'Welcome to the Sound Forge'

It all Started..

.. over 10 years ago, I remember that voice whispering to me that one day it would change my life. At that moment, I still had no idea just how profoundly it would reshape every part of it, even the country I was living in.

If each of us has at least one mission in this life, I know I am living mine now - guiding you on your journey to meet yourself through the vibrations of the Handpan & create Your Unique Instrument!

I like to define the concept of TEAM as 'Together Everyone Achieves More' to highlight that together, we go further.

Although this brings new challenges, it also adds great value by pooling diverse skills.

This is an opportunity to continue innovating, pushing the boundaries of creativity, and delivering strong, memorable emotions.

With this larger team, our projects are completed more quickly, our ideas explored more deeply, and your overall Handpan experience is enhanced.

Vince

I created the first Mystical Steel Handpan in 2017 after 11 months of daily research and determination.

I come from a family of artistic craftsmen specializing in blacksmithing, sculpture, and other visual arts.

I lived abroad for a long time, gaining numerous professional and personal experiences. A key point in my 'previous life' was managing teams in film studios in Canada, such as DreamWorks, which gave meaning to many years of higher education.

Working on the film The Little Prince, based on Saint-Exupéry's work, particularly resonated with me as it portrays a misunderstood man who draws and faces his destiny (an engine failure in the middle of the desert). Inevitably, his consciousness becomes weary... Unless it manages to transcend its mortal position, bound by circumstantial determinism, to manifest its freedom through voluntary actions.

This period in my life marked a turning point as I faced the futility of the path I was on in a society that shapes us to be useful, only to realize it did not inspire me.

I eventually turned to the hammer, like my father before me, and to my passion for music and my fascination with the Handpan, which now gives meaning to each new day.

Marion

As an interior architect and graphic designer by profession, I have been passionate about drawing, art history, and especially the richness and delicacy of ornamentation from all cultures since childhood.

Every form of art transcends me and fuels my curiosity.

I discovered the handpan about a decade ago, thanks to a street performer: its melody drew me in like a siren's song, marking the beginning of my fascination with this instrument.

I then came across the work of Vince, which, beyond its professionalism, crafts patinas to give handpans the appearance of art pieces.

So it was a resounding yes when he asked me to add my engravings!

As an equine therapy practitioner, horses have taught me about connection, grounding, and conscious 'feeling.' I apply this attentive listening to those seeking a personalized engraving, offering them a unique design with a gentle, vibrant energy that truly reflects their essence.

It is also possible to let my imagination run free, providing a complete surprise for your creation!

I am honored today to be part of this passionate heart family; what a wonderful adventure it is to enhance your handpan!

Warren

As a member of the Mystical Steel family and a handpan artist, I am also a shamanic practitioner, holistic energy healer, and facilitator of retreats and sacred ceremonies.

My first encounter with the handpan was on YouTube about a decade ago. Eight years later, I experienced a profound infatuation.

At that moment, a great adventure began, transforming my entire life.

Meeting this instrument, a vibrational tool, has allowed me to connect with myself more deeply each day and has led me to meet extraordinary people, including Vince (founder and maker of Mystical Steel), whom I now consider one of my closest friends, a brother of the heart, a soulmate.

We now have many projects together, including our collaboration and handpan duo, "AlcheMyst Handpan," which we aim to take as far as possible.

Today, I offer meditative and relaxing music that can be enjoyed in any situation.
