Equinox [SecretsOfFire]

The Earth goes 'round in its orbit and passes through the September Equinox soon...on the Equinox every place on Earth will enjoy 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, one day when all people the world over will experience our little planet in this same way, regardless of geography, culture, race, language, government, or religion.

How long until we all care for it, and all of its life, equally as well?

This tune incorporates a mixture of different rhythms, including 2 against 3 polyrhythm and interleaved 1 against 2 rhythm. For best effect, listen with headphones.
You'll hear the wind in the trees, crickets, chirping birds, crowing wild roosters, and wild mynah birds. Between time counts 1:55 and 2:11 a wild mynah bird voluntarily makes a raspy call that is synchronized with my chord changes. Honest, he didn't get as much as a bread crumb for his contributions.

Played on a 3rd Generation PanArt Hang. (3rd Gen. Hang Drums were the immediate predecessors to the Integral Hang. They each have unique, unnamed tunings, a ring around the rim, and have brass fused into the steel surface.)

If you like my playing, check out my other videos. If you want to hear other Hang players, check out the YouTube channels of: Dante Bucci (mutlunatic), Manu Delago (lovingmecha), Andisteil, PlayHangHang, In2nation, BeyondTheMountain, Muckledrummer, and Imagineye.

Very nice indeed!

Do you think birds and other animals find it as nice as we do to hear hang music?

Do animals like music?

I mean I love a song even more when I hear some birds singing along..!
