Banyan by James Winstanley & Daniel Waples
On first contact the Hang or HandPan is often thought to be an ancient instrument hailing from the East, however its origins are much more recent and closer to home, invented in the year 2000 in Switzerland.
The Hang Drum Project is a collaboration between Hang players
James Winstanley and Daniel Waples.
An evocative combination of original Hang compositions and organic world music, Banyan offers us a powerful accompaniment for yoga, dance and reflection.
The album was recorded in a small village in rural India during 2013.
Physical albums are available here, with free worldwide postage.
