@andreas_vollenweider: Treasures of the Archives – Part 48: ✨”Pyramid”, the Alpine Version | KKL Lucerne, Switzerland, 2023✨ “I was already a professional musician, and I had already tried almost every instrument under the sun in my search for “the right one” when I discovered the harp. Pyramid was one of the first pieces to introduce me to the immense and mysterious power of this unusual and fundamentally very archaic instrument. Since then, I have played the piece thousands of times, yet every performance produces an entirely new version. The form remains more or less the same, but the notes within are different every time. The curious thing is that, no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot remember the previous versions. This means I have to switch off my mind and simply let it flow, watching my hands as they allow the piece to take a new shape. And then there always was—and still is—Walter Keiser on drums. It is much the same for him, and we have tremendous fun surprising each other every time with changes both large and small. Whenever someone new joins our ensemble, something different emerges once again. We called the version in this video the “Alpine Version” because, while we were playing the final sequence, Isabel Gehweiler suddenly began to yodel. That inspired the closing section you hear here. Long live the flow…” – Andreas #AndreasVollenweider #AndreasVollenweiderAndFriends #liveconcert #KKL #harptok #fyp
