Whats New!

Please join all the fun over at http://www.myspace.com/gongchime. There's free music downloads. You'll have to copy and paste it into your browser. The link doesn't work for some reason. There's lots of great links and interesting people to interact with over there. I'm now working with a world music producer as a music consultant who has also worked with Aerosmith, Yes, The Cranberries and Pauline Oliveros. His name is Randy Raine-Reusch. Great guy. Check him out. http://www.asza.com/r3hm.shtml

I was in the top 10 on broadjam.com and a reviewer gave my song River of Stars the highest rating in all categories. Naturally!!!!

Hear Simple and Clean

At the Garden of Contemplation our motto is Hear Simple and Clean. We're a Traditional Independant Record Label and you can find a lot of free information about how to hear simple and clean, traditional independent world music. You will find information on Asian music, traditional Chinese music, Vietnamese music, Thai music, Cambodian classical music, and Asian musical instruments.

We focus on percussion instruments and string instruments especially Guzheng Instruction. You can also find my world music cd plus tools that can help you learn about world music and traditional cultures of Asia.

If these interest you, read on. Below, and on subsequent pages you will find our providers. Please, purchase some items from them and/or from us. That's what keeps us going. Thank you.

Warning! The Gongchime Ensemble's music may stimulate a voodoo trance, causing your kundalini to rise, opening all your chakras feeding you with cosmic rays and revealing the secret of the golden flower in your crown giving you more compassion. It's a talisman similar to a platonic solid or the great pyramid allowing you to communicate with the purple genii living at the north star. Anyway, if you don't buy something here, you'll get bad karma demerits and will either go to one of the Buddhist hells where your body is dropped on trees covered in razors that slice it in chunks then reconstitute it, repeating the whole process or Garuda will cause your body to return to its unorganized chaotic state as opposed to its current symmetrical and relatively efficient and dynamic one, then you'll be eaten by the Lao Naga now as opposed to much later.

We promise to play Central Thai Funeral Music at your wake :-)
