In the year 2024, a branch of PANArt research has brought forth a new form and thus also a new way of play­ing: Pangolo.

The Hang Balu enables a musi­cal exchange in a col­lec­tive, far away from expec­ta­tions and pres­sure to per­form. The Balu instru­ments offer them­selves as a com­mon denom­i­na­tor, as a uni­ver­sal lan­guage to which every­one has access. If you play col­lec­tive­ly, you only need a small con­tri­bu­tion from the indi­vid­ual play­er to cre­ate a com­plex net­work of sounds togeth­er — always car­ried by the pulse, the bass.

Hang® Bal play­ing is a dance. The play­er him­self or her­self becomes an instru­ment. Hang® Bal play­ing allows space for the indi­vid­ual based on a col­lec­tive groove. Togeth­er, a free round dance aris­es. Who­ev­er has music inside will find a place here.

The Hang shown here is still built by PANArt tuners. If you are inter­est­ed in this sound sculp­ture, get in con­tact with the cre­ators and get advice.

A sim­ple sound sculp­ture that has it all.

The Hang Balu Urgu can be played with the Hang Balu Ensemble

The Hang® Godo is a hand played per­cus­sion instru­ment. It does not only rep­re­sent a per­cus­sive chal­lenge, but also requires play­ers with ears for melod­ic bass puls­es. The puls­es of the Helmholtz res­o­nance are sur­pris­ing­ly strong and can be used in a vari­ety of mus­cial styles.

You can order it online here. 

The Hang® Gede is a new mem­ber of the fam­i­ly of Pang® instru­ments, which does­n’t need many words. It speaks for itself.

You can order it online here.
