Paiste Neptune Gong 24" - G#2

Neptune takes 164 years to complete one orbit around the Sun. No human being sees it return to the same point in the sky where it was at their birth. It's the planet of the beyond — of the cosmic ocean, of dreams, of what escapes rational understanding. Hans Cousto translated it into frequency: 105.72 Hz, note G#2. A liquid, floating sound with no sharp edges. It doesn't tell you where it ends — it continues, dissolves, leaves behind something you can't quite name. Of all the planetary gongs, Neptune is perhaps the hardest to describe. And maybe that's exactly why it's worth listening to.

A real recording of the instrument — close your eyes and let the sound arrive before the mind does.

The sound of Neptune

Neptune is the eighth planet of the solar system and completes its orbit around the Sun in 164 Earth years — a cycle longer than a human lifetime. Hans Cousto calculated its orbital frequency: 105.72 Hz — note G#2. Neptune's sound is fluid, enveloping, hard to capture in words — it opens slowly, fills the space with subtle harmonics and then dissolves without announcing itself. The planet of mystery, translated into vibration.

• ✦ Frequency 105.72 Hz — note G#2, calculated by Hans Cousto from Neptune's orbit
• ✦ 164-year orbit — the farthest planet in the solar system, whose full cycle outlasts any human lifetime
• ✦ Fluid, ethereal timbre — subtle, enveloping harmonics, a slow dissolve, a sound with no sharp edges
• ✦ 24" diameter — a compact size with a surprisingly wide and diffuse sound field
