Gongs and Bells vibrate, tremble, quake, quiver,
flutter, flicker, murmer, hum, throb, ding, dong,
peal, ping, trill, tinkle, oscillate, ring and shake.
Each one a microcosm. Play more than one at the
same time and they influence each other, causing
reactions which create extra reflections of sound
that are sometimes unexpected but always true.
Like throwing a pebble into a pond, followed by
another. The art of playing these instruments starts
with this realization.
A solo percussion project, with some kalimba and fender rhodes piano added - stir and taste.
