Paiste Planet Gongs are tuned to the orbits of the celestial bodies in our solar system. These frequencies are made audible thanks to the groundbreaking work of Hans Cousto, author of The Cosmic Octave.

Planet Gongs are similar to Paiste's Symphonic Gong series. The difference is that each gong is tuned to a dominant fundamental tone as listed, as well as a prominent harmonic overtone in the 4th octave.

Listeners can experience the energy of these celestial bodies via the vibrations these gongs create. When played with intention, Planet Gongs open up possibilities for spiritual and emotional healing.

The Paiste Mars Gong. Long honored in myths along with all the celestial planetary guides, Mars was associated with gods of destruction. Perhaps it was its apparent backwards path along the sky moving from west to east instead of east to west. Death to life vs. life to death. Perhaps it was it’s red hue from oxidized iron, the same chemical reaction that turns blood red. We don’t know because we’ve come a long way, baby! We now have science to balance the stories and feelings of our experience of the universe.

One scientist for the Mars Science Laboratory affectionately likened Mars, fourth planet from our home Sun, to “finding a dusty Earth in your attic. Shake off the dust a bit, and it’s this amazing place that you can recognize.” We like it because we know there is still life there.

Maybe you are experiencing a little death in life and need a reminder that death moves to life. Forwards, backwards, here we are circling the sun and right here on Earth we have a Mars Gong for you tuned to our little brother planet that can help with strengthened will and focused energy to move through life here and beyond, if that’s where you’d like to go.
