My Music & Videos

Janet's album featuring the PanART Hang.

Listen To Samples

I have found that most people who decide to buy my music want recordings of just the handpan and my vocals. That has caused my Hang Suasion album to become overlooked, as people shy away from it when they discover it contains guitar, flute, and piano tracks.

Ethereal contains favorite songs from Hang Suasion, re-recorded, with only vocal and handpan tracks. Each song is noticeably different than the original version. Ethereal also includes several songs from my very first album, Listen With Your Eyes Closed. That album from 2008 is no longer available. Again, favorite tracks were re-recorded, with new variations.

With my brand new songs added to the list, Ethereal totals 15 songs and plays over 66 minutes ~ enough to cover an hour session of yoga or massage. So get comfortable and enjoy these Ethereal songs ~ may they help to create the ambience you desire!

Blessings and peace,
Janet

Twelve tracks include vocals, while the remaining three songs are handpan solos. Total playing time is just over 66 minutes with the songs arranged to compliment yoga sessions.

The NEW Handpan album from Janet Spahr.

Listen To Samples

After waiting on Pantheon Steel's list for my Halo handpan for over five years, I am happy to offer these compositions which were inspired very soon after it arrived in December 2014. (Eight years almost to the day after receiving my very first handpan in December, 2006!)

The Equinox tuning of my Halo lends itself to melodies expressing contentment, tranquility and joy, along with songs of yearning and contemplation. I have purposely kept the tempo of the songs on this album slower than any of my other albums, ensuring a very relaxing listening experience.

I readily admit that I am not a percussionist, as so many handpan players are. The fast tempos and varied techniques which some players use are quite impressive, but not what I strive to master. I love to sing and play simply for enjoyment, and am blessed to get many wonderfully complimentary responses from listeners! There is something nearly magical about the music of handpans, and I feel very privileged to share my expressions with this intriguing instrument.

This 69 minute album is ideal to use for meditation, yoga, massage, healing arts and creative activities in addition to providing lovely ambience to everyday settings. Five of the songs on this album are instrumental only, whereas twelve compositions include my wordless vocals. I think you will love the harmonies produced by my layered vocal tracks ~ thanks to technology, I can become a choir!

Come along with me on this Mindful Journey which is sure to add peace to your surroundings.

Namaste, Janet

(The CD is currently available only on this website and at my performances.)

Janet's magical vocals, the Hang, and other tastefully included instruments.

Listen To Samples

Hang Suasion was, released in 2010. This album features the handpan, with Janet playing several other instruments (including flute, guitar, shruti box, percussion and piano) added gently to many of this CD's compositions for added texture. Eight of the thirteen tracks include her lovely wordless vocables, and many of those songs also have her own vocal harmonies which add dimension and develop these songs more fully than those of her previous album. This music is very gentle and joyous. Some even consider it spiritual music. Total length of this album is just under 51 minutes.

The Band From Fairyland

Listen To Samples

Dance Fairies Dance began after Oona the Fairy visited a fairy festival this spring. She quite enjoyed the festival, with all of its wonderful music, creative performers and friendly folk of the fairy world, but noted with some regret that there were no Fairy Bands. She was inspired then and there to create music especially for and about Fairies. People from all realms, however, will enjoy and celebrate life with her music, made to inspire and entertain all creatures who have ears to hear and like to dance.

This may be the first produced music video featuring the Hang - it's not your typical camcorder pointing at the player.
This is a promotional video we shot for Janet Spahr's first album "Listen With Your Eyes Closed". Although this song is not on the album it has the same feel and mood.

A week or so before Janet was to perform at her very first Fairie Festival, she was inspired to compose this song. Capturing the spirit of this wonderful event, this video is a window into the fanciful world that springs into existence each May.

Be sure to attend next year for an experience you won't forget!

We hope you enjoyed our homage to some famous "moves" and album covers from the past.

A very special thanks to Posie The Fairy (Dana) for all her help in putting together the costumes and make up!

There has been one video produced for each of Janet's albums so far.
This song is more wistful than Janet's typical, soothing music, thus the subdued setting. The vision for this video had come many years ago when Oh Why was first written, but the opportunity to make it happen took awhile (yes, Ethereal was released a few months ago.) We hope you will enjoy and pass it along.

Janet is playing a 2nd generation Hang by PANArt.
