Sarah Paz Hyde – Super Bloom of Sound, Ancestry, Voice and Handpan

In this episode of Handpan Voices, we meet Sarah Paz Hyde, a handpan player, singer, and community-builder from the U.S., whose story is rooted in ancestry, healing, and a profound connection to sound.Sarah shares how a 2016 super bloom in Death Valley became the moment she first discovered the handpan—an experience that later inspired the name of her women’s gathering, Super Bloom. From her Filipino and European roots to her early training on violin, she explores how music, breath, and voice can help us face fear, reclaim life, and create space for transformation.We talk about: • Growing up with violin as a grounding force. • Ancestry, identity, and channeling voice as medicine. • Discovering the handpan in the desert and saying “yes” to its call. • Practical tips on improvisation and remembering compositions. • Reclaim Life workshops and why laughter yoga is breathwork in disguise. • Sound meditations, toning, and the healing power of vibration. • Building community through Super Bloom and Heartland Hangout. • Her 19-note E Kurd TacTa handpan from Brazil and the role of voice in shaping her music.A conversation full of warmth, honesty, and the reminder that music is more than notes—it’s breath, ancestry, and a way of returning home.Handpan Voices – Inspiring Voices of the Handpan World.
