“When we pay attention to nature's music, we find that everything on the Earth contributes to its harmony.”  
Hazrat Inayat Khan

The incredible wide sound spectrum that can be obtained from a gong is riveting for its audience not only emotionally but it also takes effect on then body cells.  And at last but not least, a fine gong play has the power to uplift our spirit to higher grounds. Mentioning the sound of the gong at first most people can think of rumbling or roaring and maybe as a second thought they say "oh, those strange whale sounds". The gong, however, is a lot more multicolored instrument. It is capable of pacing, vibrating, performing "effects" or as a solo instrument "singing" melodies itself.  It can even function as an instrument of rhythm to accompany other, finer tools. 

The gong is spontaneous and multifaceted.On one hand the sound field of the gong allows us to live through a meditative state that slows down the physical processes; on the other hand, a more dynamic gong play that generates stirring, active vibrations can even accelerate progresses in our body. Pacing, rhythm and vibration are calling for exploring and living through ecstatic states. The gong – considering its potentials –  can evoke the music of existence with its variable and constant changes, with its liveliness and occasional, bare silences.

 A good gong can be played in a truly harmonious way not only with the tools created and designed to play it with, but by hand, or with a broom, with bows and other objects and materials. The gong can be an infinite possibility if we can detach our imagination from the already known paths, from the routine. This way the process of playing on the gong becomes a conscious and at the same time liberated performance for the player. 

Besides, the gong- with its powerful and variable resonance and its richness of overtones- opens a sound field which cannot be invoked by other instruments. This special sound field consists of a multitude of vibrations. The vibrations outflowing from the gong do not include only the audible sound waves but also frequencies that our ears cannot detect while our body (and soul) can sense both physically and emotionally. Therefore a gong pay is not only an audible experience. The sound field of a live gong play cannot be performed or given back by recording however professional it is, still, it can bring back the personal experience with the gong through our memories. This way the cells of the body are capable of reacting again and again through remembering.
