WE ARE GLAD TO BE PART
OF THE WORLDWIDE HANDPAN COMMUNITY AND WE ARE HAPPY
TO PRESENT YOU SOME OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS
GO for HANDPAN
GOforHANDPAN – Individuelles für Handpan-Spieler:innen
Mehr durch Zufall bin ich, inGO von GO∞OM, auf die Idee mit GOforHANDPAN gekommen. Produkte, die mich als Handpan-Spieler begeistert haben, musste ich umständlich im Ausland besorgen. Oft Zeit aufwändig ohne zu wissen, wie das funktionieren kann und was dann so ankommen wird. Warum also nicht die gemachten Erfahrungen für andere zugänglich machen. Ist doch im deutschsprachigen Raum ganz praktisch für andere Handpan-Spieler:innen, wenn sie direkt hier bestellen können. Gesagt, getan. Hier ist www.GOforHANDPAN.de
Hier bekommst du direkt ab Lager:
SPand V3 Handpan-Ständer
Kardos Kinetic Handpan-Cases vom Künstler László Kardos
Phoenix Handpan-Pflegeöl
MEGA XL Kalebasse
und vieles mehr

DAN MULQUEEN
Dan Mulqueen is an American multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey. Dan’s music is centered around an instrument called the “Handpan”, an instrument created in 2001 in Switzerland. This instrument allows the player to create a rhythm and a melody simultaneously using only the hands.
Determined to push the limits of music revolving around this instrument, Dan’s playing style is both beautifully melodic and intensely percussive. His stylistic approach invites the listener to experience elements of multiple genres of music all housed in one easily digestible format. While keeping the handpan as the centerpiece of his compositions, Dan’s recordings also feature instruments such as upright bass, piano, electronic beats, guest vocals and more.
Dan has over 18 years of percussion experience in genres like hip-hop, rock, reggae, trip-hop, electronic, blues and latin. When asked about how these genres inspire his writing process, Dan responded “…it’s important to me to take my favorite elements of multiple genres and blend them into something different. You’d be really surprised how open people are to music when they can identify with even a tiny element of it.”
In addition to multiple solo tours across Australia, Europe and the USA, Mulqueen has also shared the stage with Shpongle for two sold out concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado and collaborated with artists such as Long Arm, Zebbler Encanti Experience and many more.
No matter what kind of music you’re into, Dan has something in his music catalog for you. His music spans across multiple genres and grabs the attention of both casual music listeners and die-hard music lovers. So kick back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of Dan Mulqueen and the handpan!
LEA VALENTINA
Lea Valentina
Musikalisch auszudrücken, was ich auf meinen Reisen in der Welt und im Inneren erlebe, ist mein Weg, mich der Weite des Universums in Dankbarkeit zu öffnen und diese Freude in Form von Liedern und Texten zu teilen. Fragen zu unserem Dasein, zum Umgang mit der Natur und zu unserem Zusammenleben kommen auf. Antworten suche ich mit meinen Handpans, mit Stimme, mit der Gitarre, Flöte und Percussion – mit dem Ziel, jeden Tag ein Stücken authentischer zu werden und immer mehr anzukommen, im inneren Zuhause.
Handpan Unterricht und Workshops in München
Meine Leidenschaft des Handpan Spielens weiterzugeben ist mir eine Herzensangelegenheit. Musik ist für mich ein Spiegel der Seele und ein wunderbarer Raum, um zu experimentieren und sich ganz neu auszuprobieren. Sich gemeinsam auf die Reise zu machen macht mir am meisten Spaß. Ich gebe Handpan Unterricht in meiner Heimatstadt München und organisiere Handpan – Workshops für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene in verschiedenen Städten.

MARCEL HUTTER
I am a musician and handpan player from Linz (located in Austria/Europe).
I got my first handpan in 2012 and because there was no one who could have taught me how to play it, I started experiencing it by myself.
A completely new chapter of my life began, because of my (seemingly) endless passion for this instruments, and now I am travelling around the world while my collection of handpans is growing more and more.

RAFAEL SOTOMAYOR
Rafael Sotomayor / TheArtOfFusion / Opsilon Handpan
Avantgardistische Weltmusik der neuen Generation, die in einem lebendigen Mix verschiedenste Instrumente miteinander verschmilzt. Die Basis dieser Melange besteht aus meditativem Hang, jazzigem Schlagzeug, groovigem Bass, sowie Klängen der Gitarre vereint mit fließenden Melodien und mitreißenden Rythmen. Das Ergebnis ist eine atemberaubende, unvergessliche Show.
Das Hang ist ein seltenes und erst im Jahr 2000 in der Schweiz erfundenes Instrument. Aufgrund seiner Einzigartigkeit, als Mischung aus karibischer Steeldrum und indischem Gatham, sowie der nicht Kommerzialisierung eroberte und bereicherte es die Welt der Musik.
Sein sphärischer Klang aus einer Vielzahl an Obertönen und raumfüllender Vibration bildet mit den Kompositionen von TheArtOfFusion eine organische musikalische Einheit, die sich jeder klaren musikalischen Kategorie entzieht.
Der Kern der Band um den Hangspieler Rafael Sotomayor, der das Projekt 2006 gegründet hat, wird immer wieder von talentierten Gastmusikern und -Tänzern verschiedener Kulturen ergänzt.
