Gongscapes is the ten-year echo of my 2016 recording, Gong Music. Each of its sixteen tracks has three gong parts, arranged left-center-right along the stereo field. Gong parts were recorded as melodies, then re-sampled, pitched into a lower (more oceanic) register, and step sequenced so fragments of the parts resound once each time around a 16-beat time cycle. The music develops as the fragment combinations change and layers of effects rise and fall (like waves) to create an evolving gongscape.
