Master Wilburn Burchette - Occult Concert
Tax included.
Master Wilburn Burchette’s 1971 debut gathers 37 minutes of meditative, effects-heavy guitar shaped by mysticism and ritual. Drawing on his interest in parapsychology and Tibetan philosophy, Burchette uses sustained tones and layered textures to create slow-moving, hypnotic pieces.
A California-based mail-order figure, he first appeared through small ads in esoteric magazines, offering a self-designed “Psychic Meditation Course” alongside his records. Each release came with detailed listening instructions, framing the music as part of a wider practice focused on perception and sound.
Across seven albums made between 1971 and 1977, Burchette developed a singular approach to instrumental guitar, treating it as a tool for pattern, tone and altered states. This debut stands as an early document of that vision—introspective, unusual and rooted in its creator’s private world.
