Eolian Minstrel is Andreas Vollenweider's debut SBK Records release and the long awaited followup to his 1991 #1 NAC and jazz album, Book of Roses.
Andreas plays a harp, but one that has been modified to produce an extraordinary range of sounds.
A damper which he designed himself allows him to strum and pluck with more crispness and percussive attack.
A microphone attached to each string allows for greater articulation of individual notes, and hand-made strings further define his unique sonorities.
This recording is Andreas' most daring album to date and for the first time features guest vocalists, such as Carly Simon and Eliza Gilkyson.
