Government guidelines are still prohibiting indoor gong baths. And the recent changeable weather is making outdoor events difficult. So in an effort to bring the gongs to you, we visited a local recording studio recently.

On hearing Thor, the engineer was heard to mutter “what the hell is that!” Several microphones were used to capture as much of the sound as possible. Of course nothing can replace the live vibration experience but this is as close as we’re going to get. We have a couple of recordings in the members area of the website, and one available to purchase. More will follow….
