    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″.

    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 www.oreade.com. Also on myspace/earthchakra there is more info about the album and on www.soundclick.com/musicforhang there is a lot of freely downloadable Hang music.
    Thanks a lot - all the best

    Joshua

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

    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.

    …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

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

  19. Robert Says:

    You can hear some tracks from the CD on her MySpace page:

    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.
