About Me
Presentation / Introduction
Hello, I'm Jérôme "xkliber" Chauvin.
Music has always been an important part of my life, playing several instruments, solo or in bands and chamber or big orchestras, beside my job as an IT engineer in web techs and design.
I love to create, to mix and to mingle things and even more (*).
Multi-instrumentalist (Violin, Handpan, several "World Music" percussions and instruments, Electronic music and others as I like to discover and experiment things), I always thought that "Music is THE Universal Language" adding that “it even survived the fall of the Babel Tower”.
That’s why I love to mix several sorts of styles, cultures, musics and technics through my creations.
Music, more than just talking to everyone, also (re-)connects, heals, soothes and can be a powerful tool to do good.
(*) : Involved in Animals & Children care causes, I decided that a part of my music sales benefits will go to NGOs and Sanctuaries like L214, One Voice, Anonymous for the Voiceless, PeTA, Sea Shepherd, The Dragonfly NGO, Tierlebenshof Hunsrück-Mosel, ...

Handpan Music For Animals
I am the original creator of this concept and ongoing project, since 2015.My goal is to show how intelligent, sentient and lovable animals-non-humans are.I so wish that we, humanimals, make the connection and evolve to feel and understand the injustice, pain, terror, suffering and cruelty those beings are put through by our fault and our decisions on every level, as consumers and citizens.#GoVeganClick below to go to the dedicated video playlist:
Services
Beside my music and video releases and projects, I provide several kinds of services.
Use the contact form to ask me for more details.
Playing for animals in Sanctuaries
Like in my original concept and ongoing project started in 2015,
Handpan Music For Animals, the deep connections I have, every time, make me want to go even further and to come to share good vibes and to play for other beautiful souls and sentient beings.Contact me if you have an animal sanctuary for a healing process or if you have any event that will help you to gain more visitors and members.
Playing in Hospitals
How not to be sensible to the pain of others, especially children which are innocent and vulnerable?
I will sincerely enjoy to come and play for them there, as well as for other people who are isolated and suffer in any kind of way, in different types of medical structures, in order to share good, positive and soothing vibrations of Handpan music.
Contact me if you work in this kind of structure and think it can bring joy and peace to their hearts and minds.
(Online) Music collaboration / Movies, ads and video games Soundtrack
Like I always say:
"Music is THE Universal Language"
So if ever you feel the need or wish to have some magical, groovy and/or enchanting Handpan vibes or else (other world music subtleties, sounds form Nature and animals or even some electronic ones as I like to dig different kinds of sound worlds) in your own musical or video projects, don't hesitate!
In my experiences with musicians and some movie directors from all around the world, it was always a great adventure.
From small but cool projects to more complex and professional ones, I really enjoy to work with other creative people I would probably never have met otherwise.

Testimonials
I am a 100% fan! 🙂 From the beginning and forever! 😀


Talented artist, human being with a big heart. His videos where he shares his music with animals are absolutely cult and make him unique in the Handpan family.


Keep the good work brother. There are really beautiful things.


Congratulations on the album! It's very nice all the sound design and soundscapes you created, it works well, and musically I really like, it also tells a story! When you add small instruments in addition, it does it well! It's very immersive!


Jérôme is a passionate musician who loves to convey his love of music to others! Always available, attentive with very good advice.


It really looks like movie music.


Difficult to find words to describe sensations. I can only advise everyone to let themselves be transported with Jérôme's music and thus to commune with the heavenly and the earthly. Thank you Jérôme!


I love the sound of your Handpan music, it's beautiful Jérôme


Personne attachante et à la musique recherchée. 😊 Tel un chevalier de la Table Ronde à la recherche du Graal, il fait de même avec le Handpan musicalement.🙏


A pleasure of listening and authenticity on magic instruments. Thank you thank you and thank you again for these beautiful stories so finely carved and this beautiful musical journey.


Bravo, what a beautiful album where the sweetness of the Handpan is sublimated by the dramaturgical contribution of the sounds between songs ... I could not help but think that with some strings and vocals, we could think of an album from Wax Taylor ... that I love! 😊A nice trip on an unexpected tracks ...


I like the sound of the Handpan and your music, it is the instrument that emits sounds most apparent to the vibrations emitted and circulating in the Universe. I give 5/5 stars


I love to listen to your Handpan music


Musique merveilleuse et personne superbe
