About Rafael Sotomayor

TheArtOfFusion Meeting of Arts -Live in Gallustheater - Frankfurt am Main

Art is not just beauty. It is conveying a profound personal message. Any artist should work as mirror of society and reflect the important issues of life. Moreover, as an artist, I feel the obligation to have a positive impact on our reality. It is not important what you achieve with your talent. It is important how you share it.

Rafael Sotomayor

About the Hang:

The Hang (pronounced "hung") was invented in 2000 in Switzerland by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. In the Bernese language, the term “Hang“ refers to the human hand, as the instrument is played with the hands. It is classified as an idiophone and its construction was inspired by the Caribbean steel drum and the Indian gatham.

It consists of two hemispheres of gas-nitrided steel fixed together. The notes are tuned on the upper hemisphere; in the lower hemisphere there is a hand-size hole, the so-called Gu.

The instrument is played on the knees or on the floor. Seven to nine notes are harmonically tuned around a central deep note, the so-called Ding.

This low note can excite the Helmholtz resonance when it is played in a specific way. The frequency of the Helmholtz resonance can be changed by varying the dimension of the hole with the knees.

The first CD "The Vibration of the Hang" is a pure Hang album with relaxing compostions full of overtones and feeling.

On the second CD "TheArtOfFusion - déjà vu" some of the songs have been rearranged with more instruments. New songs are also included. The CD was recorded with six musicians from four different countries and thirteen instruments from four different continents.

Silver Sound - Online Mastering!	Jun 15 2009 3:34 PM Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen. .. NEU!!! Mastering Flatrate! Online Mastering zu fairen Preisen!..
