Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The IG136 belongs to the Infinity-Gong family, instruments designed around specific tunings, here centered on the "Earth tone" at 136.1 Hz. This version is positioned as a model particularly focused on the bodily experience of vibration: a clear fundamental, minimally invasive harmonics, and a sensation of pulsation that develops over the resonance. It is a relevant choice when the goal is not only the sound color but also vibrational stability and the consistency of an auditory reference point.
Who This Gong Is For
This gong is intended for musicians, practitioners, and enthusiasts seeking an expressive yet accessible instrument: the attack is easy to master, and the fundamental tone helps guide listening without requiring complex percussion technique. It suits beginners (to explore resonance and dynamics) as well as intermediate and advanced levels (to work on attack precision, duration, and intention). It naturally fits in meditation, relaxation, sound or music therapy, and also on stage to create a sound bed, an anchor point, or a striking transition.
