around you, you need to have a silence inside yourself.
