ON THE WINGS OF THE WINDGONG, 2006 Tracks from this album are the result of experimenting with the Chinese wind gong (Fen), a small instrument (just 55cm in diameter) with a wide-ranging possibilities. Obtaining a large depth of the sound space, despite the recording process (which usually "flattens" the sound), is possible by appropriate recording techniques. Recordings like these, they support spontaneous imagery on the borderline between conscious and asleep, which sometimes may even lead to an OBE state (out of the body). In the Explorers Repository, this album belongs to the "Wave 1 - Searching". The "Wave 1" series consists of experimental recordings from the past. Their quality is comparable to typical products in this sound category (e.g. singing bowls, gongs, chimes, nature), available on the market today.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: "Christopher Jaros is a soundworker, consciousness researcher, and author; in other words - he is a full-time Explorer, like Bob Monroe and similar pioneers. He works with gongs, singing bowls, noise patterns, natural sounds processed by a computer, but is also an overtone singer. He knows how to design a good and effective soundspace. One of his latest developments is something called 'Conscious Sound'. If you believe, that you've heard everything in the soundwork area - you should try such soundscapes. Carefully designed, and very powerful, they are effective in various consciousness applications. Contemplation and deep meditation, relax and sleep, massage (some albums provide a good sound massage for the body, through conventional speakers) and energy work, emotional work with encoded programs and archetypes, but also deep out-of-body journeys, lucid dreaming and guided imagery. The major difference is in the span and quality of the experiences. For example if something like a 'cosmic journeys' or 'past life meetings' was unfamiliar to you, you should begin to get used to such ones. He says, that - 'today, it is somehow difficult to promote a new, good product; every seller will claim, that his or her is the best one. But the simple fact is - only a product that works efficiently - is efficient. Try it, and make your own judgement or opinion, based upon your experiences. And don't worry - although you have no limitations other than you want to perceive - only you can change you, and no one else. These are only a tools for you, to make such changes easier. Have fun, and Happy Journeys'".
