@andreas_vollenweider: 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 39: ✨”The Play Of The Five Balls” | Montreux Jazz Festival 2011, Switzerland✨ „‚The Play Of The Five Balls’ from the album White Winds is another example of how we take the main elements of an existing song and then wander off to completely new territory. We call this thematic improvisation. For this approach to work, the foundations of the music have to be deliberately kept simple, not to engage the intellectual mind, but rather to release all expectation and allow the music to take shape of its own accord, as far as ever possible. By setting aside the urge to conquer the instrument and to display acrobatic virtuosity, you set aside much of your ego. This creates space for the unexpected — which, at times, can lead to a rare and precious discovery.” – Andreas Andreas Vollenweider: harp Walter Keiser: drums Andi Pupato: percussion Steff la Cheffe: Beat Box Daniel Kuffer: winds & keys Sandro Friedrich: etnic winds Oliver Keller: guitars Greg Galli: keys and voice Daniel Pezzotti: Cello #andreasvollenweider #andreasvollenweiderandfriends #mjf #montreuxjazzfestival #harptok
