Handpan Studio Podcast Handpan Studio Amsterdam

In our second episode of the Handpan Studio Podcast we welcome Amy Naylor. Being surrounded by music from early childhood memories, Amy shares her journey overcomming shyness and social anxiety through music. Her stories of personal growth, community, and the shift from playing covers to creating original compositions are both inspiring and insightful. We also delve into the communal spirit that music can deliver, the empowering resonance of Taiko drumming and the beauty of affinity spaces. Shared passion for music remind us of its power to transform, connect, and uplift. Let the melodies of this conversation carry you away and perhaps even inspire your own musical exploration.

Join us as we welcome our first guest on our podcast, the incredibly talented Dan Mulqueen. Dan tells us about his handpan journey and the music that has influenced his style of playing. He also let's us in on the creative process behind composing handpan music and reflects on his musical evolution, from his early days playing percussion to his innovative solo work with the handpan.

Along the way we swap stories about our first encounters with the handpan, share tips on getting your instrument past TSA and wrap it up with a round of lightning speed Q&A's.
