Cosmic tuned planetary ambience live improvisation with Marko Bussian (aka Healing Frequencies) on synthesizers and harmonium and Konstantin Jagoulis (aka Gong Master / Kosma Solarius) on gongs and atmospheric-effects.
The entire session is tuned to the Venus year (yearly orbital cycle), at a master tuning of 442.46 Hz. The orbital frequency is 221.229 Hz at the 32nd octave, which is an A. The tempo is 103.70 BPM and the octave-analogue colour is "yellow-orange".
List of used instruments:

The Constellation is a newly formed project by Marko and Konstantin and the sound reminds on the 70's ambient synthesizer music, like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis or Jean-Michel Jarre.
The gongs are Symphonic Planet Gongs and each gong is tuned to a particular orbital frequency. Four of these gongs, made by the manufacture PAiSTe are the first-ever made gongs and the idea to tune symphonic gongs to the planet tones came from Jens Zygar (gong master and percussionist), who also developed this particular gong playing technique called 'soft manner', which enables a very precise articulation of the rich sound spectrum.
The planetary orbital frequencies are based on the so-called "Cosmic Octave" calculations by the Swiss mathematician Hans Cousto.
