Heikan no Setsu is the second recording by The Gateless Gate. The album was made entirely with vocal sounds. The recording was inspired by The Gateless Gate's practice of Zen Buddhism and was influenced by such artists as David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir, Dead Can Dance, Stephan Micus and Popol Vuh. The title is taken from the title of a collection of haiku by Bashō and translates as "On Seclusion".
Mastered by Shawn Delnick at Studio W19, Toronto, Canada. More information is available via thegatelessgate.net
