🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 20:
Memories of
✨“Domus Cordis“ | Zürich, 1998✨
"Zurich, Switzerland, 1998.
I was so very fortunate to be able to fulfil a very ambitious dream and open a new chapter in my musical world: to paint musically with the infinite variety of tone colours offered by the symphony orchestra.
The project was called Wolkenstein, a word that has always inspired me—seeking the lightness within the heavy, the heaviness within the feather light, and creating a harmonious connection between the two states.
Today, in the grandfatherly phase of my life, I now know that it was the music that helped me for this connection to become part of my nature and to keep my soul, despite many storms, steady and hopeful...
The songs we played were ‚Domus Cordis‘ from the album Kryptos and ‚Eastern Moons‘, which has never been recorded for an album.
I was also very lucky to meet André Bellmont, who greatly supported me with the orchestration and then brilliantly navigated the orchestra through a musical landscape that was at times a bit ‚unusual‘.
My friends Walter Keiser, Christoph Stiefel, and Matthias Ziegler also threw themselves courageously into this adventure.
The concert took place on September 6, 1998, in the fully packed Fraumünster Cathedral in Zurich." – Andreas
