Pantheon Halo Hijaz Prototype - Daniel Waples Venice 2009

I was lucky enough to meet up with the wonderful and generous Daniel Waples, PANArt Hang player and Hedgemonkey, in Venice CA. He got a chance to give my Pantheon Halo a spin, and what a spin!

Daniel is tremendously talented and had picked up the Halo for the first time a few minutes before I turned on the camera.

Now that Pantheon Steel is officially offering a model called a Hijaz, I wanted to be clear that this Halo is a prototype with a totally different tuning, both from a starting note perspective and also from an interval perspective. This one is a C based Hijaz scale, so it's sort of 'split in half' interval wise with the low note (G) being just above the 'middle' of the interval set. The notes are:

C - G,Ab, Bb, C,Db, E,F G

Hey this is amazing but y panart stops to make hangs

@TheWhat1111111111111 - PANArt is more a collaboration between two artists than a instrument shop. They have moved on and are continuing their explorations into the steel and the form. Their new creation is fascinating, but more suited for personal sonic exploration than busking and music making.

from where i can get some hang drum? please reply me, tnx

[PlayHanghang]

@cdjmk1000 - First, this is not a PANArt hang but a Pantheon Halo prototype. For more information on the Halo go to the website for PanthenonSteel.

Regarding the Hang, PANArt is no longer making what most folks have seen and want, they are making a sound sculpture called a Free Integral Hang, and they don't make enough for the demand so, sadly there's no easy answer to 'how to get one'. Go to the HangBlog. website to get more information about the creation and the situation.

What camera did you use to record this?

[PlayHanghang]

@MusiChameleon Canon S2 IS. One of the best video/camera combos at the time and has stereo mics.

[SuperGOODIS]

[PlayHanghang]

@SuperGOODIS - Literally everywhere, but the price kinda high in patience, listening, experience, and time.

@chachacharla

you dont believe people should be able to acquire anything without knowing the science behind it?^^ so do you have a car, using electricity from nuclear power stations, using UMTS and GPS on your smartphone? only a few examples but what i mean is, that i doubt that you know the science behind everything you are using in your life ;)
