Hang Drum & Orchestra - Chatoyant

This is video #3 in my Cinematic Improv Series, where I improvise, experiment and live loop cinematic pieces in the moment after hitting "record".
For this one, I featured some hang drums I discovered while traveling through Bali, that I just HAD to pick up and bring back home.
They have such a relaxing, calm and ethereal sound that I cannot get enough of. Here’s the thing though - instead of looping in this video, I am playing two instruments at once, with one hand on each!
So I got one hand playing the hang drum, and one hand on my keyboard.
Watch my first attempt to improvise something while playing both together! It was really challenging playing completely different rhythms and melodies with each hand all while coming up with a little theme, but lots of fun.

What do you think of the hang drums? Have you ever played one?

I see you named this piece, Mr. Arn. Chatoyant. It literally means,"to shine like the cat's eye." I think this word fits this piece perfectly!

[@EsesinforLearning]

The best, the drums add more resonance and make the sound more sink in with the keyboard. Thanks for the wonderful music

[@claudinerico8256]

J'adore ce que vous faites. C'est magique Je le transmets à mes contacts. Un plus long morceau serait sympa si cela est possible. À bientôt. Mes amitiés 🤗

[@bowzer2405]

Wow! I love the hang drums. Never seen or heard of them until now. The calm notes make me think I'm on a beach or an island, just walking on the sand, along the waves, and just taking in the environment.

[@ArnAndersson]

Very tropical and relaxing feeling for sure! Glad you like them’

[@CasperSpark]

These extended chords in the progression are so beautiful!

[@ArnAndersson]

Thanks Casper, had a lot of fun!

[@thetunaman]

Just finished listening to all four improvs. They're each stunning, not sure which I love best! Thank you for sharing your talent. :)

[@JulianKammer]

Very very harmonic music! Thank you for this song!

[@rays104]

I heard your first composition of 5:years ago barely a minute ago and then 20 seconds into this video I must say I am listening to the next musical prodigy.

[@JordanHarris]

Could have been the menu theme song for Halo 2 Just as inspiring and calming :)

[@oliviasagor9435]

Wow, this one has super grand vibes! Superb as always, though. I'd never heard of the hang drums before now! They sound really cool though, a sound I'd like to hear more in music!

[@ArnAndersson]

Thank you Olivia! I will definitely feature them more, and also in a more intimate situation where they are getting more justice as well! Beautiful but minimal instruments!

[@oliviasagor9435]

@@ArnAndersson I can't wait to hear them brought more glory! Looking forward to your next video :)

[@thetunaman]

Arn, I can guarantee that if you made this one into a full piece with some visuals behind it, it would be a hit, and not just because I'd listen on repeat! I love this one, hang drums are critically underused in music.

[@woochulyoon]

so nice~!

[@jkmediaat]

Really great has a little bit of Farewell Life please do more I love it!

[@JackHagar]

Loving this KZbin comeback! These improv videos are not only impressive but also extremely motivating for others to get into some composing since it shows how you can create some truly amazing sounds in a short session!

[@ArnAndersson]

Thanks Jack, hope it can motivate someone to pick up instruments and play around!

[@chimerakait]

For some reason KZbin Unrung the bell. But I’m glad to rediscover your channel again. I saw hang drum in the title and never clicked a video so fast. It’s such a beautiful sound that I don’t see a lot of on the net; so I’m happy more artists are discovering this beauty. Would love to hear more

[@lannael.]

Just WOW!

[@carinevaye1007]

Beautiful 😊 Like it

[@RecovreGaming]

Lovely wonderful 🤗🤗🤗

[@KevinMuellerMusic]

Amazing Arn! It's always great to hear exotic instruments together with an orchestra. Would love to see more of it. :)

[@ArnAndersson]

Thank you, will definitely do more stuff like this!

[@Anuqz]

A friend of mine, Boris Cecez, plays a hang as well, though not those small drums. Once you really get into the instrument, a hang is damn powerful just by itself. Nice improv!

[@ArnAndersson]

Awesome! Such great instruments

[@countryside_guy]

This gave me goosebumps. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ArnAndersson]

Thank you 🙏 very happy you enjoyed it

[@themensageirodaluz]

This song touched my soul deeply. I would be happier if I had at least 4 minutes of sound. Congratulations and may God bless you immensely.

[@ArnAndersson]
