Handsome Dan is a creation from master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: A stringed Zither with a unique twist. This flat wooden sound box has 14 strings, with a center bridge dividing them into two segments. A magnetic pickup is placed on one side, but the strings are played primarily on the other side, usually with a slide or plectrum. The tone is dreamy and ethereal, with a floating, swelling presence.

Alt Alt is a creation from the mind of musical inventor Bart Hopkin: A board zither with 16 strings, 12 of them tuned to the same pitch and 4 tuned to the octave above. The idea is to sound all 16 strings at once to produce a single grand resonance. The tone is chorusy and lush, with a full, swelling presence.

Young Artist with a scattered brain
I make music for fun

All songs are not inspired or copyrighted from anyone other than myself.

The names of my music come from my brains lazy method of naming(For some reason it likes using E)

Music&sounds for no purpose, music&sounds for no audience, yet music with total devotion and passion. Playing a single chord for hours again&again and feeling it is just right. Standing on a shore, watching a storm with a strong wind in our hair, or whatever. But there is no shore or the storm, or the wind, only a messy bed and walls of the kitchen. Somehow, everything is founded on that single chord, the bed and the walls, even though we played the pipe organ for church services, the double bass in a folklore group, established thousands of virtual and some real punk bands, made the crowds dance with a klezmer band, played noises at exhibitions, giving our music&sounds the purpose and the audience. Kraľovany are the posters stuck on our wall. Publishing our music&sounds may thus seem as a mistake, but no matter how naive and childish it sounds, it is just a simple call for friends to come and sit on the bed and watch the kitchen wall.
