Singing Bowl Conversations With Gong 1
by Bob Frye
The Paiste 38" Brilliant Series symphonic gong is played in conversation with 20 Singing Bowls in a 54-minute-long transformational odyssey. Beginning with deep and profound oscillations and monaural beats from the 15” Low E2 foot bowl, the track establishes a rich brainwave-entraining quality from the very start. Six minutes in, additional singing bowls enter, expanding the harmonic references. The gong enters a few minutes later, with its low B1 fundamental and F#1 subtone to bring a new depth to the experience. As the Sound Bath unfolds, the conversation between these low-pitched instruments and those in the 3rd and 4th octaves develops but never loses sight of the grounding and resonating monaural beating of the low E2 bowl. Shimmering 5th-octave bowls provide a glistening counterpoint to the upper harmonics of the magnificent Brilliant Series gong.
