Sonokinetic – Bowls 1.4.0

Known as meditative musical sounds of tranquility, the bowls we have created for this instrument have a magical quality and radiate pure tones.

These quartz glass bowls produce such a rich and dreamy tone that we found it hard to put down the recording. We sampled four different sized bowls, ranging from 20cm to 25cm in diameter, by striking them with rubber-coated glass mallets. We also rubbed the mallets on the edges of the bowls to produce light and airy notes.

The samples presented here have such a great and complex sound that the AMS microphone system we used to record them gives a completely different character to each of the different microphone positions.

Try it and see what you think of these spiritual sounds.
