Sound Bath Sessions 029: Calvin Chan

I recorded Calvin at Room Ganesha in Mong Kok. He combines the sounds of several instruments in his sound baths using metal singing bowls, tongue drum, and hand pan. Not formally trained in sound healing or music, Calvin’s approach is more about freely exploring sound for relaxation, meditation, and performance. He experiments with interesting combinations of instruments and sounds. The busy street below can be heard in the space.

In this session, Calvin uses several instruments in this recording. He begins with a hand pan, ocean drum, crystal harp, and finishes with metal singing bowls. He concentrates on each instrument as he walks around the room with the more portable instruments. He also played to the stereo microphones moving back and forth, front and back.
