Hans Christian kicks off a month of performances in Wisconsin with Sonic Immersions – a one-hour, totally acoustic, deep listening experience – kirtan with Ragani, and an intimate gong workshop. From Hans Christian:
Journey to the Heart – Kirtan October 21, 7pm
I am delighted to continue my creative collaboration with Ragani, who is one of the finest kirtan singers in the USA. Please come and join us for this journey.
We’re offering it again!
A special guided evening into music, movement, relaxation, and kirtan. Experience the soul-stirring music by Hans Christian, Ragani’s guided gentle Live in Yoga movement for purification and clarity, followed by a deeper relaxation into peace and stillness. We will conclude the evening with a short kirtan led by Ragani and Hans to bring us all into the heart. It’s going to be a truly magical evening of rejuvenation and bliss…
Feel free to bring a yoga mat, blanket and small pillow for comfort if you wish (though none of those will be necessary). Seating is limited so register early to reserve your seat!

Gong Concert Oct 27, 7pm
“Sonic Immersion” is a 1-hour long concert performed live without electronics or amplification. This type of performance could be called “Source Music, music that emerges from randomness into structure”.
I am bringing nine gongs for these two events ranging in size from 18″-40″.
The main gong used for this concert is a 40” Atlantis gong that weighs over 50 pounds and has an incredible dynamic range. By using different types of mallets to strike, rub, and mute the gongs, a wide variety of tonal expressions can be generated. A gong concert is a complete immersion into sound. The listener should be in a very comfortable position, either lying down or leaning back, to absorb the vibrations of the performance. This is a deep listening experience of the highest order.
(Please arrive 30 min before the concert starts, wear comfortable clothing and bring your favorite pillows, blankets and yoga mats).
