Seriously, the comments... This is not hipster, this is not "experimental music", this is Tibetan ritual music or at least inspired by it. But the instruments are the same, throat singing as well and even the note sheets they use. And it is beautiful and special. Phurpa is transcendental, not for everyone.
I saw this group perform entirely on accident while on vacation in Iceland. They performed at an Icelandic Black Metal Festival at the Gaukerinn, which turned out to be a small divebar venue. They played a few sets after NYIÞ and Mysþerming (two other bands that also changed my life). Phurpa closed the night out with something like 3 hours of ceremonial performance. By the end, all these headbanging metalheads from around the world were laying on the ground just letting the subsonic soundbath wash over them.
Seeing them live is something very special. It’s more like a ritual experience or religious experience not a show. Its like your soul was drowned in black, thick liquid and then was taken back.
i really dont get why there are so many dislikes! so what if this strictly isn't 'music' boiler room is videoing something we normally wouldn't be exposed to, dont see at as a dj set or a music gig. its more of a show that's deeply symbolic and spiritual for the performers and interesting to watch for outsiders. throat singing is quite incredible, and theres a lot of cool instruments they're using. kudos to boiler room for showcasing something a bit more outside the box. if people dont like it, watch another video!
ells101 How can the uploader know what people like if you don't tell him I like or I don't like it? So I understand you, but you were wrong about the like/dislike imo.
MrNaichwersonst very true the uploader can't know but just scrolling through the comments and a lot of people are complaining that it's not music. if people genuinely dont like it fair enough that's taste, but you shouldnt dislike for the fact it's not 'music'.
ells101 Debating what is or is not music is the most boring and useless discussion as it is anyway. Only thing that matters if what you are hearing is engaging or not.
If you don’t have a good sound system just don’t even bother with this vid. This is truly a sonic wonderland to be experienced in perfection, would love to hear this live.
To everyone who calls this lame. I thought the same, too and man I never was so wrong. I experienced them by myself and holy cow...! This was a trip I could never imagine. At first I wanted to give them some minutes and go home but they started and it was so mysterious and the sound was so extreme and new I staied the whole time till the end and never regret it. They can growl so deep. my whole body and the whole hall were vibrating. the bass was louder and stronger then all the other bands who played before phurpa. you need to experience it live and you need an open mind. oh well and some patience and attention. Really recommendable!
This is on another level. The comments should be disabled for a video like this. Educate yourself about what they are doing and use your ears to experience the insane sonic qualities that they are creating together. To really appreciate this you need a large subwoofer or excellent headphones. This deserves nothing but silence and full attention.
Yeah, you're just signaling your own superiority complex. This is music, people are, and should be free to experience it any way they want. I so happen to agree that this 'needs' full attention and a good sound system, but I don't see the point in caring what others do. Live and let live dude.
I can understand how people that cant hear the harmonic overtones from their combined voices would think this is lame lol As a lifelong vocalist i fucking love this
Beautiful, dark, haunting and charming. I would absoloutely love more than anything to see this live. Sends shivers down my spine! the best most haunting song ever.
I saw them in Bristol, UK last year and they were stupendous - the sonorous harmonies and drones are incredible and teeth-rattlingly loud in the most amazing way!
Great! I allways loved to listen to Tibetan Buddhist monks chant. Like the Gyuto Monks for exsample. When i have a headache i listen to some Buddhist monks chant and my headache goes away.
This particular one isn't buddhist but is based on Tibetan Bön religion chants, Bön being the native shamanic religion of Tibet before Buddhism. But Tibetan Buddhism is a hybrid of buddhism and the Bön traditions so that's where the similarities come from. Also nice to find another person who appreciates and vibes to Tibetan monk chants and whatnot, I have a similar relaxing and meditative experience listening to these types of music.
This isn't for everyone. It is music but it is a sound that is on a different frequency. It vibrates/lites up your Chakras. Personally I like it. I can use this to meditate. Over joyed for this type of work. Amazing to say the least. Cheers and happy travels.
This sounds like something out of an amazing horror movie. I mean that in a wonderful way. I have never seen or heard anything like it. Fascinating. Very dark and beautiful.
Six years on, anyway, I agree about the soundtrack! If you haven't seen "A Dark Song" already, it's a brilliant watch! I could imagine Phurpa featured in a movie like that 😍
@@Flashback_Jack bön (a tibetan shamanic religion). they are named after a ritual dagger, which also appears in vajrayana buddhism, where it is called kila
This is cool went to a Catholic school so there was lots of ocassions for voices to happen in a church setting.stained glass candles N some Latin being sung...was part of my young life.this all during wrestling roller derby bowling sci fi horror movies ...I'm not surprised at this ..just glad it's here...!!!!!
thank you guys..i put this set on a creative tonie on the tonie box of my 3-year old daughter and she suddenly felt asleep after 5 minutes!!! that was 2 min faster than her usual frozen tonie!
For ALL the ppl that dislike this: its ok! But don't criticise! Its art, ritual, music, performance, its fucking visceral! Good day and vibes for everyone
It is a Tibetan Buddhist praying ritual : you can hear it even with cheap earphones . The ritual as itself and breathing techniques and the self control speak for themselves . Only certain monks off a Buddhist monastery are capable to train prayers in this special room .usually such things are not seen even seen by the monastery monks …
+krakou2 I was wondering the same thing, actually. Kind of lazy and easy to just call everything outside of conventional music 'hipster'. If there is a meaning to that term at all, then it's losing all of its meaning this way.
millenium kids unable to process exposition to gazillion artists/ideas : "that must be hipster shit" millenium kids unable to process exposition to gazillion opinions/criticism : "that must be hater shit" their dad learning he can diss anything intellectual/artistic while staying the cool one : hiiiiipsteeer! Potential correct answer : mid-20's white people practicing gentrification and cultural appropriation
+krakou2 this is not actually experimental music though. this is just traditional religious Tibetan throat singing. there is nothing modernistic about this actually.

If you like this go listen to Tibetan monks chants for world peace

Lol. Bullshit. Performance art
And bad performance art. The costumes are cool and the sound selections are good... but they never move from sitting and the sound goes nowhere

@@skatterpro I dint care. I'm just throwing in my two cents cause I can.
Poopoopeepee
I can understand how people that cant hear the harmonic overtones from their combined voices would think this is lame lol As a lifelong vocalist i fucking love this
The endurance they have is incredible. ❤️
As a practicing Buddhist, this is the equivalent of religious music to me. I love it. Its very similar to tibetan chants and mantras.
This is not Buddhist music. Its Bon
@@jherekcarnelian9391 let the man vibe
I feel I little sad cuz not everyone can appreciate this transcendental art
thats why its transcendental^)
This is the pinnacle of sonic artistry.
Archaic beauty from the abyss.

This is some powerful stuff. Really amazing! Great to see when old traditions are kept alive in modern surroundings.
Вживую слушал в Перми: настоящее потрясение!
Best Boiler room by a mile. Brilliant.
+Marc Borri I'll sign to that.
Pasan los años y yo sigo regresando a éste boiler room
esque son unos auténticos ritualistas siono

Evocative chanting. The cymbals drum and horn combo is awesome sounding.
BEST KET HOLE VID OF MY LIFE
Been listening the whole weekend over and over again
the way this video is recorded is stunning
This sounds like something out of an amazing horror movie. I mean that in a wonderful way. I have never seen or heard anything like it. Fascinating. Very dark and beautiful.
BON PO , Father Tantra ritual choir
This is traditional Bon po Shamanism and Tantra but it is NOT Buddhist
Six years on, anyway, I agree about the soundtrack! If you haven't seen "A Dark Song" already, it's a brilliant watch! I could imagine Phurpa featured in a movie like that 😍
Mezmerizing, disturbing, hypnotic and relaxing at the same time..great!
This is like an acapella drone record! God damn, is this stuff hypnotic.
If the world of Bloodbourne had bands.
Really awesome...low low under tones more than LOW ...wonderfull music!!!
31:00
The abyss reveals itself and you tremble with fear
Был у них на концерте ,это просто улет на 3.5 часа.....
This is really fantastic. I want more of this. I bet John and Grant will have their heads explode when they see the levels I have attained.
dream collab: Sunn O))) + phurpa
No
module64 That would be nice, yes. I always imagine Sunn O))) + Audrey Chen also
module64 Come to Czech for Brutal Assault festival this year, they will be both bands there! :D
Joe Julet guess what fuccboi: i was right puu.sh/jfm68/6e9de93dbd.jpg
Wooow, amazing to see them together
Words alone, can not describe how beautifully-haunting this is.
I want to join this troupe, in the worst of ways.
Simplemente me parece genial, hay que entender que no es una canción si no un ritual, excelente para meditar.
It gave me goosebumps!!! Deep Deep Deep....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TASHI DELEK
I love Tibetan music , this is great .
Never thought I'll see Phurpa here, awesome!
Do these guys represent some sort of religion? Buddhism or something else?

I'm going to put this on while I go to sleep tonight. †

Perfect, very powerful for ritual work. Bravo!
im in love
It’s literally the prayer reading version of the Bardo Thödol. Unbelievable. How did you get access to that prayer room?
Best video I have seen on the internet yet .

Dude +1

enriqueivars "Om"
I like the part where they sing "ooooooooooooow"
Mmmooooooooonnnnmmmmmmmuuuuuuooooouuuuuuughouuuuuughougghuuuuuuuooooooooouuughooooooooooooo
this is sublime
this is the trippiest shit I've ever seen people should watch this shit stoned or on shrooms
i love you brothers. i hope to see you on the otherside and tour me to your garden.. respect. embrace life.
If Boiler Room is going to pull the trigger on stuff like this they should book Lustmord next.
and Portal pls
For ALL the ppl that dislike this: its ok! But don't criticise! Its art, ritual, music, performance, its fucking visceral! Good day and vibes for everyone
Feels like a similiar vein as biosphere, real good stuff.

Can this harm me when i listen to ?
@@gggeeee2153no
FANTASTIC ! thank you.
I would go to extremes to get Alexei to come to Manchester, the Broadwater Hall would be great sonically for this.
Love it!!!! unbelievable skills!
Magnifico,Excelso.

Otto Vik Mathisen oh, thank you alot )
Or incredible perfomance
This....is so amazing
31:08 intense
This is great.
Wow this is stunning
Emaho!
Wow. Just. Wow.
This is M.A.D and i love it ..
Bei 1:15:26 versteht man warum die Mönche ihre Hand immer in der Nähe der Brust oder des Kehlkopfes halten !
Incredible
These 'trumpets' from Phurpa tend to remind me of the Lost series soundtrack
This slaps!
A good music. Mystic present..
Die Trompeten die bei 1:11:31 …starten unglaublich. Wir haben Sie Zugang zu diesem Raum bekommen ?
cheeki breeki komrads!
- POWER -
Benisons to and for this.
amazing
in what parallel universe experimental music is considered hipster? "Hipsters" listen to pleasing shit such as Flume and Odesza, not dark ambient lol.
krakou2 Anyone who calls this "Hipster" is just attacking something they cannot understand
Just for making that observation your a hipster

Well, nice tunes!
Perfect!!
Yoooooo crazy good
awesome
super!
wow!
excellenté
Wow
Well I thought it was top shizzle, nice one boiler room
great
Nice quality
People calling Phurpa "hipster".... Ohh internet...
I saw them live today. A lot of hipsters came, and I mean A LOT.
Still an awesome project though.
@@sk69to96 cool, If you read my comment though you'll notice I haven't said anything about Phurpa being hipster
@@SatanenPerkele you are a hipster
How they are making them tones is really fucking my head up
google: tuvan throat singing
Iggy Tubmen I knew that but I listened to this with a subwoofer and it was picking up all this weird low tone bass
Thank you Stephen.
two worlds: very good!
tour suggestion:
1. Amen Ra
2. Phurpa
3. Treha Sektori
I went into a trance...
I like it. Very impressive x
cool!!....greetings from germany....
Oh my fuckin god this is deep
