For the first time, Vollenweider extended his creative palette, drawing on the talents of many musicians worldwide. His modified harp was still in full effect, but \u003ci\u003eLion \u003c\/i\u003ematched its unique tone with touches of electric guitar (the light, Latin-influenced pop of \"Dance of the Masks\"), plaintive violin (\"See, My Love\"), and the ambitious title track, which mixed unique percussion and vocal elements into a surprisingly straightforward pop cocktail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the composer's early work seemed to be more about relaxation, or where the music could take the listener, \u003ci\u003eDancing With The Lion\u003c\/i\u003e seemed to encourage contemplation. It was easy to find solace in the Asian-inflected chording of \u003ci\u003eHippolyte\u003c\/i\u003e, or the album's atmospheric finale, where flutes, flamenco guitar, fiddle, and chimes combined with the harp in an approximation of that famous story about the white light at the end of the tunnel. The addition of so many extra instruments into Vollenweider's already widely scanning sound worked to expand his ideology as much as it did his sound, since the range of ethnic styles represented unified his music with so many locales. was a textured, pensive release that suggested Vollenweider's later work with an international cast of likeminded musicians and symphonies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mig Music","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50474701259083,"sku":"1154381","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474701521227,"sku":"1122448","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0fcccc34-fd8c-4720-b596-d2f4b8c859d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727437389"},{"product_id":"slow-flow-dancer","title":"Slow Flow \/ Dancer","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter \u003cem\u003eQuiet Places\u003c\/em\u003e (2020), \u003cstrong\u003eAndreas Vollenweider\u003c\/strong\u003e has grouped his music on his new album according to atmosphere and character: \u003cem\u003eSlow Flow\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of pieces with a relaxed, flowing feel, while \u003cem\u003eDancer\u003c\/em\u003e is full of movement and rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll 11 songs were created between 2010 and 2021 in collaboration with British producer Andy Wright (Eurythmics, Simply Red, Jeff Beck, Simple Minds, among many others). The two were supported in their creative process by Vollenweider's talented circle of friends, who laid the foundation for the songs: Walter Keiser (drums), Andi Pupato (percussion), Daniel Kueffer (bass clarinet), Oliver Keller (guitars) and the young Swiss rapper and beat boxer Steff La Cheffe, a.k.a.

The South African vocal harmony band Africapella and singer Ayanda Nhlangothi embody this connection. The London Session Orchestra, consisting of musicians from the Royal Symphonic Orchestra under the direction of James McWilliam, filled out the sound. Renowned British producer and arranger Peter Vettese is responsible for most of the orchestration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recordings took place at Andreas' Lakeside Studios in Switzerland, as well as at SABC Studios in Johannesburg, South Africa, and finally at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
