Lyndon Forster - When Music Helps People

In this episode of Handpan Voices, I’m joined by Lyndon Forster for a thoughtful conversation about music, care, creativity, and the deeper role the handpan can play in people’s lives.Lyndon shares his journey from growing up surrounded by rhythm in Africa, to discovering djembe, finding the handpan, and eventually using music in schools, hospices, retreats, and mental health settings. We talk about his work through We Need Music and Pankind, the calming and connective power of the instrument, and why handpan can become much more than performance.We also explore improvisation, composition, electronic influences, collaboration, teaching, community, and the people who helped shape Lyndon’s path along the way.This is a rich and inspiring conversation about handpan, but even more than that, it’s about music that helps people.If you enjoy the episode, please like, comment and subscribe.For more information about Lyndon and his music, please visit the following links:https://lyndonforster.bandcamp.com/musichttps://lyndonforster.bandcamp.com/album/expressions-of-eremos-demo-1st-live-recordingWe need music CIC : https://www.weneedmusic.org/
