have been using sound as a healing art for the past 20 years & have created these
recordings of their four symphonic gongs to bring consciousness to the world of sound & vibration. A gong is a perfect
brotherhood of tones perfectly united and blended, as a vehicle, or vahan, for some cosmic entity.
In it the law of cohesion 'manifests fully. It is a concentric and organic
body, through which the energy
of sound flows uninterrupted; and in some cases at least, it has not only an elemental soul born out
of the cohesive principle, but also a spiritual soul as well brought down into its mass by the
concentrated devotion of its maker. The artisans of old
spent years casting and fashioning some temple gongs so that the tone of the
gong might be a revelation to all the devotees who would hear it
filling the holy places. A quote from the late
Dane Rudhyar via Don Conreaux Recorded and mixed at Sound 23 studio London January
