Archer & Tripp - Handpan in a world music jacket.

Archer & Tripp are a true love story through the love of the newly created instrument (2000), handpan. Having met at the worlds first handpan gathering HangoutUK in 2014, they have since traveled the world, sharing their love for and through music. Both multi-instrumentalists Samantha Archer (UK) and Jaron Tripp (GER) bring unique abilities which, in their mixture, guarantee an excitingly unusual, profound musical experience at the pulse of our era.

Samantha’s classical training during her child and teenage years in piano, clarinet and vocals allowed her distinctive and instinctive sense for melody to flower into a skill for both improvisation and composition.
Jaron’s development as a musician is driven by the grounding power of rhythm. When starting to play the Hang in early 2006, the freedom of no tradition matched perfectly with his approach to music. Since studying complex rhythmical structures in a meditative way, whilst becoming a Taketina teacher (from 2010 – 2012), Jaron’s deep understanding of rhythm and pulse uniquely blends with Samantha’s enchanting melodic tone.
