Thanks for this video. I'm trying to find a second gong that will work well with my current gong. It's difficult to do without having them in the same room. This video has helped. My favorite combo was the Bronze #8 and the Jupiter. Really cool and unique sound those two combined

Finding and matching gongs can be a process. It's always nice if you can play them together beforehand. That said, sometimes you just need to trust your ears and your intuition.

Is that a rute stick?

@Gongtopia 6 күн бұрын

It is the now discontinued Pro•Mark large sized 'Broomstick'.

Going to Gong Camp with that room full of gongs most likely means you’ll find one, or more, that speak to you & just “jump into your cart”! That’s how I got my first 2 gongs!

It's usually called a 'chime ladder' or 'swing chimes'.

i was wondering.. if you take physical notes .. for ideas.. ?

@Gongtopia 2 ай бұрын

I take notes all the time. When an idea comes to mind, I'll write it down. Sometimes it's on a Post It note that I stick up in my office, other times it's in an idea notebook, or I'll write a lot of things down in the Notes app on my phone/computer. I will also copy a paragraph or two of something I want to remember from a book or other source. So sometimes when I need a video idea, I'll look through my notes.

@myspiritualdevelopment3813 2 ай бұрын

Michael, another insightful musing. It amazes me just how gullible some people can be when it comes to the magic bullet of frequency. You just have to listen to some of the many healing frequency music videos on KZbin, to realise whether they’re promoting 256Hz, 432Hz, 532Hz, all the way up to 300,000Hz (300KHz) & beyond that I’ve seen listed, they all basically sound the same! I’m not saying certain specific tones aren’t beneficial for the body, mind, emotions & spiritual wellbeing but, all the soft mellow music videos quoting magical healing frequencies are just cashing in on people’s naivety or ignorance.

I like the idea of telling a story. It’s an interesting new way to play for me. Now I wonder if you felt any story while I was playing? I most often think in very broad energies like love and peace. I also like the idea of painting the air with sound, I had thought of it as sculpting the air . Thanks for the insights!

I am writing a book about time and how to use/manipulate it which is slated for a next spring/summer release. But a great book to start with is 'Being Time' by Shinshu Roberts. It's a very deep read about Dōgen's Shōbōgenzō Uji, and you will need time to process and understand it, but it changed my life. Start with this, then circle back for more recommendations. www.amazon.com/Being-Time-Practitioners-Guide-Dogens-Shobogenzo/dp/1614291136/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2425TS77S2SCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-R3SXtiKiQ6oo_e0CeopMw.NeKFJzoZAVk9uj8RmRidimCEir6zgSbC4nYC7cpeWqk&dib_tag=se&keywords=being+time+by+shinshu+roberts&qid=1729896795&sprefix=Being+Time%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

If you’re only using your mics to record is that because you are not recording video? Just sound?

@Gongtopia 3 ай бұрын

I’m not sure what you are asking, but I record just audio, and I also record separate audio to use for video. The camera/iPhone mics don’t have the quality I want, so I always record separate audio with better quality mics the I sync with the video in post production.

Hi Michael, did you try to bow them? I think the smaller Zildjian would sound good! Maybe the cup give a more controlled sound than a wind gong.

I've so busy traveling that I've hardly even played them! Bows are definitely on the 'to do' list.

Thanks Michael, great video and tips. That is exactly what I was looking for; I do agree recording these types of instruments isn't easy and requires a lot of trial and errors

Get yourself a nice head mic......... you need it! You can't compete with the gong. : )

@Gongtopia 4 ай бұрын

Yes, the voice could be louder. But if you look, this video is over 10 years old. It was a clinic where I thought they would have a mic and a sound system-but they didn't. I recorded it anyway and at least there is this. Today's technology may allow me to actually remix the audio and bring the voice level up, but I don't have the time, as I'm too busy making new videos. Maybe someday. It would be nice…

when you discuss playing elements, what does this mean exactly- are you channelling the energy/spirit of the elements? could you enlighten us (apologies if you have been into this topic in a past video)

On three occasions I had found small singing bowls at thrift stores. Even though they were lucky finds I felt a little guilty paying so little because clearly the stores thought they were simply decorative bowls.

You need to take these gifts when they are offered to you. I have also found some amazing instruments for very little money because the seller didn't know what they had. I look at this as the instruments being guided to my hands where they are used and well taken care of.
