Aidan McIntyre first encountered the gong in 1993, an experience that redirected his life toward sharing and researching sound work. Singing bowls entered his practice around the same time and remain a core part of his instrumentation. He is an accomplished gong player, singing bowl master, and sound artist with thirty years of experience in sound therapy. Together with Don Conreaux, he co-created the Gong Master Training course, which has been taught throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Australia. He also developed the RotoGong 360 apparatus, which sets a gong into rotational motion so its harmonics disperse bidirectionally through a space. When not traveling to teach, McIntyre offers one-to-one gong therapy from his home in Gloucestershire, England.
