Statement by Joseph Dillon Ford
This variation on the "Hymn for the Standing Buddhas
of Bamiyan" is one of many parts of a musical sound sculpture of
global scale intended to commemorate and sustain the significance of the
Standing Buddhas of Bamiyan, Afghanistan, destroyed by the Taliban in
2001. For the history of this sculpture, and to see and hear its other
parts, please visit the Main
Page of Standing Buddhas Project.
