Planetary Plate Bells – Harmonic Core

Having worked with precision tuning of the Plate Bells over many years, we can now offer these strongly resonant sound sources in these specially calculated frequencies in standard 2 octaves (C3-C5), and the bass range (C2-B2) on special order.

While Planetary Gongs, through their build and shape, often disperse the actual tonal character of the specified frequency, the Planetary Plate Bells bring the fundamental and its tuned harmonics into the foreground, emphasizing on its actual quality and vibration. They are therefore a perfect match to the work with tuned gongs, in helping to focalize the tonal energy of the fundamental vibration and resonate it into the far field.

Each of the crafted instruments is tuned in its fundamental to the specific, indicated planetary frequency, as well as to its second and fourth harmonic to give a clear ring and sustain of the desired, calculated archetypal vibration.

HAND-CRAFTED PROCESS

As an extra feature the bells can be hand-hammered, and embossed on customized request, to enhance the brilliance of its sound. The hammering condenses the material and somehow makes the bells more dynamic, rich in their spread and inherent movement of the harmonic spectrum, as if the sound has its own life, unfolds, moves, tells its story, reveals the frequency’s meaning.
