Offer for Concerts
Hello!
If you wish to organize a gong concert in cooperation with me at your place, you are very welcomed! I take my concerts always in connection with the room or the location, where I play.
Sound and place build a unity.
The effect of the sound compositions is due to the wide overtone spectrum a harmonic, spherique and spritual one.
For the listener, but also for myself, the affinity between room or place and sound is an exciting experience, my concerts have occasionally been called " soundservices ".
An actual description of my concerts in words is of course impossible.
One has to experience it, one has to listen!
If
you like to give me that opportunity, please contact me!
In connection with the concerts a workshop for gong-meditation is possible.
