A film by Forged by fire and intention at a volcano, a gong becomes the center of an immersive journey where sound, nature, and consciousness merge into a transformative experience.
The film follows the creation process of a gong in a powerful setting: a volcano. With great mindfulness, intention, and a deep connection to nature, a unique alchemy unfolds—where matter, sound, and consciousness become intertwined. The volcano is not merely a backdrop, but an active co-creator, serving as a source of energy, rhythm, and inspiration.

In the second half of the documentary, the so-called “resonance field ceremonies” begin to open. Through the sound of the gong, experiential spaces emerge in which one’s true essence can be felt. A sense of deep trust may be nurtured, inner clarity deepened, and perception expanded—from doing into pure being. The film invites the audience not only to hear sound, but to experience it as a transformative force—a bridge between human beings, nature, and their inner origin.

Director’s statement (Ludwig Valenta):
“A film that reminds, awakens, and brings you home.”
