An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

Ever heard of a 'Hang' ? (or Handpan)
Interestingly I encountered this instrument almost 10 years ago in Barcelona, coming across a guy playing one in the Park Guell. Very atmospheric in the surroundings and a CD was purchased called 'Vibrational Relaxation Music'.
Then recently I saw ad for a concert featuring Hang Massive: who are Danny Cudd and Markus Offbeat and discovered this video. Would do wonders as a tourist promotion for Ladakh in Northern India. This is called "The Secret Kissing of the Sun and Moon"... relax and enjoy


A bit more... ?
Because then I found this guy Loris Lombardo who takes it to another level - one man band style - handpan, tabla, kanjira, shaker, darbuka and konnakol. Track called 'Aramir' > www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5KoOI-dIi4
