Contrary to various rumors and misunderstandings PANArt continues to build the Integral Hang in 2009. Periods when people can visit the Hangbauhaus and pick their Hanghang are already planned for summer and autumn. The Hang makers are sending letters inviting those who are able to purchase a Hang. The letters contain a statement where they outline their point of view regarding the Hang in the year 2009. The Hang: A sculpture, a listening device. Hang playing: Immersing oneself in a spherical world through intuitive play with the hands. Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer characterize the central aspect of their work as “harmony, equilibrium – proportion”. With the agreement they engage in with their customers they want to establish a culture of trust and respect. The Hang makers have trusted their 2009 statement with the Hangblog to be made available here online:
From Sept 18-21 2009 the Hang Camp U.S.A. will take place at the Apple Farm Arts and Music Center in Elmer, New Jersey. It is announced by its organizers Ron Kravitz and Jessica Styler as “the first opportunity for all Hang players across the United States to meet, learn and share ideas with each other”. A number of workshops from “Improvisation” and “Hang Techniques” to “Sound Healing with the Hang” and “Bodily Injury of Hang Musicians and how to prevent it” are planned. Additional ideas and contributions are welcome. While the camp is mainly offered to Hang players and their musical partners there will be two concerts open to the public on Saturday and Sunday night 8pm. Look for more information at the camp’s website www.hangcampusa.com.
