That was amazing.
Thanks for sharing.

 

[K.Sabot]

Fuck you too man.

 

[ToxicAdam]

This isn't the accordion..

 

[clearacell]

Sounds like I should be playing Donkey Kong Country's underwater level.

 

[TheKaeptain]

wow...

 

[reKon]

Nice

 

[Soakedjunk]

Dammit. I just wasted an hour trying to find out how to get one of these and it involves a long 1-4 year waiting list and lots of money.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Izick]

Beautiful.

 

[Tomat]

Are those egg cartons on his wall?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

it's a'ight, not the most beautiful ever or whatever...

 

[Dizzan]

Wow. Deserves more views

 

[TylerD]

That is really good. Here is some more great hang drum. I came upon this guy looking for steel drum videos a couple of years a go.

[disappeared]

That was nice.

 

[Agnostic]

Good shit.

Yes. Reduces the echo.

 

[krameriffic]

I agree. It's impressive for such simple instruments and a single guy, but it doesn't blow me away.

 

[ghostofsparta]

My man

the video is nice though

 

[East Lake]

Sounds like a slightly different version of the Nothing is Something Worth Doing song he did with Shpongle. Gets good about 2 min in.

 

[akira28]

Sounds like something that should be part of the ChronoCross beach soundtrack

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Wow....that's amazing!!!! Kudos to him.


Isn't that the same music that played in the movie with that kid on a guitar banging in "August Rush"?

 

[Septimius]

Honestly, I find this to be more impressive playing on exactly the same instrument:

(I'm a sucker for anyone that uses 'pinched' harmonics, though)

 

[Baconbitz]

Well, it's not Lana Del Ray so that's a good thing. Seriously, that's pretty cool.

 

[Dead Man]

Very nice, thanks!

 

[hateradio]

Reminds me of when I discovered the mbira a decade ago.

Btw, here's one of the more beautiful "one guy and his instrument" videos I know:

[_Isaac]

That sounds great. Thanks for linking it.

 

[Visceir]

Makes me think of those old Ninja movies I used to love as a kid.

I was hoping this thread would be about the Bon Iver/The Roots Jimmy Fallon performance.

 

[IceCold]

I'm surprised to discover that this instrument is very new (around 10 years old). They are built by only two swiss guys and have a waiting list of 4 years. They retail at 1300 euros but people on ebay are selling these for over $5000. Crazy stuff.

This is so so so good.

I'm subscribing to this thread.

 

[VanWinkle]

Here's a song by a guy named Matt Rach that uses a part of that as a melody.

 

[Uchip]

its nice but so very far from most beautiful

listening to Hang makes me at peace with pretty much everything. Add some competent vocals and this is going to help me fall right to sleep.

Also if you guys like this type of stuff, you'll like Ewan Dobson.

Level 5

Time

Fingerstyle guitar players who plays videogame inspired music. Amazing stuff. I saw him live one time when he randomly came into a restaurant I was in that had an open mic night. Such an amazing performance.

 

[Thoraxes]

It's essentially a hand-drum version of a steel drum (in idiomatics anyways, i've played one). If you want something like it for a slightly less wait (and well, you have to use sticks), send an e-mail to Cliff Alexis for a steel drum.

Add rainymood to most of these songs (http://www.rainymood.com/) and you will be sleeping in a snap.

 

[Clydefrog]

hehehe, his shirt says metal music

Yeah.. thanks! This is simply amazing.

 

[Centurion]

ya, hang drums are awesome.

i got really into these sounds a few years ago. Got all excited and convinced myself I was gonna get one, then I looked into it and saw they were handmade by some dude and there was a huge wait list, and they cost thousands of dollars.....


edit: took me a while to find this one, removed from youtube for some reason.

 

[whitehawk]

You can't see it, but I'm pretty sure it says "metal music sucks" but 'sucks' is hidden.

Sound insulation.

Wow. Deserves more views

Pretty awesome stuff, though I wouldn't necessarily say it "deserves more views". (3,750,674)

I especially liked the ending, just so perfect.

And Equally awesome, on the same note; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8eipuXYWg
