about

I was inspired to write this piece after Tsoof played my Saraz
for the first time. One of the first things he played was this riff
you will hear throughout the piece; when I tried to play the riff,
however, it just didn’t sound or feel the same (I knew I had some
practice to do!) Tsoof brings close to two decades of African
hand drumming experience to his handpan playing and with
that, you can hear some amazing subtleties in the way that he
plays. Nonetheless, I thought to myself, “I’m only a few little
adjustments away - I’ll practice this riff and I’ll get it!”

This experience reminded me of Tony Robbins when he explained
that, in golf, the difference between a successful shot and a
terrible shot literally comes down to a millimetre shift with the
angle of the club and where it meets the ball. Musically speaking,
Tsoof and I have taken this theme of making adjustments further
by trying to get the most we can out of the one riff idea through
countermelodies, layering different rhythms and walking around
to the other side of the handpan so we both have a turn at playing
the riff (obviously you can’t see this in the recording but you’ll
hear it!). One adjustment makes all the difference!

Two years on after first hearing Tsoof play this riff, I now realise
that – in many ways – it would be silly for me to try to play exactly
like Tsoof. The handpan is such a unique, personal instrument
and we each bring our own touch and our own musical quirks to
the music. And we should embrace that!
