A collective documentation of various instruments - some made by myself, some I've worked on, others I just had the opportunity to play. This mbira was made by G. Rushombwo, tuned to 'Cosmas tuning'. Nice sound, keys are pretty easy to play, flexible.

Hapi Drum, Array Mbira, Hang drum, John Pascuzzi, Patrick Hadley - a strange dream

HAPI Drum from HapiTones.com recorded in the new Integral Scale, key of E, also with Hang Drum and the Array Mbira featuring Patrick Hadley of Array Instruments http No effects are used on the Hapi Drum or Hang Drum, just a touch of reverb..... the monkeys love reverb! The Array Mbira's signal was run through an AdranaLinn 3 processor for sync'd filter effects and delays. The unique tone of the HAPI (hand activated percussion instrument) is created by a tuned vibrating steel tongue. The concept is similar to a wooden tongue drum. When a tongue is quickly and lightly struck with the finger or mallet it vibrates creating sound waves. We have added dampening of the notes and drum body to keep the drum from becoming discordant and "ringy". This technique is built into each drum and provides excellent resonance while supplying the correct amount of dampening. By placing low notes next to the appropriate higher notes we achieve multiple harmonics. Their vibrations create desirable overtones which compliment the timbre of the tone. Players of the Hang, Tank, Hank, and Tongue Drums will enjoy playing a HAPI. Thanks for watching! Hapi Drum and Hang Drum played by John Pascuzzi, Array Mbira played by Patrick Hadley.

MORNING HAS BROKEN (Array Mbira)

I hope you enjoy my arrangement of Morning Has Broken. I would like ask those of you who find peace in prayer or meditation, to listen to it the first time with headphones and eyes closed. I arranged this piece in a way I felt would be almost in prayer. The extra measures and the repetitive bass notes....The tone of this beautiful instrument. Hopefully you'll understand what I mean. Peace. Patti

Amazing Grace Array Mbira (My 9/11 remembrance and tribute)

I don't have any fancy video editing equiptment to create a power point or something like that. There are so many special tributes out there. All I have is my simple camera, my music, and my heart behind the music. I wanted to create something special for the 9/11 remembrance. So here's what I want to dedicate to those lost, those who have lost and our troops, for those who still live each day in such pain from all things related to 9/11. Thanks for listening. Patti

Juj "Mbira Spirit" (The Moon Comes Closer - Project: Mooncircle, 2010)

projectmooncircle.bandcamp.com This is a story about a young Russian girl named Jinna Morocha who had a vision of one day flying to the Moon. Many years ago during the hard times of life in Moscow, the young girl saw the Moon consciously for the first time and at that very moment the dream began. These vivid thoughts remained in her mind and she started to ask herself "How can I get to the Moon?". Soon she found the label Project: Mooncircle over the internet and told them her story, at once she saw a chance to come a few steps closer to her dream. By now Jinna lived in Germany and it was possible for her and the label to meet, her key question was "Can you bring me to the Moon?". The answer was a faltering "No, but maybe we can let you fly to the Moon in your mind. Let's build the soundtrack to this vision, close your eyes, clear your thoughts and let us begin on your journey". That was the beginning of "The Moon Comes Closer", come embark upon this voyage with us lead by the next level soundscapes of: Robot Koch, fLako, Pavel Dovgal, ID 4 Windz, John Robinson, Lambent, 813, Nienvox, Juj, Mr Cooper, MyOwn, Long Arm, Daisuke Tanabe, Graciela Maria, Scienz Of Life, Andy Kayes, Abnormal, Capella, Comfort Fit, Kansano, Gards From KC, Puzzle, Sense of The Q4, Sotu The Traveller, V.

Mbira : Mugara Ndega - Thomas Mapfumo

From an album called 'Unplugged', that seems totally unavailable. I believe that the CD only got a release in Zimbabwe. That was in 2004. Thomas Mapfumo sings with just mbira & hosho. (That's the way I like it BEST) This is a version of Mukai Tiende. I guess that the mbira players here would be Bezil & Ngoni Makombe & that Lancelot Mapfumo adds vocals, but that is only guessing. Anyone wishing this to be pulled for copyright reasons, please mail me here.
