Facebook Lullaby

Wadhom is composed of a didgeridoo player and two percussionists who are also brilliant hang players. Born from an unexpected meeting, the band intends to merge the oldest instrument of all time known as the didgeridoo (traditional instrument played by the australian aboriginals) and the most recent one known as the hang drum, invented in Switzerland at the beginning of our century. In addition to this, comes the flying waves of the violin and the tribal swing of a dancer. A specific energy and a unique emotion come out of this melting. Enjoy the listening, have a nice trip!

Chaotian

Between the U.K. and France, Keona, an instrumental trio centered on the Hang starts recording and rehearsing for their big two-month gig at the Festival of Nations in Dollywood, TN. The result is a unique record with a variety of instruments—from four different Hang Drums to percussions to the guitar but also including the keyboard and silver flute. Enjoy!

Entre Nous

Remember riding a carousel as a child... 

Galloping up and down on wooden horse seats, mesmerized by all the lights swiftly flying around you. A happy moment. 

This handpan duet is like a happy carousel moment. It is the first piece that my wife Jill and I wrote since we had the chance to get a second handpan. Playing together is like riding a carousel together and waving each time our wooden horses cross each other's path. :)

I'm working on a film soundtrack these days. It's a 6 minute scene and the film director liked this tune (originally Confiture de Hang's Ananas). It's been rejuvenated a bit and I am hoping to record it in studio shortly. What do you think?

Ananas Sound Track (Draft)

This track is part of a movie soundtrack for an independent film, HYPNODREAM, coming out in theaters in early 2015.

It was a really fun project recorded at The Audio Suite in Phoenix by Stephen Harrison. Thanks so much, Steve!

This is the very first EP from Wadhom (spelt Wadohm then). It was never published online and I thought that some of you may enjoy it.

Chaotian Idea

"lost & found" is a new home-recorded piece on three handpans. Although it is still evolving, this recording captures an ambiance I have been working on for some time: It starts disoriented, frantically searching for something... Then, it slows down and enters a phase of recovery and discovery. At last, it finds what it's looking for and ends in a peaceful way—almost fairy-tale-like. Please enjoy this short musical journey! p.s. Thank you to all those who suggested a name for this piece (Ray, Farnaz, JT, etc...), and to Josefin whose title "lost & found" I ended up adopting.

Imminence

This percussive, cinematic and jazzy piece was composed and named as an hommage to my favorite musical find of 2016: Hidden Orchestra, a project by Joe Acheson in the UK recreating an imaginary orchestra with dark musical textures, layers of drums, bass and field recordings. 

In "Unseen Ensemble", the handpan kicks off with a steady beat. Then, come the quiet and sustain strings and the subtle sansula (african piano revisited) melody adding tension with unlikely half-steps. Guitar arpeggio starts. The piano matches the sansula at higher octaves. Upright bass arrives with drums increasing in intensity. With the snare comes the groove, followed by louder instrumentation and more complex drum fills. The end reflects the beginning with the return of the sansula melody and its piano echoes with quieter drums.
