  4. Alexandra Says:

    The CD Hangklang of Alexandra Zvekan was produced in 2004. Thanks for listing!

  5. Robert Says:

    I was mistaken about the track on Handmade. The YouTube link I had was for a song called ‘Mono Desire’, a solo piece that is not on Handmade. Here is a YouTube of some of the songs from the live concert that is on the CD/DVD combo:

    Hi Robert,
    thank you for all your notes. You should be decorated with the title “Hang CD Researcher of the year 2007″.

  9. Michael Says:

    Hi andi,
    yes, I was faster ;-) But it’s nice, that the musicians find the Hang CD Index and tell about their new CDs.

  10. joshua samson Says:

    dear webmaster,

    Thank you for mentioning the CD I made for the Oreade label by the name of Earth Chakras. Unfortunately when you click on the cd the link goes to the wrong site. I would be happy if you could repair that to http://www.oreade.com. Also on myspace/earthchakra there is more info about the album and on http://www.soundclick.com/musicforhang there is a lot of freely downloadable Hang music.
    Thanks a lot – all the best

    Joshua

  11. Michael Says:

    Hi Joshua,
    the failure is corrected. Thanks for the hint.

  12. Robert Says:

    I understand that the Soundtrack (and DVD) for the film The Astronaut Farmer features Hang.
    http://www.amazon.com/Astronaut-Farmer-Stuart-Matthewman/dp/B000MGVBXM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1199354282&sr=8-1

    I only heard it in the ‘Funeral’ sample from Amazon.com. I’ll rent the DVD and see what I can see.

  13. Michael Says:

    I think the instrument you can hear in “Funeral” is a steelpan.

  14. Robert Says:

    According to a comment on YouTube the track Falling Away with You by Muse on the ABSOLUTION album supposedly uses Hang for the first verse.

    Sadly Amazon doesn’t have a taste of the first verse, so I can’t confirm it.

  15. cristian trejo p Says:

    …gracias a quienes han creado esto y a quienes verdaderamente ” juegan ” con el hang y la alegria de la musica y las vibraciones del amor…

  16. Saggio Says:

    I have a new CD called Hollow Bone that features two tracks (track 3 and 9) of hang. You can hear the CD at my website or at CD Baby. Would love to be included on your CD index.

    Regards,
    Saggio

  17. Joshua Samson Says:

    Hello ThereHang Lovers,
    a new album is released ‘Zharbia’ by Karim Eharruyen that features Hang on track 3. (5:38). Order and listen at http://www.karimeharruyen.com

    The Oreade album by the title of Earth Chakras is bringing me around – I had the honour to perform solo Hang (and video record) while playing before and in between the presentation of Dan Millman. The clips are on youtube.

    The other unforgettable event was to play solo Hang for over an hour while Dr.Deepak Chopra was sitting on the edge of the stage just taking time to listen, speak, greet and make a personal comment in books for the seemingly endless row of people who were part of the audience for his lecture in Amsterdam.

    The performance before and in between that event are registered and released on CD available at Oreade.com.

    All the best and till soon

    Joshua

    ps respect to Felix AND Sabina for making this wonderful instrument.

    A CD by Laura Inserra (Anandalahari) called “Hang a collection of works”
    http://www.samavesha.com/releases/

  19. Robert Says:

    You can hear some tracks from the CD on her MySpace page:
    http://myspace.com/inserralaura

  20. Nick Toone Says:

    http://www.myspace.com/hadouktrio
    A wonderful eclectic “ethnic jazz” three-piece featuring Didier Malherbe from Gong. Their percussionist Steve Sheehan uses the Hang on their ‘Utopies’ album and features it on the ‘Baldamore’ live album / DVD. Check out this awesome clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lHffmK96lQ

  21. Robert Says:

    Max Oro also has an album:

  22. Rosalie Cirio Says:

    Hey, does anybody know how I can get in touch with Christian Hulsmann? I am trying to gain permission to use a song from his album in an upcoming ballet competition. I tried emailing what is on his CD, but my email came back. Thanks.

  23. Michael Says:

    Hi Rosalie Cirio,
    sorry, I also only know his e-mail address mentioned on his CD-Cover. This e-mail address doesn’t work since several months. I have no means to contact him otherwise and do not know anyone who can.

  24. Nick Toone Says:

    Another “one-off” Hang track is “Old Fools Game” from Gongs “Acid Motherhood” cd. Don’t expect any other Hang niceities on this album though as it’s a bit noisy!

  25. Michael Says:

    Hi Nick,
    the CD is added. Thank you for the information.

  26. Caito Marcondes Says:

    Hi guys, I’m a Hang owner since 2003 and I have been performing with it in european festivals, I have recorded it in my solo cd Auto-Retrato ( Self-Portrait ) and also performed in the last Rudolstadt Festival, when I participated in the special Magic Tamborine Men project, with Glen Velez, Itamar Doari, David Kuckhermann and others.
    I’d like to include my experiences in this fascinating blog.
    All the best

    Caito

  27. Michael Says:

    Hi Caito,
    thank you for the information. Your CD is added.

  28. Karnalis Says:

    Camp Susannah “Happy Today”
    Ray McNamara Hang Player and Composer

    Thanks, Ray

  35. Rugger Says:

    Anyone have any good suggestions on CDs to play along to. Restated music you can play in the background to inspire your practice / playing of the hang drum – music to drum to?

    thanks

    PS – great website

  36. sanat Says:

    saw this british couple in arambol beach play beautiful hang…bought their cds….chk out their profile on myspace.com
    they call themselves ‘hang playing hedge monkeys’

  37. Martin Edney Says:

    I heard a track from a new album by Ravid Goldschmidt and Silvia Perez Cruz played broadcast on BBC Radio 3 by Charlie Gillet a couple of weeks ago. The track in question was Vestida de Nit, and the new album is called Ravid Hang. See http://www.quantumevolution.co.uk/store/music/ravid-hang-cd

  38. Michael Says:

    Hi Martin Edney,
    thanks for the information. I added the new CD to the index.

  39. Michael Says:

    Hi Ray McNamara,
    I added your CD today. Thank you for the hint.

  40. Daniel Tucker Says:

    Just found this directory – awesome resource!
    Could you add my new recording, called simply “Hang Music” [2008] to the list?
    Thanks so much,

  41. Michael Says:

  42. garden gates Says:

    I don’t normally comment on blogs but your post was a real help. Thank you for a great topic, I will be sure to bookmark your site and check it out again. Cheers, Amy xXx.

  43. Robert Says:

    When you have time you might add Leonardo Trincabelli’s name to the list of those who have Hang CDs. The name of his is ‘HangMusig’ but I had to contact him to get a copy of it. I’ve not found it offered online anywhere. There are dozens of recordings of him busking/playing in Barcelona on YouTube.

  44. Stephen Says:

    “Only Natural” by Karnalis has been subject to some changes. Its new name is “Songkeeper: Only Natural,” by Stephen Cumberworth. It features myself on NA flute with Dante Bucci on hang drum on the song “Reminiscence,” which is now track 8. Thanks!

  47. Christina Says:

    I discovered hanghang at the Drum Camp, Suffolk last weekend. Truly magical and inspiring. What a joy it is to happen upon such a wonderful set of sounds from such a seemingly simple creation (though of course I know the creation is FAR from simple!). Thanks to those who brought them and demonstrated them. If only I could have one to play! In the meantime, my world has been enriched.

  48. Pierre Paslier Says:

    Hi!

    We are Pierre and Sylvain Paslier, and our band is called Confiture de Hang. My brother Sylvain plays the Hang and I play the Guitar. We are from Lyon in France and we’ve been playing together now for about 3 years. We’ve started to post some videos of our work a couple of years ago on Youtube under the sylveusneu account and each one of our song is called after a fruit jam. We use to busk in Lyon but Youtube has been a good oportunity to have a return on our music and people encouraged us to record our music. This 8-tracks-CD is now available and mixes the guitar, the hang but also the bass and many drums.
    A few songs will be available soon on the band’s myspace (myspace.com/confituredehang) and our contact is confituredehang@gmail.com.
    I hope that our music will excit your curiosity and hope that it would be possible to be on the Hang CD’s list of your website.

    Thanks and all the best!
