The Sound Chamber

 
 

Welcome to The Sound Chamber . Here we will explore different ideas of percussion sounds, techniques & set ups. This will not just be Gongs, but anything percussive and soundwise. One of the more interesting aspects of percussion is that it can be anything: there are no rules, no limits to using your imagination.


In my work as both a percussionist and a Gong Artist , I use everything at my disposal to create the sounds and music I hear in my head, and feel in my soul.


I hope you enjoy these explorations!
