Handpans are new musical instruments inspired by the PANArt Hang, invented in 2001 in Switzerland. A handpan is composed of two half shells of steel glued together. The indentations on the instrument are notes precisely tuned by hand with a hammer. Each note activates several overtones which gives handpans a mesmerizing and rich sound. French native Sylvain Paslier first discovered the hang in 2005. In the years that followed, Sylvain was involved in several musical projects—Keona, Wadhom, Confiture de Hang—which allowed him to perform in France and internationally. Now living in the US with his wife Jill, Sylvain is exploring new musical scenes with handpans. This album is the work of several years composing on 3 instruments: 1st generation hang from PANArt in D Harmonic minor, Equinox+D from Saraz, Oxalista-fa from Saraz.
