How do you see it, is it already electronic music or does it count as acoustic? As I understand it, it is recorded on handpans.
But then the sound is changed a lot and sounds like drone, ambient etc. to me.

So what counts more, the final sound or the way the basic sound is produced?

Reminds me of discussions at the time when instruments like the clavinet emerged. There, for example, metal reeds are plucked,
then fed to the electronics via a pickup (usually a simple coil around the reed) and then processed as desired. Basically,
the same way it is done with any electric guitar. But despite the distortion and modulation effects, it is not automatically described as electronic music.
Or should we be more flexible with the categories?
