With over 600 votes in 24 hours the winner is Morning Light! Congrats to Jeremy Arndt for coming up with the winning submission. There is a magical full-circle story to this, I'll let Jeremy explain:
"Wow! This is incredible news. Thank you for the opportunity to win a Handpan and for all you do for our growing Handpan community. It’s a blessing to be a caretaker of this instrument and Nancy and I will be sure to share it with people everywhere we go! This is especially a joy to me because earlier this year, I had my E Major Isthmus Handpan stolen from me while traveling in Morocco with it. This scale is very close to the one I had stolen and will allow Nancy and me to play duets again with a matching C# Minor and E Major pairing! I’m in shock... still can’t believe it. Thank you." - Jeremy
Jeremy told nancy when he submitted Morning Light that if he won, he would give it to her. Hold him to it, Nancy! Check out Jeremy and Nancy's music and tour dates here:
In earnest, thank you all for submitting names and participating in the voting. I was blown away by both the number of submissions and the deep intentionality in which they were submitted. If I come up with another new scale I know exactly how I will find its name.
Sincerely,
CFoulke
P.S. Below is my own rendering of what it will be like when Nancy has her new Æther Morning Light!
