The tracks gathered in this album are ancient sacred chants belonging to a tradition of Pure Land Buddhism known as Jodo Shinshu, of which the Horai school comprises an important spiritual lineage.

Some of  these chants (like the Shoshinge or Junirai) are performed as part of the daily liturgy by devotees of  this Buddhist school.

“Horai” represents a profound synthesis where spirituality meets electronic music and electronic music becomes spirituality, recorded at the frequency 432 Hz.

Massimo Claus has not resurrected these ancient chants purely for entertainment, but has done so  with a spiritual and cultural purpose in mind: to make these chants better known, not only to other Buddhists, but to all seekers.

Massimo Claus also released a two-part short video interview on his latest work:
