An ordinary man playing extraordinary music and NOT the other way around!

And of course my throat,nasal passages,tongue teeth and lips.

And a Boss Loopstation....to bring them all together :)

Influences:

Borg Diem Groenfeld(Holland) was my first overtone teacher.

  Enjoy the C Drone - I posted a collection of different tunings. Would love to hear what you hear when you add your instruments to the 'mix' - HG

  Oh, thank you :)
  My father and my grandfather forged small dinner-gongs. On this basis I developed an new kind of gong-forging since 1994.
  
  

  

  
  You can hear this gong on my page, if you listen to "In die Stille"
