Music recommendations for an ayahuasca session

I'm looking for music for my next ayahuasca session. Last time I found music very helpful to guide and center me during the experience, however the music I picked was excessively tense for me at some points. It was Mongolian throat singing by Khusugtun, the sound was excelent and just what I was looking for, but the strings were often too fast and tense.

I'm looking for music with these qualities:
  • "Earthly", "organic" feeling, be it of a folk type or electronic
  • Introspective and meditative but still with some tension (and release). That is, not "relaxing music"
  • Without very prominent bass. I have neighbors and, while they are unlikely to actually be able to hear it, I don't want to worry about that during the experience
Any recommendations will be appreciated :)
 
Everything from The Chi Factory and Son Of Chi. They are usually about 20 minutes long sessions in between acoustics and electronics, all in peaceful, earthly and organic vibe. They are regular companions for my travels. Some examples :

The Chi Factory - Travel In Peace (part 1)

The Chi Factory - Travel In Peace (part 2)

The Chi Factory - The Mantra Recordings (part 1)

The Chi Factory - The Mantra Recordings (part 2)

The Chi Factory - The Mantra Recordings (part 3)

The Chi Factory - The Mantra Recordings (part 4)

Son Of Chi & Radboud Mens - The Transition Recordings

Son Of Chi & Clara Brea - The Wetland Remixes (part 4)
 
Thank you for the recommendations. I usually would have said that I don't particularly like acoustic guitar, but Estas Tonne (who I didn't know about) is very different from what I would have expected. It sounds to me like being wrapped by a warm sound blanket while still having some tension and release, it's really good. I will for sure add some of his music to the playlist.

Hermanos Gutierrez sounds very good too, but I won't add it to the playlist because, due to my cultural background (very related to some of their musical influences), it brings me associations that I wouldn't like to bring into an ayahuasca experience. But if it weren't for that, it would also fit the bill very well.

I also didn't know Malte Marten, I will add some of him for sure too. I hadn't considered handpan, and it's perfect for this purpose.

As I didn't used to play music during my past psychedelic experiences, I don't know that much music fit for that purpose. So thank you, this is helpful :)

Edit: @The Sofa Traveler , sorry that I didn't comment on your recommendations yet, your comment popped up after I posted this comment. I'll listen to it and comment on it later.

Yeah, Estas is not your regular acoustic guitarist. He's got something divine in him. I had the honor of seeing him live twice, and both times it was magical beyond words.
