Description

In this heartfelt Village episode of Handpan Voices, Phil chats with rising player  @louis_handpan  Louis Awode about his inspiring musical journey — from buying his first handpan on Amazon to collaborating with Sound-Sculpture and earning praise from seasoned pros.

🎶 Topics covered:

• How a random Instagram scroll reignited Louis’s love for music

• The role of Master the Handpan in his development

• Playing with his father and connecting through rhythm

• Recording tips and overcoming self-doubt

• Muted tone fields and how texture transformed his playing

• Meeting the handpan community in real life — including a magical beach jam in Madeira

Louis reminds us that passion matters more than price, and every player has their own rhythm. This one’s for anyone just starting out — or rediscovering their musical voice
