Michael Vetter started out as a recorder player in the German avant-garde of the sixties, then spent years in Japan studying Zen, and came back with a practice built on the tambura, the Indian drone instrument, and overtone singing. Zen-Tambura consists of two long pieces, Stille (stillness) and Bewegung (movement), each around twenty-five minutes, recorded without edits or overdubs in June 1986 in the chapel of St. Cyriak in Sulzburg.
The result is a meditative music that never becomes generic, with a strong sense of space. Issued by Wergo in 1987 in its Spectrum series, gatefold sleeve with notes in German and English and Vetter's own cover art.
