Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Part 34 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 34: Memories of ✨"Night Fire Dance" | Montreux Jazz Festival, 2011✨ "Our music is intentionally kept very simple, because this has the effect that we must constantly breathe new life into it — otherwise it becomes boring for us and for you. We always have to surprise each other. This piece is another example of how we take an existing song, one we may have played hundreds of times, and bring it into a free creative space where anything is possible again. This way, something new always emerges; the songs are never played the same way twice. We call this thematic improvisation. There is a red thread we can use — or not…" – Andreas

Laura Metaxa on May 17 4 years by Laura Metaxa It's been 4 years now without Vangelis. It took me time to understand deep down that he was no longer here to direct me or to pass on his light, which was always shining so bright. He was and still is such a strong presence and all those years I was intensely observing him sharing his convictions and values. Now it certainly is among my duties to protect and to preserve his personal archive for posterity and to rearrange things dear to him. His Legacy is and will remain alive, regardless of my involvement, that is the aim of my life. We see concerts organised using his name, as well as written narratives about him; I am sure Vangelis would not have consented and would have been on the opposing side, regardless of their legality or not. Being a man of strong emotions and also of high principles he would have been disappointed. Sooner or later, there will definitely be the right occasion when I will elaborate and describe in more detail the depth of his personality rather than recounted fragments of his persona that people pointlessly like to talk about or criticize, just because it is easy for them to do so. Today, a very special day, I wish to share with you a happy moment with Vangelis playing music; just a small clip from his very personal archive. - Laura Metaxa Video released through the Elsewhere Vangelis site, courtesy of Laura Metaxa.

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Part 32 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 32: Memories of ✨Father & Son Improvising | Zurich, Switzerland, 1979✨ "Through the many hours of improvising together with my father, it became self-evident to me at a very early age that music is a language through which one can express the truly important things that lie deep within our soul. There was a time, however, when I would have much preferred to go fishing with my father, or cycling, or simply do all the things other children did with their dads. But he was so profoundly immersed in music that, quite simply, nothing else existed. If you wanted to have a relationship with him, you had to make music with him. And so it was in music that we grew close—perhaps in a way we would never otherwise have experienced. Victor Hugo, the French poet, expressed it like this: ‚Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.‘ The recordings for this short video were made in 1979. We were playing in the Grossmünster in Zurich, on the organ that my father had once designed and on which he played until the end of his life. It was also there that we recorded our only album together, ‚Traumgarten (Garden of Dreams)‘. The artwork for the album was created by my grandfather — so in a way, it’s a bit of a family album.“ – Andreas
