A maniacal obsession for sound manipulation is transformed into evocative landscapes and tribal rhythms. Polybeat music is a strange equilibrium where everything sounds new and ancient at the same time, a continuous fight between heaven and hell.

Polybeat recorded a performance of Shanks Putwain on the Hang* and manipulated its sounds beyond recognition with a complex system of compressors, filters and effects. Don’t miss it.
*The Hang is a musical instrument in the idiophone class created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern, Switzerland. The Hang is constructed from two half-shells of deep drawn, nitrided steel sheet glued together at the rim leaving the inside hollow. The top side has a center ‘note’ hammered into it and seven or eight ‘tone fields’ hammered around the center. The bottom is a plain surface that has a rolled hole in the center with a tuned note that can be created when the rim is struck.
