Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – The Years In The Forest

 

🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 15: 

 

Memories of

 

✨“The Years In The Forest“ | Montreux Jazz Festival, 1993✨

 

 

Dear friends,

On Thursday's livestream on YouTube, I would like to invite you to reflect with me on the question: Is music merely an acoustic decoration—pleasant to have, just a form of entertainment?

 

Of course, music is all of that as well.

 

But it is more—much more?

 

And if so, what are its hidden, underlying powers?

 

What can it bring about beyond entertaining us?

 

What do you think?

 

What significance does music have in your life?

 

How do you listen to music?

 

How would you describe its effect on you?

I might have a few surprises in store for you …

 

I look forward to your comments, questions, and thoughts.

 

Please keep your contributions as concise as possible; otherwise, it will be difficult for me during the livestream.

 

Unfortunately, we will have to disable the chat function again this time.

 

I still need a bit of practice speaking and reading simultaneously.

 

So, until Thursday…

 

🎥 Livestream Thursday at 9:00 pm (CET) on YouTube.

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Belladonna

 

🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 16: 

 

Memories of

 

✨“Belladonna“ | Montreux Jazz Festival, 2011✨

 

 

„Belladonna at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2011: This is another example of how we take the main elements of an existing song and then wander off in complete new territory.

 

We call this thematic improvisation.

 

For this approach to work, the foundations of the music has 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
