My wife & I really enjoyed this. Watched it over 3 sittings. Loved the titles of the various sections. A way of life.

A story rather than random;y banging. Amen. thanks Michael

I love what you say about silence! Also very important at 42mins about getting hung up on our dream instruments vs ability thank you. Sat Nam

[@nikki_jp4216]

Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom, loved it all. Lucky to have someone like you able to share so much on sound

[@drinktea4life]

I enjoyed this video tremendously, I am completely immersed in Gong playing and holding sound baths. I just went and ordered your book so I’ll be starting to read it next week. I look forward to your continued future videos. Love what you do, Michael

Hey Michael this documentary is just fantastic. Thank you for making it and writing the book! Looking forward to a deep dive.🌌

[@Gongtopia]

Thanks. I actually didn't make the documentary. I was just the subject. The video was made by John Pritchard Jr.

Everything I wanted to know about Gongs, but was too afraid to ask. Glorious. 🦑 Congratulations on your publication.

[@markowenwardgongs]

A really interesting video which I shall watch again. You definitely influenced me towards the Paiste bronze gongs and I feel privileged to own a 0 and a 4, so magical alongside my earth gong and of course I want to and do play them every day.

[@tonysunseedpalmer2914]

This was quite a morning cuppa, if ever, I had. You made many meaningful insights, and I enjoyed your explanations. Nicely arranged visually, too

[@nitnickers]

Ooooo... Looking forward to this .... I've been following you for a couple of years now. .... My favourite knowledgeable gong person 😎✌🏼

Thanks for sharing

Fabulous gong documentary. Thank you for sharing🙏 The two small red mallets ….what are they called? Loved the sound when you used them at the same time.

[@Gongtopia]

Let me know where in the video the mallets are (what minute) and I'll be able to let you know.

[@barbaramcallister8234]

104:55 is where you use the two mallets with red tops

[@Gongtopia]

@@barbaramcallister8234 - Those are Balter 14B medium soft yarn wound marimba mallets (with the rare black shafts). They are nice on bowls, bells, and gongs. You can find them here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/B14B--balter-ensemble-marimba-mallets-medium-soft?srsltid=AfmBOooImUlKtGG5Z0vZZ1OIOkKu20GKGJPDmNiHZViaNBSwHN625FYCEHE

I am from Russia and I can't read books in English. But I really want to read your book. Do you have a version of this book in Russian? Please write.

[@Gongtopia]

Sadly no books except in English right now. I've had requesters for Spanish, French, German, and now Russian. Perhaps I can translate it into Ebook versions in the future. Anything is possible.

[@МузыкаСфер]

@@Gongtopia This will be a wonderful gift for me. I will wait.
