The Mystical Arts of Tibet: Sacred Music Sacred Dance performance comprises selections believed to generate energies conducive to world healing. Robed in magnificent costumes and playing traditional Tibetan instruments, the Loseling monks perform ancient temple music and dance for world healing. The program features authentic temple dances and multi-phonic chanting. This is a rare opportunity for a look into the Tibetan monastic culture as these pieces are rarely seen outside the monasteries in which they are performed. The Mystical Arts of Tibet is a world tour endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to promote world peace and healing. The artists are monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery (re-established in exile in South India). The performers on The Mystical Arts of Tibet tour are not full-time professionals; rather genuine monks who are taking time off from their life-long devotion to contemplation and study to participate in the tour. These monk artists consider it an honor to be selected to represent their monastery and share their cultural traditions on the tour, hoping that they will be able to make some small contribution toward world peace and toward greater awareness of the Tibetan situation. At the end of each tour the monks return to Drepung Loseling Monastery to continue their vocation. In addition to the performance on October 13 the Monks will also create a Sand Mandala at UPAC from Wednesday October 9 thru Saturday October 12. The creation of the mandala will be free and open to the public each day.

Tyler Wood was born and raised in the northeast corner of the U.S. Although Presque Isle, Maine is known more for potatoes and skidoos, he had a rich musical upbringing. His first instruments were piano, trumpet, and cardboard-box drums.
When Tyler went to college, his plan to study astrophysics was eclipsed by the purchase of a real drum set and a new-found love for hip hop and recording. The campus had a dingy basement studio, where he encountered his first multitrack tape machine and sampler. He began playing, recording, and mixing music of all kinds. Tyler progressed into more experimental music through an electro-acoustic composition class, where he spent countless hours composing on the studio’s massive Serge Modular synthesizer. But New York beckoned…
After arriving in Brooklyn in 2006, Tyler began to tour internationally and record with acts such as Luke Temple, Glass Ghost, Joan As Police Woman, and most recently Elvis Perkins.
Meanwhile, Tyler reconnected with his old acquaintance Therese Workman to form the group Oh My Goodness. They’ve since released two E.P.’s of original music that has been described as “Worry-Core” and “Cross-Eyed Soul”.
Tyler also has been traveling the world as Audio Director and engineer with the non-profit group Remix <–> Culture, recording remote video shoots of underrepresented folkloric music from Morocco to Brazil.
Tyler currently resides in the Hudson Valley of New York, and performs locally as well as internationally. The submitted composition was premiered at Basilica Hudson’s “24-Hour Drone” in 2016.
Combining punk abandon and tightly-coiled dance music has always been bonded into the band’s DNA. It’s this core plus their growth and mastery of songwriting that has seen them outlive the mid-2000s ‘indie/dance punk’ tag and has allowed them to consistently grow lyrically and sonically from album to album. As If is their most transcendent collection of songs yet.
“Each album we’ve made has gotten closer and closer to our live set and this, we’re proud to say, is the closest we’ve come yet. We were heavily influenced by current dance music — Nina Kraviz, Moodymann, Paranoid London, Rrose and Delroy Edwards were frequently referenced — and philosophically by the early ’90s house records we love on labels like Trax and Dancemania and by artists like Romanthony and Green Velvet. Those records sound great because they’re fairly raw attempts to use the technology of the time to ape the New York and Philly disco records that those producers loved. We figured, if those old house records sound like they do because the artists manipulated disco samples with MPCs, why couldn’t we just sample ourselves and manipulate the tracks with Ableton Live? The more raw it came out the better it felt, not only because that’s what excited us about those old records, but because it felt more punk, which always feels good.”
