Ryan Shelledy - I became attracted to gongs through my inerest in drums and percussion, and I made my first gong in late 2011. The feedback I received about it was encouraging, so I made more. I draw inspiration from everywhere, and I enjoy the challenge of turning a concept into a playable instrument. The risk-and-reward factor is exciting, regarding trying new things. Metallurgy is an interest of mine as well, and I think a lot about what's going on at the grain, or crystal level. While my gongs are made from sheet metal such as NS-12 and other alloys, I have a home foundry and I cast related instruments such as zills and bell plates in bronze.
