„My mission is to give you  musical instruments with which you can carry sounds intuitively and freely into the world.

In improvisational playing, you immerse yourself in your inner freedom and draw on your natural and intuitive playing. You interact with yourself and your surroundings. Free and without limitations. You are sound. Become one with yourself, the elements and the sounding universe around you.“

About the WATERPAN

The WATERPAN by fjäril handmade percussion was designed by me and has been continuously developed since 2017. From an idea and countless hours of trial and error, it has now become a handcrafted musical instrument of high and consistent quality. For me, this is a step to send my work out into the world.
The latest version of my water-filled waterpan – fjäril handmade percussion sounds even better thanks to the second ring and doesn’t need an additional stand when played on the floor or table or snare stand. It also sounds free when played by hand.

I love that the waterpan doesn’t have fixed tonefields, and thus lets you combine rhythm with a delightful limitless swaying movement of the tones, which creates the mystical dreamy sound that makes the waterpan completely unique.

Behind the Craft

A glimpse into my workshop where every musical instrument is handmade

Our Team

A team both privately and professionally for 25 years.

As a married couple and parents, we found our way to self-development and freedom and traveled to Central America two years ago. Sweden has now become our new home. We create spaces for encounters – whether online or offline on our island – by offering coaching, therapeutic support and musical improvisation courses.

New musical instruments and sound sculptures are created in our workshop.
