7:00pm | Matt Venuti Concert Event – East Meets West Yoga Center
May 17, 2013 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Event: Matt Venuti Concert Event
Join us for an extraordinary concert experience! Matt Venuti will be playing the Hang on Friday evening, May 17 at 7:00 PM.
Matt’s performance opens the heart, quiets the mind, and touches your soul.
More about the Hang:
The Hang is typically played resting on the player’s lap. The Hang is generally played with the hands and fingers instead of mallets. This lighter means of playing produces an overtone-rich sound that could be considered ‘softer’ and ‘warmer’ than the ‘bright’ sound of a mallet based traditional steelpan. The top (Ding) side of the Hang, depending on how it is played, can sound like a harp, bells, or harmonically tuned steelpans. The notes are laid out in a cross pattern in the ‘tone circle’ from low to high so that with a specific orientation of the Hang, the player can ascend or descend the ‘scale’ by alternating using the left and right hands to strike the ‘tone fields’. Each tone field has multiple overtones oriented specifically in the flattened field with a dome at the center. Typically there is a fundamental tone, an overtone tuned to an octave above that fundamental, and an additional overtone a fifth above that octave (twelfth/tritave). The orientation is fairly consistent across the fields on each Hang so that the overtones can be highlighted, muted, or extracted based on how and where the player strikes the tone field… more info
