Andreas Vollenweider (b. October 4, 1953) is a Swiss musician. His music, very dynamic and colorful, has been categorized as World Music, Jazz, New Age or even Classical; two of his albums were number 1 on the Billboard charts simultaneously in the categories Classical, Jazz, Pop and Crossover for many weeks. His primary instrument is an electrically modified harp of his own design, but he also plays a wide variety of instruments from around the world, including the Chinese guzheng.

    Guys...listen to his first album. If all of his other albums were 1/10, that one would be 10/10.

    He's like an uglier, less talented Joanna Newsom!

    His music has been used in random TV shows and jingles for the last 30 years here. It's hard to explain what smells and things that aren't no longer there "Behind The Gardens, Behind The Wall, Under The Tree" makes me think of.
