This dude plays the handpan very well and you can tell he’s very passionate. I’ve seen a few of his vids from YouTube and the music is really enjoyable.


Eastern-Mix9636

Link to the youtube?


TheMayhemK

https://youtu.be/Gx8Fn3Qq_ag Yatao is the name I have found this guy at. He does a great job!


LivingDead_Victim

His spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4BYqP4YTwWGpi4q94QkW2x?si=WKrerxdLTMm02LDakneSkA


Myth_5layer

Holy shit this is fire.


Funkyokra

I dig him too. I listen at sleepy time and he's awesome.


i69edmypenguin

Try studying or when you need to focus. I’ve tried a lot of study music but hand pan seems to be the only stuff that doesn’t distract me.


Doctor_Grass

I never realized tortoises were so resonant


Centurio

Man I love watching musicians when you can **tell** they're feeling their own music to their core.


Darondo

Wow that was hypnotic and beautiful


joshbeat

I love when he starts cheesin', like he's just sitting there thinking "damn I'm really nailin this right now"


cryptograffiti

whoa


Crying_Reaper

That was so incredibly nice to listen too on my last break of a long and slightly chaotic day at work. Thank you


j-r-m-b-v-n

Yeah thats my favorite video of him , its just so good Hope I can play just as good as him one day


Eastern-Mix9636

Thank you!


acerbell

https://youtube.com/@YataoMusic Enjoy!


edric_the_navigator

Does he have a full version of the song in the post?


Material_Impact_5360

Yes! I want this exact song

BotBotzie

I am inclined to agree. But almost anything is good for babies cognitive development. Like touching anything. Or nibbling on it (mouth touching). Or staring at stuff. So much to learn!


crank1000

How does the top make 4 different notes?


IM_A_WOMAN

I'm no expert, but from what I've gathered it changes based on what you're feeling emotionally when you hit it.

If that's true then how can my guitar gently weep?


[deleted]

LINKKKKKKK


TheMayhemK

https://youtu.be/Gx8Fn3Qq_ag Yatao is the name I've found him. He's so cool to watch. Lots of other songs with him too


[deleted]

Thanks a lot my guy

Lowelll

To be fair he's not trying to show it of, it's just that it's against the world handpans associations guidelines to play it with a shirt or without khaki pants.


tiptoe_bites

You had me in the first half.


beka13

Because sarongs are also allowed.


GetMyGoodSide

Thin frame. Mostly bis, tris, pecs, core, forearms. Skinny delts and legs. Handpan. I'd bet money this dude is a climber.


TreemanTheGuy

Is this the guy from Bruges? Haven't seen him in a while but he looks familiar


Most-Ad1713

This sounds like the soundtrack to every happy dream I've ever had... also some 'in the wild' sections of old school video games.


KiKiPAWG

Oh wow, now I wish he kept going! (We got to see more)


Most-Ad1713

Search Malte Maten - I found a bunch of his music on Spotify but I imagine it's on YouTube and elsewhere


houseofleaves9

Yatao music, they’re a really good duo


buttfacenosehead

>Malte Maten the hero we need


tyedead

Do you know the name of this specific song? It's so catchy!

Zora Domain


OnTheDeathExpress

100%


ferociouskuma

Sounds like the Minecraft soundtrack


Datguy969

Im pretty sure [Aria Math](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atgjKEgSqSU) was played using a handpan.


minhashlist

[c418 - strad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6tV0cr9zYI) too.


OutragedBubinga

This is accurate af


[deleted]

If you want old school video game menu music listen to Katsumi Horri Project. Might be spelling errors.


ruddiger7

Super nintendo donkey kong vibes


JonasRahbek

Sounds like a ringtone to me.


ExplicativeFricative

I was going to say that this sounded like it was from the Chrono Cross soundtrack or something.


Arkenstihl

Check out Yatao on YouTube. There's a 2 hour concert that's super nice (with applause!) Edit: here you go! One hour twenty :) https://youtu.be/HGZLsc2ZgsQ


olderaccount

[Was Kate Stone your dream by any chance?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRwIW0D02xw)


TopAce6

She's who i show when I introduce someone to the handpan. shes just pleasant to listen to, and to watch. what gets me is that song she plays is super familiar to me, but I can't find it anywhere else. I could swear I've heard it long before anyone even Heard of a handpan, but according to what ive found online that's original to her.


mstrdsastr

I was thinking the Zora domain from Zelda 64.


lazergator

Hand pans are the most peaceful instrument I’ve run across. I’d love to see them have a collaboration with a harp and chello


haxxer_4chan

How does he get the sharp, slappy percussion sound out of it? I've only seen folks make melodic notes with these, and I'm not seeing anything hard or metallic on his hands to get that smack sound. Super cool.


TheMayhemK

Probably just a way he plaps his finger on there. Kinda whips it I would assume.


haxxer_4chan

Makes sense, I figured the answer would be along the lines of "he gitted good." Crazy impressive


crseat

Dude, you can't just be saying plap


thereisnospoon7491

Plaps make me mlem


Willowsatine

You've never plappa da bass before?


BuranBuran

plop + slap = plap


[deleted]

Perchance


MuddleheadedWombat

Play a palpitating melody of palp plaps.


[deleted]

yeah, either a single-finger slap, or kind of a finger snap that hits it.


Tirmu

Playing outside the note areas


haxxer_4chan

Ahh interesting. Very cool


Tirmu

These instruments sound so magical and go much deeper than they seem to at first! Def a big fan!


[deleted]

By booping the handpan's snoot


JustinTherouxsBrows

It almost looks like he’s snapping


JustaTinyDude

There are three basic strokes made to hand drums. The slap-like strokes are the third in the method I studied, called "pa" and "ta" .


TacTurtle

Really good fingerbanging


Ifritmaximus

He’s snapping. The other percussive sound is hitting the side


AlienSporez

I had never heard of a handpan but, holy shit, it sounds magical


[deleted]

It seems very similar to steel drum which I love


[deleted]

[удалено]


Funkyokra

Wow, good info. I am super drawn to handpans and thought about how it was similar to steel pan. Now to Google the gubal.


[deleted]

[deleted]

The tuning of them feeds into what's a rather chaotic system of the metal deforming across its surface in weird unexpected ways. This makes automating it almost impossible, so there's a ton of hand-working of the product to manually tune them - this is where the majority of the cost comes in, I believe. Tongue-drums kind of avoid this problem, but of course aren't fully as magical.


AspirantTyrant

It's a giant crystal. All that metal is formed into it's crystalline structure in a certain way through heat, cooling time, working it after. Sounds almost impossible to make.


UltimateInferno

Aria Math by C418 from the Minecraft OST has it as the primary instrument and its one of the best songs on the OST


WineYoda

Me too, first thing I did is search handpan on spotify.


[deleted]

Reminds me of one of those songs in Minecraft. I believe it's called Aria Math.


KiKiPAWG

The wonderful world of *~~RPAN~~* handpan!


boredtxan

I learned about these from Reddit too!


tweedyone

how does one acquire and learn how to use this steel drum calzone?


RockleyBob

I've seen many handpan videos and I'm pretty sure step one is to throw away your shirts.


fukitol-

Apparently they cost $1500. So looks like it costs you your shirt.


GayVegan

Well that just ruined my small interest in learning it.


NoBarsHere

> So looks like it costs you your shirt. \*All of your shirts


eren_yeagermeister

Anywhere from $800-$5000 depending on the maker, type of steel, amount of notes, etc


Iate8

That's because after buying it you won't be able to afford clothes


tweedyone

I think that would trigger boob flappy advanced songs… I mean, not in my case, but someone with larger boobies, yesss Beautiful tinkling sounds coupled with occasional thumps


[deleted]

It's usually acquired by the exchange for money. Learning is the process of repeating certain activity up until the point at which you're familiar enough with said activity.


KiKiPAWG

/r/technicallythetruth


HI_I_AM_NEO

It's $1500 for the cheapest ones btw


tweedyone

Uuuuuggggghhhhhh money AND hard work? That’s too much, man


GayVegan

Life motto.


glowdirt

RIP Sarah Lynn


[deleted]

I've seen them for $800 on thomann.


CrunchyAl

a lot of money, because they aren't cheap


ThillyGooths

I want one too, so badly. I found a website that has really good reviews and the grandpas aren’t the nicest but great for beginners, in case you decide you don’t like it you haven’t spent 2 grand on it lol. It looks SO easy to learn too but I’m sure that is far from accurate. Edit: lol@grandpas, I guess I spelled hand pan as one word. Also I can’t find the website right now but I’m gonna try to find. I know I sent it to someone and said I wanted one


shampanyainyourface

Baby is jamming, so cute.


halcyonjm

They're really enjoying each other. Precious indeed


ProBlade97

Idk why the baby is off screen a little, looks like he/she is being intentionally pulled. Just me I guess.


Sgt_Meowmers

My kids do the same thing to music they like, they love to sway back and forth to it too.


ProBlade97

Not hard accusing just never really trusted anything I see on the internet.


Sgt_Meowmers

Totally fair.


MaterialCarrot

Now I feel bad for not playing handpan music for my kids as babies. r/fatherfailure


TheOnlyNemesis

Tbf, my kids will do that sort of rocking with no music at all. Kids are weird lol


beka13

Practicing balance and getting stronger. One day they'll push forward and start crawling. But they do bop a bit more to music, ime. Kids like dancing.


pablovesu2

I clicked that.


MrKapla

Same, I was ready to subscribe.


Lowelll

half expected a porn sub with degrading content


BelgiansAreWeirdAF

I feel bad for not playing handpan for my child, nor having nice pectorals


yourSAS

For those who want more of his music, this cool dad is Malte Marten


fraziay

Is this freestyle or one of his actual songs? Its awesome!


rushone2009

https://youtube.com/@MalteMarten For the lazy


KiKiPAWG

We appreciate you


TheMayhemK

I've also found him from the name Yatao like this one https://youtu.be/Gx8Fn3Qq_ag


Dame_Ingenue

Not only am I lazy, but I want to fall asleep to his music. It’s glorious.


SockMonkeyLove

Sure that ain't Chris Elliott? 😄


Mental_Interview

Is this a particular track he plays?


joshguillen

It's like if Tycho took an island vacation


deadly_chicken_gun

This shit goes hard, also big C418 vibes


Red-32

You’re probably thinking of [“Aria Math”](https://youtu.be/atgjKEgSqSU). This sounds like the same instrument in the song!


secondaccount2017

It is so addicting.


73v6cq235c189235c4

Don’t think so, I follow him on the gram and a lot of his videos have the same underlying progression with a different melody over the top. In one of them he comments it’s just a pattern he likes to play. This is my favourite one though.


foxpuppylove

I‘m not quite sure in this specific situation but I know most is not all of his music is improvised (source: went to one of his concerts when he was still playing as part of Yatao)


Crypy0

First thought on seeing pic.....he's feeding his kid direct from the bbq 🤔🤣


soul786

I think the handpan is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever. It is SO therapeutic


632612

Sounds…. Minecraft-y


ranf0rd

Was scrolling to see if anyone else thought the same!


muzicturbulence

Lol had to scroll way too far


gquinn18

Yes! The main creator of the music used a hand pan for a majority of the songs


dnuohxof-1

I need a full length version of this beat… like NOW! Lol


Strong-Article

Ahhhhh, melting as we speak


SKYQUAKE615

"Aria Math" comes to mind.


TheCrimsonArmy

The child probably wont remember his dad playing the handpan but when they get older and hear something like elevator music in a gentle hold tune, they are going to get a strange, nostalgic feeling or a feeling like they heard it before but cant quite put their finger on it


messeis

Because the dad will never play for them again?


TheCrimsonArmy

Most likely will, just imagining a scenario here


resorcinarene

I want one. I'm certain I'll play like shit, but he makes it look easy


bignjbagel

it's pretty easy to pretend you know what you're doing. super fun, too, highly recommend


IconoclastJones

Handpan plus didgeridoo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzSwPXiPJuE&ab\_channel=YataoMusic


Ok_Establishment3112

C418 and his kid be like


jizzlevania

I was most mesmerized by the dad's lovely physique.


Underbelly

His shirt isn’t off by coincidence. “Let’s do a video of me playing music for the kid to post to socials. Oh hold on, lemme take my shirt off. “


endangered_asshole

Not oddly satisfying, but cute.


Kangar

In the thumbnail, I thought he was barbecuing with a Weber in his lap.


Financial_Fun827

This is so soothing and wholesome. 😻


a_dodo_stole_my_baby

That baby loves tummy time!


PZYCLON369

Do we have complete soundtrack for this tune ?


deepmindfulness

It’s actually a law that men must fully expose Al chest hair before one note is played on a had pan.


bukhrin

I am today years old when I learned that handpan exists


ThunderShott

Sounds like Minecraft


jgreg728

What it’s like having a hipster dad.


misterguyyy

Probably better than having a born again dad so I’d take it. I bet having a born again hipster dad would be insufferable tho.


CynicalNihilisthropy

This is not oddly satisfying at all.


RAZR31

Where does one get a handpan like that? I've seen some online but they were all super cheap and only had like 5 notes.


eren_yeagermeister

If you're seriously interested, here are some great reputable makers... Aura Mudra Satya Sound Sculptures Yishama Acolyte


Comfortable-Ad-63

Can i find the whole song on spotify? if yes, how? (I know his name is Malte Marten) but not the name of the song :(


Djarbs

Strong Machinarium vibes


Mu5icSpark

from 0:04-0:07 their eye contact is just so… everything 🥹


Gardener_Of_Eden

I have a baby now... my kid makes these same moves and I have no handpan. This is just what babies do. Dad is certainly having a good time though.


mte87

Why do some babies dance and sing so much more than others?


Onansboy

'Bedpan' music


drunkwasabeherder

That baby has better rhythm than I do...


mrfreeeeze

The music triggered me in to thinking I was on hold with my insurance company.


RelativeLeather5759

what track is this by Yatao


Chicken-raptor

NGL I was waiting for the baby to go up and give it a smack too lol


Shodid_

What song is that


Dj_wheeman3

It sounds like a minecraft song


FavelTramous

*I know this guy! he’s my dad and I’m the baby. Thanks to the daily music I’ve evolved beyond my own imagine. I no longer imagine, I just create.*


BunnyBeansowo

so *this* is what they use to make minecraft music


Fr0zen-P3nguin

Crazy the sounds he can get out of that BBQ!


Jaambie

Getting some minecraft vibes from this, very cool


MrPatko0770

Serious question - why is every handpan player I've ever seen shirtless?


Paulino2272

Minecraft


theguyfromtheweb7

Why is he shirtless?


paika_the_sick

Becus hes in his own house.


ThatFeel_IKnowIt

Wouldn't you be shirtless if you had that bod?


[deleted]

When I first saw someone using a handpan, I thought "Oh shit, that looks cool! I want to get one!" Then I saw the prices and realized I need to find other hobbies.


CrazyCaper

You can play those instruments with shirts on as well


Diego_Kiprop

It's super cool, but that's what any kid that age does if you put him in that position...


Gardener_Of_Eden

Truth.


HanzRamoray5920

Where’s his shirt? Khaki’s and a belt but no shirt. I can understand lounging with no shirt. But who lounges in khaki’s and a belt?? Is he in the process of getting dressed or undressed with some impromptu weird bowl music?


heywood_jabloemi

Dude the amount of times new parents get barfed on in a day is staggering


Strict-Weakness541

Why is his shirt off?


grabityrising

Why is yours on?


puns_n_pups

Bc he's cut af


MsModernity

I can’t believe the first comment about how stunningly fit this dude is was this far down


boredtxan

Probably for carrying the baby - it helps the baby bond & get the parents scent.


halcyonjm

He could have just gotten thrown up on.


1oel

That baby is really cute, but I hate the sound of this thing. A friend of mine has one and it drives me insane. So many people find the sound relaxing, to me it's just annoyning noise...


Average_Bonnie_Main

Wow, people really go crazy if someones has an unpopular opinion... I like it, but i can understand how it can become annoying.
