"Tranquil" on Hegalong (Two String Guitar)

"Tranquil"

Original music and performance by Diwa de Leon

This is part of my "Hegalong Project". The hegalong is a two-stringed guitar/boatlute that is native in the Philippines.

I'm creating a series of pieces that features the hegalong combined with electronica and chill out music. For a lengthier explanation of the Hegalong Project, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpbx8qCOqWI

My EP CD "Emergence" can now be purchased online, straight to your portable player:

is Nobu Matsuhisa an inspiration to you? Im only wondering this because the music you make sounds somewhat simular, like i expect to hear one of your songs on a final fantasy game or something (great job keep it up )

@lilnino93 I'm not familiar with Nobu Matsuhisa, but when it comes to one of big inspirations, Nobuo Uematsu comes to mind. :)

I think he is a gamer and should be kinda proud of it!

I mean, really! Who doesnt like a bros T?

[mangdiws]

@ursosaollo well said sir. :)

Yo really beautifull and i love the chilling music but one advice and dont take it wrongly try not wear a luigi T shirt you know try to look more ''professional'' believe me it does make a difference.

[mangdiws]

@csmain Thanks, I respect your opinion. However, a lot of my subscribers are gamers due to the Zelda and Mario videos I have. I want to give them something if not video game music. Cheers. :) BTW, in my experience, it's not the suit that makes professionalism count, it's personal discipline and respect for others.

absolutely love this piece!!! 

[jeffkid9999]

the native people here in the Philippines play the hegalong fast(most of the time). but this man plays it slowly. but it's still good and very relaxing. tnx sir.

[turnermedman1231]

what a grate sound. i to play two string guitar, still learning

@mangdiws I work 12 hour graveyard shifts & find it most difficult to wind down to sleep for my next shift. I really enjoy your music & thank you for educating me on the hegalong. I'd never heard one & the sound is quite beautiful. Have you heard of the bazantar? It was invented & built by Mark Deutsch. If I understand it, as I am a layman here, it's a cross between a bass cello & a sitar. It speaks to me.

[andersantos2000]

I hardly say that, but your work is great! I´m fan of games, and music, and you do a wonderfull union of these two arts in the sound of a exotic and beautfull instrument. You have a huge fan in Brazil, Ms. de Leon.

Congratulations
