Amalua

Austrian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose long-running Hang practice combines voice, world instruments, ceremony, dance and sound-centred community work.

Amalua is an Austrian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with academic training in voice, rhythm, guitar and saxophone. She began playing a first-generation Hang in 2005 and developed a broad musical practice shaped by travel in South America, encounters with local rhythms and healing traditions, and continued work with voice and acoustic instruments. Albums including Hangkreise, Rainbow Journey and Spirit combine handpan with charango, flutes, guitar and song. Her performances range from intimate sound journeys to more rhythmic band settings designed for movement and dance. She also leads workshops and ceremonies that place music within communal and contemplative contexts. PanScapes should describe these influences respectfully, without treating distinct cultures as one generic spiritual source. Her profile is best understood as a sustained crossover between composition, performance and facilitation.
