Beyond Earth & Sky
Gong Prophet draws inspiration from the gong, one of the oldest musical instruments in the world with examples being traced back over 4,000 years. The name ‘gong’ comes from the island of Java, where one of the major centers of gong production is based. Loren’s extended visits to Indonesia over the years has deeply informed his music.
On this project, Loren enlisted an impressive list of guest musicians to further enhance the bridge between the traditional and modern worlds. Guests include Patrick Bagacina, Forrest Fang, Markus Reuter, Steve Roach, Mark Seelig, Nyoman Wenten and Erik Wollo.
