For the cinematic gong patches, we  experimented with different materials, rubbing superballs, fingernails, scrapes, scrubbing and effects on a variety of gongs and outboard effects.

We also mounted a bass speaker directly on large gongs, triggering different sorts of vibrations from there. Contact microphones, placed directly on the metal, transmitted signals through hardware and sub speaker.

The gongs recorded for Torus deliver at all volumes for a wide range of music styles. The dry-room session includes a wide dynamic range with 9 layers and 3 round robins.  The cinematic gongs are great for sound-design, textures as well as punch hits. And the hall session works great in orchestral settings.

"It’s a feast of metallic and mysterious tones, across all frequency points, from bright to dark and brooding"
