Description

In this episode of Handpan Voices, Werner Kriebaum shares how one unforgettable concert in Vienna sparked a quiet obsession with the handpan — long before he even knew its name.


From discovering the hung in the early 2000s to reconnecting with the instrument during the pandemic, Werner’s journey spans decades, detours, and deep personal growth. He talks about starting with a Rav Vast, learning through Master the Handpan, and the joy of improvisation, slow meditative playing, and finally finding his place in the handpan community.


This is a story of patience, curiosity, and the quiet joy of making music on your own terms.
