Quentin Kayser

French multi-instrumentalist, composer and handpan teacher whose melodic work spans reflective solo music, film scoring, workshops and immersive listening experiences.

Quentin Kayser is a French multi-instrumentalist and composer who has developed a substantial handpan practice within a wider musical life. Largely self-taught across more than two decades, he began focusing on the instrument in 2011 and has since released projects including Hexagon, Healing, Evolve, Intentions and Listen. His music often favours clear melodic movement, reflective pacing and carefully shaped emotional arcs rather than dense technical display. He has also composed for films and documentaries, where the handpan becomes part of a broader cinematic palette. Alongside recordings and concerts, he leads workshops and immersive sessions that encourage players to explore composition, listening and individual expression. His profile connects accessible melodic storytelling with professional composition and a strong interest in the instrument’s calming, introspective potential.
