Metromonk

My new album is kind of divided into two halves, up and down or mountain and city, or maybe Metro and Monk. It features some of my favourite vocalists and the legendary trumpeter Erik Truffaz.

I think after playing the Hang for more than 10 years I've also found a new voice and sound for this instrument, mainly through live audio manipulation. I hope you like the new music (and that I can play it for you live on the upcoming world tour).

Back to performance mode, Manu Delago

A step that you will never regret

I'm currently enjoying a busy touring period with Anoushka Shankar, The Cinematic Orchestra, Nitin Sawhney and my duo Living Room. In the middle of all that I'm very excited about the release of my new single 'A Step' feat. Pete Josef and an amazing video by Jeb Hardwick. The rest of the album will be out in January and I hope to see you on the following tour in Europa, Australia or North America...

Thank you

After more than 70 concerts the Silver Kobalt tour has come to an end and I'm extremely grateful for your support and overwhelming feedback! I'll now give myself a little live-break but will be back on the road with Anoushka Shankar's new album 'Land of Gold' in April and a handful of Silver Kobalt unplugged shows in May.

I guess it's not a secret that I'll use the off-time to work on new material...

With the bestest annual wishes, Manu Delago

Silver Kobalt

My new album is out NOW on Tru Thoughts Records. You can order a CD/Vinyl at EtchShop, get a download on iTunes or buy a copy out of my hands on one of our 40 upcoming concerts arounds Europe.

Once upon a time, before the compact disc was invented, miners were looking for silver ores. On bad days, all they could find was a dubious mineral that they subsequently named, Kobold (German for goblin), believing that goblins had stolen the silver. Eventually, its name evolved to what we now call Cobalt; a chemical element used in aeroplanes, batteries and significantly, our own bodies as a key constituent of vitamin B12 - this supplies us with energy.

Manuscripts

My new album 'Manuscripts' is a collection of various compositions of mine but mainly consists of 2 substantial works:

'CHS' which I recoreded with the Icelandic choir 'Graduale Nobili' and 'Concertino Grosso' for Hang & strings which I recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.

The CD/DVD also includes the 'Manuscripts Documentary' which I'd describe as a very personal film made by Stefan Kroesbacher. It gives insight in my way of composing, rehearsing and performing as well as my general approach to music. The documentary also includes rehearsal and perfomance footage of my concert with the London Symphony Orchestra back in March 2012.

From next week onwards I'll be touring with Christoph Pepe Auer playing concerts for children in Austria and in December there'll be a few selected concerts with 'Manu Delago Handmade'. Many more dates in 2013!!

Enjoy, Manu Delago

Old News

Somehow I managed to delete all news entries from April to July. Looking back I'd like to revisit two videos:

A piano & hang duet that I recorded with the amazing Norwegian musician and producer Bugge Wesseltoft: The Perspective of an Encore

A vuvuzela & hang duet that I recorded before (!) the association football world cup. Looking back I'm almost dissapointed that this video has had more hits than many other videos of mine. I hope that many vuvuzela players can learn from the incredible Mr. Vuvuzela Matt: Hang the Vuvuzela

In the dates section you find new concert dates in Europe and North America. More dates for the 'Living Room' world tour will be announced soon.

Two handsful of sound

My new album 'Made in Silence 2' will be out on the 10th of april. It will contain Youtube's most popular Hang piece Mono Desire as well as a brandnew piece for 10 layers of Hang: Two handsful of sound
The album also contains two tracks with outstanding guest musicians: Cinematic Orchestra's Stuart McCallum and a string trio with musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra.

In the dates section you find new concert dates. More dates for the 'Living Room' world tour will be announced soon.

Is it the track from Youtube?

The answer is 'yes', Nurofen uses my piece Mono Desire - which is also know as 'Hang Drum Solo' - for their current TV commercial. This anti-pain piece has become the most popular Hang piece in the Internet and finally it will be released as part of my new solo CD 'Made in Silence 2'. Four years have passed since I recorded my debut album 'Made in Silence (1)' and I can truly say that my Hang playing got more versatile and mature and that the new tracks are mellower, dreamier and just better than the old ones.

At the same time I have to announce that 'Made in Silence (1)' is no more available on my website but with an email to shop@manudelago.com you can already pre-order the new album and you'll be the first one to get it (in late march)!

In the meantime I'd like to present you part 5 of the Hang & Bass Clarinet Megahits (the first time the I played the Hang without seeing the instrument): James Impossible

Impossible is nothing, Manu Delago

Christmas present?

My original christmas present was a live-clip from my Adventions-Tour but as it is the time of the year when many people eat lots of sweets, I changed my plan and want to set a good example of how to brush your teeth .

I hope you enjoy my second not-Hang video and I promise to upload more Hang music in the new year. Also, I'll release a new solo album in april 2010. It will include the track 'Mono Desire (Hang drum solo)' which has been clicked by more than 2 million people and more new compositions for Hang solo.

Adventions!

I've been working on this album since last christmas. After all I'm very happy with the result and can proudly announce that the CD will be released on 24th november.
To be honest, this wasn't an easy project to start with. I was of the opinion that there are enough christmas albums out there already but more and more people asked for carols played on the Hang. So I started thinking about an interesting concept. Having the Hang and the carols as a beautiful red thread, I invited 12 guest musicians - playing 12 different instruments - and arranged 12 pieces based on inter-traditional carols, all played as different duets and trios.

As a little taster you can watch the recording session of one of the pieces: Adventions - Recording Video

Looking forward to seeing you at a concert, Manu Delago

New Album - Living Room

„…from playful to mellow, a soul-reaching performance…“ – one of the numerous staggering feedbacks on the two Living Room concerts.

After playing together in different band-projects Christoph Pepe Auer and Manu Delago discovered the great complement of the extraordinary instruments Bass Clarinet and Hang. Combining these two instruments the Austrian musicians created a new sound covering a big range of musical styles. This pioneer project had to be recorded in an energetic but very calm surrounding. After different considerations the decision didn’t fall on a recording studio or a concert hall.

A „Living Room“ in Mieming, Austria was the perfect location for the live concerts on 27th and 28th December 2006. The exciting ambience of those unforgettable performances is kept on this pioneer-album „Living Room“.

Living, Manu Delago

Happy 007

I've just recorded a new album which will be released in March 2007. It's a duo-project with Christoph Pepe Auer on the bass clarinet and me on the Hang. Two magical live-concerts have been recorded and the best pieces of the evenings will be on the new CD. Feel free to order my Newsletter in the section "contact"!

Best wishes for 007, Manu Delago

Listen & Watch

The presentation of my debut-album “made in silence” and my live-band “Manu Delago Handmade” in November was a great success. On www.myspace.com/manudelago you can listen to a live-recording of the song “Don’t forget”. There you’ll find also one more little hang-clip of me playing in front of some guitar-amps. Of course I would prefer playing live in front of you but my upcoming concerts are all in Austria (see Dates).

Thanks for the support, Manu Delago

Zeitgeisty

According to the zeitgeist I've managed to settle down in the world wide web. I dare say that I've finished my first solo-album „made in silence“. On that CD I'm playing the magical „Hang“. If you have never heard of this marvellous instrument, please take your time and get to know the sound of the Hang. The Audioplayer on the top right will help you with it. If you like the tunes, feel free to order your copy of „made in silence“!

All the best, Manu Delago
