Hang #1

Description

Was cleaning out my hard drive and found this mp3 from last year. It's the first hang drum track I ever did and I always intended to post it up as an open collab. I'd love to hear what some of you can make out of this. I sort of ripped it apart and used it in "Into the Tunnel" but it's up for grabs now - have fun - just let me know if you're gonna post something with it.

If I remember correctly it's at 110 bpm and approximately in Dminor. lol....or not.

I'm just putting this up here for y'all to have fun with - please no faves.

************

And it has begun!

TheDanseLeviathan's "space cowboy" version
Reggie Pole's instrumental rock version
ShadowofNine's Far-Eastern ambient version
Doug Somer's Wind dance

	No faves Hahahaha. I don't see how that could ever happen. Your table scraps are a feast to most of us. As I was listening, I DLed it. My iTunes automatically loads and plays my DLs. I heard both tracks playing but offset in time. What a nice effect. I think I will have a go at it. Endless possibilities. What a nice gift. Check out my latest song called Moonset

	Hang #1 Great rhythm and sounds. I kinda like how it stands on it's own but the MJ community should be able to slice and dice this nicely. This is very calming. Perfect before bedtime! Check out my latest song called Wolves

ShadowofNine	ShadowofNine said 1150 days ago (April 26th, 2010)
	Space cowboy was a trip. looking forward to what others come up with... Check out my latest song called Theres a Prog in my Soup

	LOL how's that "no faves please" thing working out for you? you crack me up - what were you THINKING? ANYWAY, i love these hang drums, you have a real gift for percussion rhythm and as others have said, this stands on it's on AND it will be very cool to hear what people come up with. Check out my latest song called Wave Goodbye

Roxylee	Roxylee said 1150 days ago (April 26th, 2010)
	I never even heard of hang drums! Now I read they are almost impossible to buy. This is really pretty, Shay. This is your first recording of the drums? Wow. Check out my latest song called Emma, by davisamerica

Diviner	Diviner said 1150 days ago (April 26th, 2010)
	This is still very nice I do love the hung sound, and since it is open for collab I might just have a go. Lovely :) Check out my latest song called Soiree Sophistication

	hang What a beautiful sound--now I have to google what a hang drum is, as I can't even picture it! I imagine a series of vessels full of water hanging from a tree limb, struck with a rubber mallet. Am I close? Check out my latest song called Till the Tap Runs Dry (album version)

	A mini-symphony - great. I'm listening side-by-side with ShadowofNine's collab on this, "Ghosts of Thailand." He had gret material to work with, in fact he flatly said his goal was to enhance, not dominate this track. And for good reason. It's a mini-symphony all by itself. Wonderful. Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

Char	Char said 1146 days ago (April 29th, 2010)
	I heard two of the collabs earlier. Nice, refreshing sound. You are amazing lady. :) Check out my latest song called When Loving Is One-sided, Music by Bob Rodgers

Doug Somers	Doug Somers said 1141 days ago (May 5th, 2010)
	A timelessness in the rhythm OK, OK - no fave-ing! But if I didn't have to honour your request I would have faved it. This has a steady forward motion with little bursts of energy. It's very musical in its feel. And an open collab eh? hmmmmmm.... Nice one! Very nice! Be well, Doug Check out my latest song called Dad's March 5 2013

	Soft and pulsing Its like your pulling out the notes with each hand strike at least that is what it sounds like to me. I dont think I would touch this its very good the way it is. but then again you never know where some part of this might show up. Great song! Check out my latest song called piece it together

Working with just rhythm...
...is something I haven't tried yet, but this little track has given me some ideas. You have achieved a great deal of variety here and, though there is no melody as such, this composition is one that can easily be listened to many times without it becoming in any way wearing or boring. I wonder where a melodic line might go...Hummmm... (and I wish I had some time...)
