March Gong Bath #3
by Bob Frye
A 32-minute-long exploration of the incredible timbers, resonances and oscillations that can be found with the 38” Paiste Brilliant Series symphonic gong. Recorded with the latest iteration of the 7-mic array, this track covers the full range of dynamics available. This track opens with a very gentle warming of the gong, building to a full crescendo by the 13-minute mark. It then moves into an exploration of deep resonances and monaural beating, punctuated at 24 and 28 minutes with dynamic forte soundings. Performed with a wide assortment of mallets, this track is both meditative and highly evocative.
