We are super delighted to host the legendary MIKE TAMBURO for a transformative gong workshop at our home in West Wales, which is open to all levels of playing skills.
Gong Explorations
Join us for a transformative Gong Workshop, open to both beginners and experienced players. This immersive experience is designed to deepen your connection with the gong, develop and fine-tune your playing techniques, and expand your creative expression.
During this workshop you will explore:
Drone Strokes:
Combining fast repetitions of strokes to create resonant, sustaining tones with dynamic variations.
Tone Strokes:
Perfect your single strokes for clear, articulate sounds that add precision to your performance.
Rhythm and Timing:
Explore subdivisions of time, rhythmic patterns, and refine your timing to enhance the flow of your playing—working with both long and short durations of sound.
Texture:
Develop a wide range of textures that add depth and dimension to your music.
Volume Control:
Learn how to shape dynamics for expressive, intentional playing.
Mallet Play and Hand Independence: Explore the interaction between mallets to enrich your sound, experiment with different mallet styles in each hand, and develop strokes that allow for independent tones and rhythms.
Muting and Dampening:
Use your hand or body to stop or dampen the gong’s sound, integrating this technique rhythmically.
Intuitive Improvisation:
Engage in creative exploration using shared techniques, unlocking new variations and sonic possibilities.
Spontaneous Composition:
Develop on-the-spot musical structures and creative responses.
Conduction & Guided Orchestration:
Be a part of a creative soundscape orchestration, directed through gestural or guided cues.
Control:
Refine your touch, articulation, and overall command of the gong.
This workshop provides a supportive space for deep exploration, blending technique with creativity to expand your approach to gong playing.
