Hi there, I'm Marc. I first saw a Handpan in 2003 in Paris played by a guy with locks...loved it immediately but...wasn't able to afford one at this time and it started to become complicated with PanArt letter policy and waiting list. I was living above for 15 years, travelling from one country to another and forgot a bit the instrument... I'm now playing everyday since November 2022, without real organisation in my playing, but started last month a 2 hours per day playing planning that I'm now structuring...😅 I live in Marseille, France, don't work anymore, I will stay an amateur player, and the 5 players I love the most are Kabeçao (I did a 6 days residence with him last year), Mar Loi (I go to a 5 days residence with her in 2 weeks), Laurent Sureau, Quentin Kayser and Alexandre Lora. On the attached picture I have Kabé's Yishama "Astronaut" on my lap.... 🙏 All the best to you all. Marc

I'm Luiza and live in Oakland, CA but am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've been playing handpan for 9 years now and my current scales/ pans are: Ayasa C# minor Celtic (10 notes/ top only), Oasis Eminor kintsugi (15 notes) and a Hamsa Gmajor Mini with 8 notes. I've been to many Pantasia gatherings and am so looking forward to the next one! I offer sound baths monthly in a gorgeous venue in Berkeley, CA, hit me up if you are local and wanna check it out! Next up is on 11/11/25. My ig is @luizaflips, let's connect!
