#handpan

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I guess it's time for my Mastodon. account. Hello world, my name is Maja, so called MayBeat. I play drums, handpan, synths and grooveboxes, I'm a sound technician and producer. You can find links to all of my other socials in my profile. Right now I'm beginning to post my own music online so feel free to share. You can also message me here if you'd like. Posts here will be mainly in English, we can talk in English or Polish though. #intro #musicProduction #electronicMusic #drumming #handpan

Eighteen weeks, eighteen tracks :)

This one is an accidental blend of many genres that just decided to fit together in a surprisingly cohesive way. The idea was to iterate on the #dub #techno formula with #handpan chords, but it morphed into a strange #ambient journey through #IDM, #downtempo and even #dubstep.

That wobbly bass appeared out of nowhere and was a joy to make, especially because it's been years since I last dabbled with this kind of sound. I hope you'll like it!

Vu que le monde extérieur est tout pourri, je vous propose de partager ce qui fait votre bulle de sérénité. Je commence :
- quand il fait beau, j’adore me balader avec le chéri dans les marais de mon village. C’est magnifique et apaisant.
- je fais du dessin et de l’animation, en m’inspirant de l’univers zen de Miyazaki.
- je joue avec mon handpan et je me laisse bercer par les sonorités.
Et vous ?

I love the idea of messing with a hang drum / handpan but, dang, they're spendy. And fragile.

I can't help feeling that at least some of the manufacture and maintenance could be automated. Analogous to Plex for guitar necks which does as good a job as a top notch luthier in less time and, potentially, lower cost.

Get a basic shape cut and pressed and let the machine go to work. Take out of machine to go into the automatic oven a few times.

"Did you know why most people don’t start playing the #handpan? You won’t believe it! We ran a poll and it’s because they believe they need to learn music theory first!"

Well, no. It’s because handpans are insanely expensive, not to mention handpan lessons.

It’s no wonder why most players are middle-aged or retired. They’ve reached that point where they can finally afford an expensive hobby. Handpans come with privilege.
