The Way of the Gong

Description

This book is about the author’s life experiences working with gongs and other metallic percussion instruments. It contains a series of essays about gongs, sound, sound healing/therapy, room acoustics, Alchemy, and many more subjects that tend to live in the gray areas and in the cracks of our everyday existence. While it’s not a technique book, or a how-to manual, there are some lessons for gong players of all ranges of experience. Drawing on over fifty years of exploring percussion, Michael Bettine delves into the things he has found, and continues to find fascinating, in working with gongs and sound.
