Info
Tanam Press was the project of Reese Williams from 1979-86 in New York, NY., releasing 3 LPs and 21 printed publications.
The word tanam is related to the Sanskrit Anantam twan meaning “endless, thou.” The “endlessness” reflects in a way of reciting chant which involves breaking up of a text into syllables and the continuous reordering of them in all combinations, both as a means of obtaining mastery over the sound system of the chant and of acquiring insight into the truth within the text. There is a point where movement ceases, where sound returns to Silence, where the active individual melts into the great tradition.
