Handpan music

I only came across this very recently - I find it an amazing instrument, played in an amazing way, with an amazing sound.

Cheers - that happened just after I posted for me as well.

I've posted a similar track and link to the guy's channel on YouTube. I'm not sure I could listen to a full album of it, but I'm fascinated by the sound of the instrument and how it's played.

Reminds me of steel drums (which they call a guitar, but it isn't a steel guitar...)

That is amazing... It does sound like good meditation music. Though maybe a bit fast?
It looks adorable... like a classic flying saucer.
I want one!

Many, many moons ago. Decades ago, in fact, I remember an article in some New Agey-type journal.

Why this one stuck, I don't know, but in Australia they have miles of fencing, and someone noticed low frequency hum produced by the wind over the wires. I get the gist, length of wire and vibration frequency and all that sort of stuff ... but they experimented with a kind of 'healing hum' and supposedly got interesting results ... mind you, could all have been a load of tosh.

I do know I have a certain visceral response to some order of sounds – I was entranced by the rhythmic sound of a car-wash once (you had to be in the car) ... I've also stood with a smile on my face by the sound from a refrigerator cabinet in a supermarket that took me straight back to a very pleasant evening in a club somewhere ...

And I'm into Philip Glass, Michael Nyman-type minimal music, ambient music, and vocal tones across certain ranges. If I had a musical education, or a good ear, I might have investigated further.

Anyway ... that handpan is really cool.

I've heard of the "rabbit fence" I think they actually showed us a movie about it years ago at Unity Church.
What I don't recall is any mention of the low frequency hum. I don't know if that was referred to in the movie or not.
But that is exactly the kind of thing Unity people would be intrigued by.

Something about this reminds me of statements made by Temple Grandin in one of her books. This is the only thing I could find on it. In this case referred to as "stimming" for people whose nervous systems become overwhelmed by sensory input.

In reality though, I don't think one has to be neurodivergent as such to gain soothing from certain sounds and sensations. I think it is a routine human experience that helps with relaxation or the processing of information, and becomes of even more profound importance to people whose nervous systems become overwhelmed by stimuli. The find something that helps them soothe their systems and order their experience or help themselves process information.
