Any genre suggestions welcome ;) Not a clue. Really.

Overtonality

Improvisation after unboxing the Neotone Mutant Digital handpan, made in Hungary. Direct recording via the online app, to my delight  amongst the three most user friendly ever. Didn't notice the WIFI online record option before I bought it, a one button wonder. I used some of the different (lovely!) scales. All default settings, no post-editing or effects at all.

I am absolutely in awe regarding the Neotone Team, who managed the impossible: a digital handpan (or actually multiple handpans!) that are a worthy tribute (and more) to the 'real ones'. The Neotone Mutant sounds and plays incredibly well. The attention to detail - from the mahogany design and soundwise, the 1500 or so samples (per tuning!)  is stunning. Dampening, slapping between tonefields, fundamentals, harmonics, dynamics... Insane.

Also all around it like manual, the app, the customer service: meticulously designed and crafted. It oozes Love and Music from A to Gis.

Successful developing a complicated product like this; the musicality, user friendliness, no compromises here, is extremely rare (I saw quite some NPD's in different fields from nearby so know how hard it is). 

I didn't get paid to sing their praise BTW, and compare them with quality handpans (I own 2 x Jan Borren, Kurd D and Low F Pygmy) and own two great Ravs (D minor and B Celtic Double Ding). Have tried two other electronic handpans -didn't buy-  closer to the sound and feel of seventies wheelcaps... Since I recently started combining ethnic and traditional instruments with electronic music, I got 'the hang of' Neotone. Exceeding my expectations already!

This is really an musical instrument on it's own, that relates to the handpan like a acoustic guitar to an semi-acoustic or electric one. It sounds and plays like a pan (minus the steel feel of course) but opens recording and sound designing possibilities I have yet to explore, from effects to midi. 

When I laid the Neotone Mutant down oops slipped a centimeter and made a metal clunky sound. Details matter ;) So I dedicate these first 'ad hoc' improvisations to Márton and the whole Neotone team.  With a deep, well deserved bow to them all. You made it. Wow.
