A few lines from a one string phono fiddle. It is a very rare old instrument seldom found today. It is a single metal string, played with a horsehair bow. The sound is picked up through a phonogram diapraghm and then amplified through a brass horn. This is free for anyone to use as they wish.

Recording of a 28 inch subatomic gong where the sound reverberates in a 22 foot by 11 foot room (same ratio as the kings chamber in the great pyramid). Time between gong hits are allowed to let the sound resonate through the room.
This short piece of music is build with a drum-loop, brass-section, distorted electric guitar and the lead charang synthesizer with effects. It's free to use. This short piece was build with cubase.
I really enjoyed exetone studio's recording of a bell found here - https://freesound. Org/people/exotonestudio/sounds/416992/. I took this sample into melodyne and moved all of its frequencies into "c" range. This gets rid of harmonics and makes the sample well-suited to use as a musical instrument. I prefer the original sample for some purposes. Unprocessed, it has a richer sound. And i also truncated to get rid of a tricky bit i couldn't fix. And i combined stereo tracks into mono, since that works better for an instrument where one wants to control panning inside of a composition. So as a pure sound effect, i recommend the original. This version is just useful as an instrument.
